I recently went to my doctor about an unrelated allergy issue. While there, I requested that they test my thryoid because even on Atkins, I loose weight very slowly. When the nurse practitioner heard "Atkins" her eyebrows went up and she said,"Is that the high protein diet? You shouldn't be using that diet it's not good for your kidneys and no one loses weight on fad diets."
So when is someone going to be able to medically the kidney issue? Also, I don't think the majority of doctors read all the updated information on diet trends or way of life.
