Too Much Protein?

Had my 1 year check up yesterday - down 145 lbs, 15 to goal. All my lab work came out with flying colors however my Dr wants me to cut back my protein to 50 grms (currently I'm getting approx 100 grms per day - mainly due to protein shakes). He says too much protein is hard on your kidneys and could be dangerous but generally speaking all I read is about upping your protein for good weight loss. I'm confused - if I cut back to only 50 grms won't my weight loss stop? Thanks!
