please understand.....
muscle degredation is the result of trying to play a full contact sport (like living your life) on an empty tank. Severely restricting carbs (the most readily available energy source with sugars) will/can cause your body to pull from other sources.
But the over compensation of proteins and fats in this diet puts a great load on the kidneys.
I am just naturally worried about any diet that severely restricts anything the lord built us to use as fuel.
in a controlled environment the diet may work well (healthy wise) but in this 'its better to look good than to feel good' society + people who go to EXTREMES i feel the warnings should be heeded.
its the entire diet, not the fact that it restricts carbs.
