Also have your kidney functions tested every couple weeks as this

"diet"
plan will stress them dearly.


Is there anything I can do to reduce the chance of stressing my kidneys?

IE.
Eating a particular food type every so often?!

What warning signs should I look for with Kidney problems or should I be
asking my GP about dieting and asking to be referred to a dietician for

this
sort of testing?


It's always a good idea to talk to your doctor if you're making a change
in eating habits. You can be tested to see if you have any existing
kidney problems that you might not be aware of. If you do, then you most
definitely need to avoid too much protein since that can make things much
worse. If you don't currently have kidney problems, it might still be
good to occasionally get tested to make sure nothing develops if you're
intent on eating more protein than your body actually needs.
