blah blah blah... even Dr. A says VERY LOUDLY that people with kidney disease shouldn't be doing this WOE.

"people on these diets feel tired and lethargic" ???? hello?


^&^%()(& media!

Also, I think it should be noted AGAIN that Atkins is high FAT not high protein...they need to get the facts straight first. The are flat out lying. That article also was in the Boston Herald. Today The Herald also ran a commentary type of article Atkins bashing too.

Everyone knows that too much protein is dangerough to your health.

What they ignore (conveniently) is that low-carb diets do not encourage too much or high-protein, they encourage optimum protein, or at least adequate protein amounts.

It is very difficult to eat too much protein! Even if you eat meat in all your meals.

Low-protein, as well, is equally dangerous, why not highlight those studies....

Wa'il

Has anyone found a copy of the original study, without media comment. It would be interesting to read the science behind the article, and see if it relates to us or not...

The abstract doesn't define 'high protein'. They do define renal function by saying 'Creatinine concentration was used to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and creatinine clearance.'
