The study with athletes and high protein was posted last week here. They found that the dehydration occurred when athletes consumed in excess of 2g protein per kg of body weight. 1kg = 2.2 lbs. That's a lot of protein, and a person would have to be intentionally eating very large portions of meat, and adding protein shakes or other supplements during the day.

Most low-carbers are consuming average, adequate amounts of protein. Drinking lots and lots of water is good common sense in any regard
