Why So Many Diets Do Not Work. The Writers' Cafe: "throwing the entire human body into a metabolic pathway which is known as ketosis. This potentially dangerous metabolic pathway kicks in because of an extreme lack of carbohydates.
The body can no longer utilize its normal fuel source and now must turn to either breaking down stored fat (this is what we are hoping for and why we diet) or begin to break down either ingested protein, or alternatively break down protein which makes up the body, perhaps even breaking down muscle through cataboloic pathways (this is usually a bad thing)
Protein is made of amino acids, amino acids contain nitrogen. Excess nitrogen in the body is actually very harmfull. The excess nitrogen (nitrogenous wastes) get removed by the body via the kidenys."
