One of the beefs these experts always had with the Atkins diet (and any low carb\/higher protein diet diet) was its higher protein intake. Increased protein intake, these &#8220;experts&#8221; claimed, was dangerous, and could impede kidney function. While I agreed that people with kidney disease would be ill-advised to implement a high-protein diet, there was absolutely no evidence of any sort to indicate a higher-protein diet had negative health implications in healthy individuals.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:arial\"><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Well, guess what?<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:arial\"><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:arial\">A recent review of available research material by University of Connecticut researchers determined that there is &#8220;no significant evidence for a detrimental effect of high protein intakes on kidney function in healthy persons.&#8221; <\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:arial\"><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:arial\">So once again, if you&#8217;re eating a higher protein diet, don&#8217;t be swayed by negative comments from the &#8220;experts.&#8221; The evidence does not justify their comments.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:arial\"><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:arial\">This research is available for your review online, at the Nutrition and Metabolism web site. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/nutritionandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/1743-7075-2-25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Click here <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family:arial\">to visit the site, or <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/nutritionandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/1743-7075-2-25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">right click this link <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family:arial\">and choose &#8220;Save Target As&#8221; to download the PDF report of this research.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:arial\"><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:arial\">  <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A while back I wrote a brief piece on the Atkins diet, and how it always irritated me that the people critiquing it never seemed have any idea [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[28],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10441,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14\/revisions\/10441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/ufb-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
