They don’t unless they have pre-existing damage. Only THEN would it put too much strain on their kidneys.

High protein diets are bogus. If you go on a 1200 calorie a day diet for protein, or carbohydrate, or veggies only, you’re going to lose weight — period due to basic caloric deficit. Weight loss is the simple formula of consuming less than you burn. It doesn’t matter if it’s carbohydrate, fat or protein.
Protein has byproducts when it is converted to energy which creates additional work and stress for the kidneys and liver filtration systems.
