For real!! My personal trainer tried to tell me that eating more protein would make me lose weight. No, he didn't say eat fewer carbs - he said carbs give me energy to work out! People are out of control!!

With regular activity, a woman's body should receive no more than 6 ounces of protein per day. With increased physical activity, the number goes up - but so does the carb count. I completely understand why low carb/high protein diets make you lose weight and are VERY successful in this venture. However, don't kid yourself into believing that the calories somehow change and the protein can possibly have fewer calories per gram than the carbs!
