False. There is a reason we eat carbs, fats and fiber. My uncle’s alternative medicine doctor put him on a diet that cut out all carbs and fats. In 6 months he got so sick he was barely able to walk, and he had all sorts of health problems. There is a reason people eat balanced diets…

How much protein do we need? Our protein needs depend on our age, size, and activity level. The standard method used by nutritionists to estimate our minimum daily protein requirement is to multiply the body weight in kilograms by .8, or weight in pounds by .37. This is the number of grams of protein that should be the daily minimum. According to this method, a person weighing 150 lbs. should eat 55 grams of protein per day, a 200-pound person should get 74 grams, and a 250-pound person, 92 grams. http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/nutrition/a/protein.htm
