Is this the reason that Atkins and other low carb plans that produce
a
ketosis ( a state that makes the body think it is starving, according
to
Atkins )

Atkins NEVER wrote that ketosis is related to starvation. Because it
isn't. Pretty simple, that, but beyond the kenn of some.

Ketosis is about eating so little carb that your body burns it all and
still needs fuel. It's burning fat. Since Atkins is not low calorie,
it
does not trigger starvation.

reduce aging. people say i look 10 years younger. I,m 43.

Following the directions for Atkins is quite healthy for most people.
There is no telling what nutrition you were missin before, but
doing Atkins resolved that lack so you look better.
