While I'm not fit by any means, I carry a lot of muscle. (Johanna: strong like ox; smart like tractor!) I find that every diet plan I've read about* has far too little protein to maintain my health. I don't get low on sugar/carbs; I get low on protein.
*prurient curiousity on my part. I don't actually diet. I just like reading about the new fads so I can follow along as others do it. Wieght loss for me would have to involve exercise and better maintenance of my thyroid. Stupid slow metabolism :-/
