Dr Westman gave a summary at the LC support group about this conference. The chiropractor who organized it is a supporter of Ketogenic diets. These LC meetings have become a gathering place for LCers, and there will be more around the country. When he asked how many already eat LC it was 2/3 + of the audience.

One of the commercial sponsors was the product Keto OS, about which Dr Westman is still skeptical for weight loss. It may be useful for other conditions but he reminds people that getting "into ketosis" through the use of exogenous ketones is not the goal if you want to lose weight. You still have to account for the calories in any product. IF you are getting 300 extra calories in coconut oil, MCT oil, or Keto OS, then you are not burning those 300 calories from your body fat. So consider your use of these products in light of your own goals. Keto OS had enthusiastic testimonials, but it is a multilevel marketing company, so consider that vs the use of products with extra calories if you still need to lose fat.
