Not to mention that by
restricting carbs, it's pretty hard to "over consume" protein and fat.

I don't mean to be argumentative, and I certainly don't know
anything about this stuff, but I'm having trouble
understanding that. Why would it be "hard" to over-consume
protein and fat?

Fat and protein are essentially low-glycemic foods. They don't spike
blood sugar levels, like carbs do. Most carbs (especially the refined
kind) are high glycemic foods. And fat (in particular) is very
filling, meaning you can go longer between meals (especially when
fat-adapted). Carbs (sugar) are addictive, causing over-eating
(over-consumption).

PS: It's okay to be "argumentative" here. It's a very argumentative
newsgroup.
