Most were likely NOT drinking as much water as needed.

Need at least 64-96 oz PLUS 8oz for every 25#'s overweight.


When I do LC I drink 1-2 gallons a day, plus I might make Splenda sweetened tea or Kool-aid or even have a diet soda in addition to the water.

I plan on going back to LC soon as my GERD/Acid Reflux has returned.

The water thing is probably true. I know of two of these women myself. They were both young marrieds and ended up with the kidney stones after starting the Atkins Diet. I also received a pamphlet from the Kidney association warning of the problem. Women were the ones being affected. Maybe we need more carbs than men for proper kidney function.
