Moreover, it has been hypothesised that the kidneys may be given too much work to do and that a related change in blood acidity causes bone loss, but some of the studies testing the theory have struggled to find significant evidence of deterioration of the kidneys or bone damage.
Although there is some evidence that suggests that low carb diets can help eliminate fat, some of this considerable evidence has caused controversy between nutritionalists, and their safety has been brought into question
