Keto is hard on the kidneys.

Nonsense. What is your source?

If you consume a high-fat, low-calorie diet, your body will produce compounds known as ketone bodies as it burns fat. This can trigger metabolic acidosis. Most people would want to avoid this because metabolic acidosis is commonly found in patients with chronic kidney disease. So yeah, Keto diets are hard on the kidneys, which is why they are not meant to be long term solutions for weight loss.

Here is *a* source.

I know there are conflicting reports about it, and perhaps the biggest problem is for those who are overweight and losing weight on the keto diet since it’s such a radical change in eating and there’s the sudden weight loss that happens.

I suspect that it would be better for people who want to cut their carbs to do it more slowly than going keto cold turkey.
