As far as I know no one should be on a protein free diet. I am a registered nurse and know that people with serious kidney disease must go on a low protein diet, but not protein free. Your friend should inquire further? Was she instructed to go protein free by a physician or was it someone else? The body must have a certain amount of protein to survive. Her physician should be the one to instruct her on low protein or a nutritionist where she is being treated.
