[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 538745, member: 41816"] Hi, I suggest you do a bit of reading on the subject. I may be wrong on the details here (you can check whether I am right!) but I think that [LIST] [*]ketoacidosis is very bad for the kidneys - caused by very high blood sugar [*]Ketosis - caused by low carb and/or high protein diets - makes the kidneys work harder, eliminating the ketones, and need to be approached with care by people with kidney problems [B][I]but can be made to work[/I][/B] [*]Low carb diets can be either high fat, or high fat + high protein - it is the high protein that causes the problems [*]I am not aware that eating high fat affects the kidneys [*]High fat diets do not automatically result in weight gain - you just substitute the calories you were eating as carbs, with calories from fats, preferably healthy fats [/LIST] So you can still go low carb without harming your kidneys, you will just have to watch your protein intake doesn't get too high. You can get your calories from fat instead of filling up on carbs and excess protein. But please do not follow this advice without checking the facts first! These links may start you off, and I'm sure others will be along to correct me, or give further links. Somewhere on this site is an analysis of a study looking at the effect of low carb diets on kidney function [url]http://www.bloodsugar101.com[/url] This site gives lots of information on Low Carb Healthy Fats, not necessarily high protein [url]http://lowcarbhealthyfat.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
