The high fat diet may also help due to the fact that many nutrients we consume are soluble (therefore usable)
only in fats. So that the asthmatic might be getting many more helpful nutrients.

=================================================

A second point is that fat moves fat-----when dieters on low-fat diets plateau, some doctors tell
them to judiciously add fats to their diet in order to resume the weight loss.

You need to get fats and proteins from your diet. Your body can produce the necessary carbs without you having to eat carbs.
