My mother is here with me for the holiday, and this morning she had toast for breakfast. Then I offered her Christmas cookies, and she declined. Evenings she brushes and flosses her teeth after dinner and eats nothing else. She weighs 95 lbs. and I don't think anyone needs to study why.

Yes, but WHY can she do that, with no conscious effort on her part?? What is different between her and fatter folks, many of whom ARE making a signficiant effort and NOT succeeding?? It isn't all just "will-power" (or "won't power").
I suspect that in the end, the determining factor will differ for broad classes of people. I think Dr. Atkins was absolutely right about the effects of carbohydrates and insulin (on SOME people), as it appears that I am one of them.
