Default Re: Has anyone tried Atkins and Alli (Orlistat) together?

However, Atkins remains a high fat diet with the majority of the total calories coming from fat
Agreed. One thing I'd point out here, however, for the sake of semantics (and for newbies reading this), is what Georgiana means is that it's a "high fat" diet in proportion to what else we consume on it (i.e. the 65% fat/30% protein /5% carb ratio). It's not a "high fat" diet in the aggregate sense, such as whether 165 grams of fat are "too high," etc. It's the ratio that makes it "high fat."

This is why Georgiana put "with the majority of the total calories coming from fat" at the end of the phrase "high fat."

Just wanted to point out the combined wisdom in that entire sentence...
