Guest guest Posted August 15, 1999 Report Share Posted August 15, 1999 I've noticed the enthusiasm around the Atkins Diet and even " Protien Power " diet. Who wouldn't with promises of great weight loss. I have heard, and even read an article or two about a real problem when folks continue on a high protien diet. It has to do with Kidney function and a disease called ketosis. It essentially ruins your kidneys. I'm not a medical professional...I'm a career dieter. My only advice to folks is that any thing in extremes is likely not good for you in the long run. I only have one kidney (came that way) so I'm really careful about this stuff, as tempting as it is.
