What happens if you don't get enough protein?

I'm just over 4 months out. Feel great. Doing well. The only thing is that I know I'm not getting enough Protein every day. Maybe half the time I do. I'm still happy with the speed at which I'm loosing weight. Anybody have issues from not taking in enough protein other than not loosing weight fast enough?

So I spoke with my Nutritionist and I'm getting close to the required amount of Protein, so she's not concerned. I'm 4.5 months out and can eat more than before, so I am getting enough protein. She did also say that they find people who meet their protein goals loose more weight. I'm at about a pound every 4 to 5 days give or take a day or two. Just hit 54 lbs today. I'm very happy with this rate of weight loss, so I'm just going to keep on keeping on. May the protein be with you! :)

I have not gotten to that point yet but my nutritionist everytime I talk to her she stresses the importance of getting enough protein.
