Low carb high protein -- a misnomer?
My understanding is that the liver only makes carbs as needed. I'm not sure
what happens to extra protein in this context.
IMHO: Low Carb should be high fat, not high protein.

Here's what I am thinking about... If we eat more protein than our
body requires for repairing body tissues, the rest is converted to
carbs/glucose.
If so, then a high protein diet actually supplies us with a lot of
carbs, right?
So, then, real low carbing should involve eating modest amount of
protein, and not a gross excess of protein. Otherwise it is not really
low carb.
Makes sense?
