Default Brittle bones and only 29 years old!!!!

What's the word on low carb eating and osteoporosis (sp?) ??

I am only 29 and am on Atkins and just had an xray done on my foot...tendon injury and was told that I have many old fractures ( I never knew) and was told I have very brittle bones that look like they belong on a 60 year old. I am freaking out now and waiting to hear from my regular doc to get a bone density scan and Vitamin D test. Meanwhile, the foot doc told me to take Vitamin D and Calcium supplements and change my diet.

Problem: She says high fats, proteins, sodium, iron, all contribute to calcium and mineral loss in the bones.

Ummm. I am only 29 I should not be having this problem to begin with. What do I do??? I need to lose this weight as I am sure it had something to do with all those fractures and the tendon issue if my bones are that bad.

I was thinking of cutting down on my red meat consumption and just sticking with high calcium fish like salmon and adding a lot of dark leafy greens to my diet but how do I avoid the high fat issue. Salt I can cut back on as well as diet soda. I am quitting that stuff but the fats and proteins concern me now.
