too much protein - not enough carbs

Hi! I'm brand new to MFP and am doing fine staying within total calories. The one problem I'm having is - I'm going over on proteins and I'm under on carbs. Will this stall weight loss?

Thanks in advance!

    It's probably a good thing. Most here agree that MFP's standard calorie ratio allows too many carbs, not enough protein. So, keep up the good work!

    This will increase weight loss. In simple terms, carbs hold water, and depleting carbs also depletes water.
