Many people choose to undergo a high protein diet because they want to get the ideal body in a short time. Although the results are satisfying because can lose weight instantly, but this diet can also be dangerous.
"The kidneys must work harder to filter out the high-protein, the result is the deposition of calcium and magnesium in the kidneys, which can lead to crystals or kidney stones," said Dr. dr. Saptawati Bardosono, MSc from the Department of Nutritional Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia on an educational media in Jakarta.
Saptawati explained, 80 percent the causes of stones in the urinary tract is due to deposition of calcium. She said that a high protein diet was not only able to increase the production of kidney stones, but also can increase the risk of colon cancer.
This high-protein dieters are consuming more meat or a type of protein source, but often forget about carbohydrates, fiber, and adequate fluid intake to the body.
As a result, the body will become weak due to lack of carbohydrates. Intestine will hoard more fat due to lack of fiber intake, and the onset of dehydration due to too high levels of protein in the body.
"Indeed many people who undergo high-protein diet has a great body, but eventually many of them that had to undergo hemodialysis or dialysis therapy," she said.
So, for those of you who are currently undergoing a high protein diet program, you should still consider the intake of carbohydrates and fiber to your body.
