The dreaded food pyramid recommends 12 to 15 percent of the diet to be protein. Atkin's recommends 20 to 30 percent protein. Which is not that far off.

I am a little unsure where people get the fact that all *this* protein ruins the liver and kidneys.

I would agree with Rosebud to see a doctor. It could be you have an underlying medical condition causing the yellowing of the eyes, but I highly doubt it was brought on by Atkin's unless you were having 50 to 60 percent of your diet in protein.

You don't have to answer these outloud but:

Any of your co workers or close friends been exposed to, or have had Hepatitis A,B or C? Do you drink alcohol in excess (females 21 units/males 28 units per week)(unit is a glass of wine or a half pint of beer)

There are many things that effect the liver. Go to a doctor for tests.
