[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 277510, member: 33342"] Let's stick with the facts: [list=1][*]RDA UK for protein = 55g [*]RDA US for protein = .36g per lb body weight = 90g in my case [*]Moderate Protein diet for kidney disease from Phoenix above=0.8 to 1g per kg body weight = 90 to 113g in my case [*]New Atkins for a New You=90 to 193g for someone of my height [*]Jeff Volek = maximum of 18% energy from protein= 112g in my case[/list] So can someone please tell me how low-carb diets are apparently high-protein? The numbers a above are largely consistent with Phoenix's diseased kidney diet, and much less than the typical non-vegetarian eats in a day. It's quite simple, you need enough protein to meet your structural needs plus a little bit of gluconeogenesis. if you eat more protein than that you'll kick yourself out of ketosis and mitigate the effects of low-carbing in the first place. The point of low-carbing is that you allow the satiating effect of protein to govern your calorie intake (rather than being confused with BG swings). The evidence suggests that under these conditions your appettite is governed almost entirely by your need to meet your protein requirement and no more. If you eat a high-carb low protein diet you'll end up eating lots more calories in trying to meet your protein requirement. [/QUOTE]
