An interesting blog with links to a number of low-carb Web sites--but not to this one!. Does she know that this board is up and running again?

I'm pretty sure she does. Mike Eades linked to her blog as well some time ago.

Incidentally, mTOR was one of my favorite topics in my last job and I even poposed a 'look-see' short study to address the possible mechanisms by which a higher intake of protein induces thermogenesis amont other effects. mTOR is a highly metabolically costly pathway in which leucine is only one activator. The pathway is also linked to the insulin pathway, which also makes it sensitive to carbohydrate fuel as well. Anyway... the idea wasn't received too well for many reasons... I suppose I'll read about it elswere and I'll say 'hmmm... maybe I was on the right path!'
