Yes that's right. Dr. Atkins said that the benefits are NOT a function of the level of ketosis. He wanted us to "climb the carb ladder", find our carb limit then take a step down.

Today Dr. Westman agrees saying that he does not find there is an optimum level of ketosis.

Now today with this misinformation given by P&V people actually do think that more ketones is better for weight loss or at least there is an optimum level somewhere short of ketoacidosis.
