One of the books I read indicated that there is no provision in the body to store protein like there is for storing fat. This means that those low carb diets could work because they are high in protein but low in the fats forcing the body to go use the stores it already has.

However, it’s important to note with such low carb diets that eating too much protein (over 3 to 4 ounces a day) can cause illness. Check your keytones frequently and make sure and drink lots and lots of water if you’re going to try it.

I’m off to find out about ph levels now. I’ve been very curious about this since Melissa Etheridge beat breast cancer and talked so much about eating like that.
