I am interested in changing my diet to more protein and less carbs. are there any risks to this approach, what concerns if any should i consider. what are the risks with too little or too much protein in your diet?

Depends: Too little protein in diet could result in muscle breakdown. Too much may cause weight gain or affect kidney function. About one gram of protein/kg of weight is sufficient.
