I know that too much protein is a problem for diabetics (such as myself), but hadn't realized it was for non-diabetics, too. I had been eating a lot of meat because it has no carbs & couldn't figure out why my bg wasn't going down. When I learned the truth my scream of frustration was probably heard for miles! But moderate protein worked & my bg is normal - without meds - as long as I eat on-plan. And that was when I was able to go from 3 meals to 2 without insane hunger.
