The goal of the diet is to minimize the amount of metabolic wastes that need to be removed by the kidneys. Noncompliance with the diet causes wastes to reach higher concentrations in the blood. The waste materials can cause symptoms such as itching, nausea, and muscle cramps.

yes, not following the diet will increase all the annoying symptoms that go with a buildup of wastes.
