The version of high protein I mean includes at least 1 serving of complex carbs daily, about 40gr, plus another 40 from huge fruit and vegetable consumption making ketosis impossible.
Then ANOTHER false pull toward anti-protein is the claim of dehydration which leads to stress on kidneys. It is true but any and every source that gives a high protein diet also states to drink a gallon of water daily. That replaces water lost during exercise, keeps kidneys healthy, transports nutrients etc..
See how these articles are useless.
