There are reports surfacing showing that high protein diets ie. Atkins can cause osteoporosis later on in life. Has to do with the process your body use to break down protein.
A quote taken from the first googled result...
"The more protein in your diet, the more calcium you lose in your urine. Because your bones are your largest source of stored calcium, there are concerns that the amount of protein eaten by people following the Atkins Diet (or any low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet) will increase the risk of osteoporosis."
On a side note my friend who has his Post-Doctorate in Biology was also saying its funny how people consume dairy products to increase their calcium intake... there really is no net calcium in your body after b/c of the protein in the dairy products!
Later.
