Intake of excess protein can stress your body systems. The ketones build up and this forces the kidney to work hard to flush them out and hence causing dehydration. You will then loose muscle mass and bone calcium. Other complications that is associated with excess protein and fats intake is elevated blood level of insulin, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Since there is lack of carbohydrates in the body to be burnt into fuels, the body breakdown fats to produce the required energy by the body. This in turn makes a person to feel less hungry and tend to eat less.
