its not that alot of protein hurts you so much as a lack of
carbohydrates hurt your body over the long term. My doctor was saying
something to the effect that over the long term your body will begin to
develop excess amounts of acetone (nail polish remover basically) which
cause some health problems. I don't remember the words he used but he
was saying the only way he would recommend someone to use a low carb
diet was if they did it just to loose the weight they wanted but then
transition to a HEALTHY diet. I've always hated atkins i hate atkins at
work, i hate all the low carb crap thats hyped these days. But in 10-20
years if these people stay on the diet we'll see them suffering the
consequences lol. *Shrugs* Atkins is easier for people because it takes
less discipline to loose the weight then it does with a traditional
diet. Excluding of course the people who medically can't loose weight
for whatever reason.

I think too much protein hurting your kidneys is a bit of a myth. I take
in LOTS of protein, mostly from meal replacements and protein shakes and
it doesn't bother me. It could be because I work out a lot and maybe it
helps break it down better, but I have asked on a few bodybuilding
forums I go on about protein damaging kidneys and most people say it's
not true. I'm no doctor so I don't have substantial evidence on this,
just my findings.

Careful. My mom had a "cardiac event" which we think was due to her
starting
an Atkin's like diet. It's also very hard on your kidneys (too much
protein). Best to do some research to see how it might affect you.
