Ketosis and one kidney

[hardcoremt]

Fellas,
I have a client i personal train and he is 32 years 200# @25% BF but has only one kidney. Its a healthy kidney but i was wondering your opinion on whether it would be a bad idea to put him on a keto diet? Id be using Palumbos Diet which uses healthy fats like Mac Nut Oil, Nuts, Natural Pbutter, and fish oil.
Would this be a bad idea?
Thanks

My little brother only has 1 too.. We found out when he was like 5, and he started to casually mention to people that he only had 1.. We had to tell him that it wasn't a great ice-breaker, lol.

I have one kidney(due to a near fatal car accident twenty years ago) and have done many keto diets.I am also diabetic so I keep my carbs pretty low most of the time anyway.
I think the thing is to drink lots and lots of water and I get blood work every 3 months.
So from someone with one kidney that does use low carb diets(ketosis) from time to time ,I see no problems if precautions are taken and bloodwork is monitored.

Thanks for your input. Ive done quite a bit of research on this. Being a Personal Trainer i am going to stay away from giving this individual a Diet. He is considered Special Population. Too many legal things could go wrong. I can steer him in the right direction but from what ive researched giving anyone a A B C Diet that is not 100% healthy could really be a mess down the road. No biggie ill give him his money back on the diet. Hell have to see his Dr or a Nutritionist if he wants a detailed diet.

I don't blame you as the ball would be in his court as far as being smart and safe about undertaking such a diet.If he dehydrated himself severely and did some damge,rest assured in todays law suit happy society he would find an attorney willing to sue.
I just wanted to speak up as someone with experience with this particular circumstance.good luck

Just out of curiousity do you know any diets that do allow carbs? Perhaps you can refer to him to someone on this board, Alex would be a great example of a guy who can help you lose weight, or get shredded with a good amount of carbs.

Yes i write diets for clients so getting him the right diet is not a problem. Im hesitant to write him ANY diet advice. Prolly give him his Money back for the diet and just train him. Thanks for your input
