Some experts say eating a low, or no carbohydrate diet -- as so many of the pro-protein plans recommend -- causes the blood to become too acidic, a condition known as ketosis, which, over time, slows brain functions and harms the kidneys. Experts also worry that high-protein diets have too little fibre -- proven to play an important role in the prevention of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, colon cancer and irritable bowel syndrome -- and too much saturated fat, known to cause anything from diabetes and strokes to several types of cancers.
