    Are you equally addicted to kale, soya beans, lentils and nuts? All excellent protein sources.

    Is it not rather flesh you are addicted to? To be honest, I love eating flesh but have chosen not to - doesn't stop me liking and feeling drawn to bacon, steak, eggs, fish etc. etc.

    I swear, this week is troll week. These threads are getting dumber and dumber.

    Hey OP, it isn't a problem. It's called liking good *kitten* food that happens to have a *kitten* ton of protein in it.

    You can sit down somewhere. Ugh.

    You should seek counseling and try to find a support group. Addictions like these are no joke and just as serious as alcoholism or heroine.

    This is not helpful, you wouldn't encourage a heroin addict to shoot up would you? Or offer a sugar addict a cookie?

    Protein is a nutrient. It isn't a class of foods. Milk has protein too..... Unless you have some weird psychological issues, you aren't addicted. you just like that stuff.

    Here's a little Wiki for you though:

    When a high dietary protein intake is consumed, there is an increase in urea excretion, which suggests that amino acid oxidation is increased.[17] High levels of protein intake increase the activity of branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase.[17] As a result, oxidation is facilitated, and the amino group of the amino acid is excreted to the liver.[17] This process suggests that excess protein consumption results in protein oxidation and that the protein is excreted.[17] The body is unable to store excess protein.[17][22] Protein is digested into amino acids, which enter the bloodstream. Excess amino acids are converted to other usable molecules by the liver in a process called deamination. Deamination converts nitrogen from the amino acid into ammonia, which is converted by the liver into urea in the urea cycle. Excretion of urea is performed by the kidneys. These organs can normally cope with any extra workload, but, if kidney disease occurs, a decrease in protein will often be prescribed.[23] When there is excess protein intake, amino acids can be converted to glucose or ketones, in addition to being oxidized for fuel.[24] When food protein intake is periodically high or low, the body tries to keep protein levels at an equilibrium by using the "labile protein reserve", which serves as a short-term protein store to be used for emergencies or daily variations in protein intake.[4] However, that reserve is not utilized as longer-term storage for future needs.[4]

    Many researchers have also found that excessive intake of protein increases calcium excretion in urine.[4] It has been thought that this occurs to maintain the pH imbalance from the oxidation of sulfur amino acids.[4] Also, it is inconclusive whether bone resorption contributes to bone loss and osteoporosis.[4] However, it is also found that a regular intake of calcium would be able to stabilize this loss.[4]

    Another issue arising from over-consumption of protein is a higher risk of kidney stone formation from calcium in the renal circulatory system.[4] It has been found that high animal protein intake in healthy individuals increases the probability of forming kidney stones by 250 percent.

    Happy? :huh:

    That's good to know. I have great cholesterol and have been a carb loader and good cholesterol runs in the family. So when I've recently upped my protein intake my cholesterol intake is of course off the charts. I was concerned my own might go up.

    I'm pretty sure that at no time in the history of ever has anyone been addicted in any way to any of those so-called "excellent protein sources".
