That's absolutely incorrect! Well, half incorrect. Nobody can live
on pure protein (where do you get it?). Fats have to be a major part
of your diet (and protein usually comes along for the ride).
Then what is the mechanism in a high protein low carb diet
that brings on weight loss? And what might be the limits if
there are any?
The leaner the meat, the less the fats along with no carbs?
Don't think I wanna go there.
That's my point.
There are people who eat only animal fats and protein all their life
-- NO carbs. They're considered the healthiest people in the world
(no diabetes, no heart or circulatory problems, no cancers, no
obesity). Also, some time ago, two NYC MDs decided to run a test on
themselves by eating only meat for a year. They were carefully
monitored (one lived in Bellevue hospital during the year), and both
were more healthy at the end of the year than when they started.
