I remember being shocked in seeing my dad's first meals served to him in the hospital right after his strokes....roast beef, green beans w/liberal butter, coffee with heavy cream, eggs and sausage. My first thought was that they had just blew out his brain to clean out the arteries, now busy clogging them up again with all the fat?? He had a neurologist, heart specialist, and a family practicioner working together and approving his meals.

My aunt had a gastric bypass, and her doc put her on LC too -- which I thought was strange, as the LC would have worked by itself and avoided surgery :-/.



I think where we are differing is that you are coming from an Atkin's perspective and I am coming more from Protein Power.

I am a bit confused by the state of ketosis, considering PP states that their plan will NOT leave you in a ketonic state, yet the same process in burning fat is occuring.
