If you're on kidney dialysis you're told not to eat a high protein diet.

I heard that ketosis is very hard on the kidneys. I have a friend who was born with one kidney, and her doctors expressly forbade her from doing any ketogenic type diets.

What is your view on ketosis and kidney function.

Hi Doug--

It's not ketosis that is supposedly "very hard on the kidneys," but a ketogenic diet. The part of the ketogenic diet that is supposedly damaging to the kidneys is the higher protein content of that diet. Much research has shown that dietary protein DOES NOT have an adverse effect on normally functioning kidneys, even if it just one normally functioning kidney. The idea that protein damages kidneys is what I call a vampire myth, one that keeps coming back to life no matter how many times it has been killed by the light of good research.

Hope this helps.

02/06/10: I ate a high protein, low carb, low fat diet and got severe kidney problems from it. It took me 1 1/2 -- 2 years to get my kidneys back to normal. No kidding. I now eat a high fat, very low carb, adequate
protein (46 g) diet, and that has been working for me so far.

If you truly developed kidney problems as a consequence of the protein in a low-carb diet, you're the first one I've heard of to do so.

In reply to Jibbie49. If they were on a low carb diet they would not be fat. Low fat diets make you fat.

I've been eating a low-fat diet for about 15 years and I had my gallbladder removed this past December, after feeling horridly for a year, with very painful attacks. Now I've gone low-carb and I haven't felt this good and energized in years.

Also, about modern cats and dogs...they don't eat a diet high in meat. They eat a diet high in grains and meat byproducts, which is what dog good is made of for the most part. So that really doesn't say much about how protein influences the kidneys.

[Jibbie49]

80% of obese people have gallstones, so a "diet" doesn't cause them.

This guy is so off on so many points. Jimmy needs better quality control. Although he has had some great episodes lately.
