Can you have too much protein?

Ah yes, I too like to take advice from an era when most of the world was malnourished. I'm also looking for ways to increase my risk of cholera and dysentery. Any helpful hints on getting unvaccinated for polio?bronkeekong wrote: »We were never meant to eat as much protein as we do now.

Pretty sure whenever I had to go to the 1800s recreations for field trips, the guy doing the lumberjack recreations would always mention lumberjacks getting at LEAST 1 pound of meat per day, horse or cow depending what died. So, yeah, even your creative anachronism has some holes in it as far as actual history, let alone science.0

Not to mention, the Irish lost their main staple food during the potato famine, and most families couldn't even afford to eat well. And let's not get started on the mass poverty that existed when New York and Boston began to get settled by a mass exodus of immigrants.
1800s are not a good example of prosperity and good nutrition.0 -

What was the life expectancy in the 1800s? Like 60?

Strong logic.0 -
I still want to know what the photos prove.
Here are some of my ancestors from the 1800s:
Too much protein, too little protein, or just right?0 -
Yeah there would be a lot more than just 10% carbs. If you guys truly want to live healthy fit lives you need a balance of all 3 macros. Fats especially, meaning poly and monounsaturated fats. You know nuts, avocados, fish. And why rice cakes? Go for a lower glycemic carb if you goal is weight loss, try quinoa or wild rice instead of that processed crap. Just weight for those head aches, loss of energy, and feeling of your body shutting down from protein overdose.0

I'm getting 250g protein a day

You guys are clearly in educated. Look it up. Yeah I eat 225g a day, but if your diet consists of strictly protein it will *kitten* your entire system up, a guy above me even said so. It starts to damage your kidneys. I'm glad the Catholic Church had to step in on this one to show that only they are right and anyone educated persons must be wrong, going to tell me the world is flat or how it's at the centre of the universe next? Wanna shut me down on your ability to overdose on water as well?0

If your whole diet is protein, you'll have issues not from protein, but not having the fats needed to create hormones. You'd almost have to be setting out to make that happen.You guys are clearly in educated. Look it up.

Now, very technically, if you switched to almost all protein, the first days would be hard on the liver and kidneys as they'd have to ramp up producing the enzymes that breakdown protein and turn it into an energy source. This is known as rabbit starvation. It has next to nothing to do with any diet eaten by anyone who has internet access - this is pretty much being in wilderness having access only to incredibly lean meat.

lol what are you even talking about
yeah, we all think eating a 100% protein diet is completely safe
you caught us0 -
There are actually dangers to over consumption of certain amino acids. Excessive protein consumption is a common discussion and concern among nutritionist. And even if over dose was the wrong word for the situation, it does not mean people need to come in without a shred of useful information just to attempt to discredit others who are just trying to be informative to someone asking a question.0

if you actually bothered to read the thread, you'd see that OP was logging inaccurately, and has already corrected the logging issue
but thanks for shocking us with the concept that a 90% protein diet would be unhealthy0 -
And thanks, but if you had read my post you'd see that I acknowledged that within my first few sentences, after that I was merely trying to be informative for the OPs benefit. I've got to ask man, what's your problem? Like I get that filling your ego up by being a *kitten* disturber can be fun, but don't you ever get bored with being up on that high horse?0

brother you couldn't take a few joking replies to your difficult-to-read post and immediately lashed out by calling everyone uneducated
so much for ego0 -
Well *kitten* man, never feels good to leave a post and have some pretty hard criticism waiting for you, yeah it could've been worded better. And slightly more organized I'll give those to you0

hey it's just the internet bro don't take it too seriously
many here advocate at least a somewhat-balanced diet and I don't think anyone would suggest that consuming 90% of your diet as protein would be advisable, because that would be crazy. but you never know0
