Protein and Fat Diet
The diet includes large amounts of proteins and fats, while limiting the intake of carbohydrates. If the body does not get enough glucose, diabetes can develop. Kidney failures also occur.
Excessive amounts of protein over a long period of time can “spill over” into tubulopathy. This is a condition in which there is a change in the transport of all organic substances in the kidneys. As a result, stones (concrements) will form even with a balanced diet.
Excess fat is bad for the brain, as well as the liver, which has difficulty coping with a concentrated source of calories. Why? Lots of ketone bodies are formed and ketoacidotic crisis develops. The lack of carbohydrates increases the risk of energy deficiency. The person will experience weakness and dizziness.
Low-carbohydrate diet.
Limiting carbohydrate intake to 50-100 g per day can be hazardous to a person’s health, especially if the diet is not balanced and carried out without specialist supervision.
One of the most common problems associated with a low-carbohydrate diet is ketoacidosis. This is a decompensated form of diabetes mellitus. The disease leads to serious complications: for example, disorientation in space, seizures and even coma.
Such an effect is caused by an increase in the level of ketone bodies in the blood. They are formed when fats are broken down and can accumulate in the body, forming heart and brain malfunctions.
Prolonged use of a low-carbohydrate diet can lead to a lack of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. These are found in large quantities in fruits, vegetables, and grains. There is a risk of developing vitamin C deficiency and osteoporosis. There is also a negative psychological impact on the body. It is a question of mood deterioration, irritability, and depression.
