But one thing I didnt knwo about low carb dieting that I recently learned: it can cause kidney stones. My best firend had a horrible case of kidney stones last month and the doctors said it was becasue of too much protien in her diet brought on by the adkins diet she is on. He said to be sure and drink lots and lots of water.
Yes, you need to drink atleast a gallon a day (YIKES!) More if possible. It's because your fat is burning so quickly.

That's awesome that your friend lost so much and that your dad is doing so well!
