as for low carb, by switching to protein as the main part of the diet you are forcing the metabolic pathways to use fat, as it doesn't want to use protein for fuel. the problem is that without carb input you quickly end up with lots of ketone bodies and acidification of the blood (not good) (not to mention the demands put on the kidneys due to them having to get rid of a lot more nitrogen)

I have been low carb since 2007, lost 120 lb, and my blood tests (including kidneys) are better than they have ever been. I can't agree with that at all.
