    Your kidneys will have to work much harder. Some low-carb diets are high in saturated fats which raises the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. In addition, some high-protein/low-carbohydrate diets limit intake of high-fiber plant foods, which can help lower cholesterol. In addition to this there haven't really been any long term studies (as far as I know) about the impact of high protein diets.

    But if you want to do it here are some tips:

    If I don't eat carbs and fiber for breakfast I'm going to be hungry within an hour. No way am I giving up my jummy jummy bread.

    Is this a joke?

    22 year old male, 20 ish pounds to lose, 500 calories and exercise every day...how have you not collapsed/fainted yet?

    I get dizzy a lot actually. I've been ignoring it since the results have been so great. I'm not trolling you guys, I'm being honest.

    :huh:

    If you're not trolling, get professional help.

    ^this

    Seriously.
