In another of Atkins Diet Misconception series, I deal with the question of kidney stones or “does the Atkins Diet impair kidney function?” First, if you have damaged kidney function already due to Chronic Kidney Disease, Metabolic disorder, or impaired kidney function, it is recommended that you do not try the Atkins Diet.

My freind and I were talking today and I told her that I really dont like meat all that much, I made the joke that if I could do a "reverse adkins diet" I would love it, she said she had heard that if you cut the meat out of your diet you could lose weight. Is that true?
