Well if you're feeling great, then that's fine. Make sure to get renal function checked on a routine basis to ensure things are working properly.
Most people who come on this forum have had the opposite response to a high protein/low fat caloric ratio. They've tried it, and it hasn't worked. That means people like myself either didn't lose weight, felt extremely tired all the time, or both. For me, it was both.
You lost weight because you kept your carbohydrate intake low, and your metabolism could handle the amount of lean meat you were feeding it. Some people's bodies will readily take excess protein and have it undergo gluconeogenesis.
You can tell us that fat causes cancer, red meat causes iron overdose, doesn't matter. This is about as effective as telling a vegetarian that vegetables cause cancer and then giving no evidence to back that statement up.
I wish you luck on your low-fat, low-carb journey. It's just not for me, or a lot of us who belong to this forum. You might be able to get newbies to try your woe for a while, but you won't sway the opinion of the more experienced LC-ers who have experimented and found out what works for them.
