    It really isn't UNLESS you have a medical condition usually with kidneys or liver.

    Atkins is a very popular diet and that is all protein and fat. Thousands of people do well on it with no issues.

    Only thing I read so far is that excess on protein could cause extra stree on your liver. So it's highly recommended to drin lots lots of water when on high protein diet...but I doubt you would go that high. Still drink water. :)

    It's best to make the effort to balance your macro's as recommended by MFP.
    It makes a difference.
    Just know that our bodies need these to function at optimal health, so depending on your goals, these numbers will be balanced a certain way.
    If you deviate from the standard MFP recommendations, run it by your doctor or nutritionist just to keep your efforts healthy.
    Some people go overboard in telling others to cut this and load with that.
    Be careful.
