Please inform me of some sources for these kidney damage risk. I am on a ketogenic (it works great and more thanjust water wieght the first two weeks) so I would like to see some published arguments against it. All references in the Zone and Atkins say nothing about permanent kidney damage. >>>>>>>>>>>>>. Did you expect that it would<g> The degree of damage you do to yourself will certainly depend on the time you manipulate your diet in such a way. "Diets" do not really work. The only way to keep weight off is to make a change in the way you eat and exercise. A permanent change. For many people this will also require that they change their relationship with food(no cracks please<g>). This is a whole topic unto itself that I don't have time to write about (any shrinks please?). Many really overweight people have several other issues that they should deal with as well. Then there is the whole social nature of food consumption, the type of food that makes money and is easy to sell, the short term thinking of rewards and not long term benefit . . . and then of course there is just eating too much quantity and not enough quality. If you want to lose weight make a real change. If that is under the system Dan and Terry advocate- fine. Either way you have to find a responsible way to manage weight and "losing 10 pounds in a week" diets are a joke and they accomplish two things. They make people very rich and they cause your weight to fluctuate- sometimes rapidly in a dangerous way. If you are not really committed to the change don't waste your time. More to follow.
