I like zero carbs, moderate protein, and the balance in the form of fat.
 I follow the 1.2 grams of protein per kg of reference ("ideal") body
weight that Phinney uses in his study on exercise and ketosis.

Here's a quote for you from the Phinney review
(http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/1/1/2)

"It is interesting to note from the careful observations published from
the Bellevue study that Stafansson ate relatively modestly of protein,
deriving between 80–85% of his dietary energy from fat and only
15–20% from protein [9]. This was, and still remains, at odds with the
popular conception that the Inuit ate a high protein diet, whereas in
reality it appears to have been a high fat diet with a moderate intake
of protein. In his writings, Stefansson notes that the Inuit were
careful to limit their intake of lean meat, giving excess lean meat to
their dogs and reserving the higher fat portions for human consumption
[11]."

The moderate protein regime contradicts most of the paleo friendly low
carb plans out there.
