... I was trying to see what a 5% protein diet would do...

Since your diet is low carb and low protein, you must be eating fat.

A horrifying amount, according to friends and family. One says, clog
within a year. I only have 7 more months to live!

Instead of worrying about what's happening from eating some nuts while
on a diet that is unsustainable anyway, I'd be focused on a sound,
proven diet strategy that works. *For me, that's Atkins.

You are right, many studies with Atkins have shown favorable results.
And it does seem that, at around 5% protein, the body is eager for
more. (Have you looked into the pluses and minuses of the Ketogenic
Diet?)
