[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1051406, member: 211504"] I've mentioned this many times on this forum and it's still one of the most neglected aspects of a low-carb diet: protein intake is extremely important and too much or too little can have negative effects. To keep it very simple -Not enough protein can cause you to lose lean mass (muscle) -Too much protein can be converted into glucose (gluconeogenesis) which can elevate your blood sugars. -Each person is different, but the general rule of thumb is 1-1.5g of protein for every 1kg of body weight. Some people need less, and other people need more. Long story short, we should be calling it a Low carb/Moderate Protein/High Fat diet. [/QUOTE]
