High protein diets are growing in popularity. Is it worth the money or the risk?
Did you know that your body can only metabolize (make use of) a very small amount of protein (made of amino acids) at a time? Yes, that means that the majority of that bar or shake that you just consumed literally just gets flushed down the toilet.
And none of this stuff is cheap either. The other major thing to realize with powders and bars is that they are not endorsed or supported by the FDA.
That means you really don’t know if what is on the label, is really in the package.
And there are more side effects. For all you people out there who are active and enjoy an active lifestyle, if you follow a calorie-reduced diet to lose weight because you just aren’t happy with your amount of weight lost, you may experience some harsh side-effects.
The thing is, you can lose weight and still maintain a healthy state of being. Losing weight and improving your health is supposed to help the above conditions, but only if it is done properly. Every single one of my clients DOESN’T experience these conditions, because they follow the proper nutrition plan and fitness program that I set them up on. Once your diet is optimized, your body’s health will follow. The waitlist for my studio is living proof that this stuff works!
High Protein Health Concerns?
When you consume high amounts of protein, you put an incredible strain on your kidneys. Your kidneys require a lake’s worth of water to process and filter all the by-products from a high protein diet. Bottom line? Kidney dialysis machines are not cheap, and I’m sure you don’t want to haul one of those around you for the rest of your life. Be smart with your body.
Do you have a sensitive stomach like I do? I can guarantee that the majority of these products will give you gas like you’ve never had before. Now that’s attractive!
