Thanks so much! I will give it a try! :) I sure could use help with the binge eating, that's for sure!

Many reputable sources disagree. The Mayo clinic, for example, recommends avoiding high-protein diets such as Atkins for more than 3 months.

F.

Hmm. If I read the article correctly, the issue is less with too much protein and more about the problems that go along with restricting carbs (not enough veg) and eating too many meats that are high in fat. Eating salad with a chicken breast every day is not going to trigger those problems.

(I'd also like to know what the Mayo clinic defines as 'high' in protein--more than 1g/lb? That article is frustratingly vague!)
