Low-carb and high-protein diet are tempting to sight and taste. There is no harm is eating high-protein diet. However, continuing it for a long time is challenging for your kidneys. Protein strains your kidneys and makes you thristy. Keeping it under balance, high-protein diet helps you losing weight and building muscle. It keeps your satiety satisfied for long hours helping you avoid overeating.
