Answers:
Lack of calcium perhaps or the minerals and vitamins that enhance calcium absorption.
There is also the worry of kidney damage as the body uses protein for energy instead of carbohydrates. The breakdown of protein for use in this way releases damaging metabolites into the bloodstream which end up in the kidneys.
Heart specialists are none to keen on the diet either.
