Disadvantage Of High Protein Diet
Several people are crazy about diets as they make you lose weight faster than exercise. Also it is a common notion that high protein food makes on lose weight faster. Proteins are required for the body so that it remains healthy and also it is required by the brain. However excessive protein can be harmful for the body. |
Several diets like Atkins, South Beach, meat Mania and Preinopia suggest that eating high protein diet will develop only muscles and thousands of people follow it. The body metabolizes fat for energy and that is why we lose weight when we exercise. The body will be burning fat when we work out. Protein makes the body work harder and burn out more fat.
However, what most people are unaware of is that eating excessive protein leads to a condition called ketosis. It is a condition where the liver starts converting the fat into fatty acids and releases ketones. The ketones elevate the acid levels in the blood, and it starts appearing in urine. Under extreme conditions the body goes into gluconeogenesis that is it starts producing glucose from other food sources like proteins. This could also lead to kidney damage, because high protein would be putting a lot of stress on the kidneys to digest the food.
Proteins are quite difficult to digest and they can also cause kidney stones because along with protein there will also be high content of minerals. The left over will form into a stone in the kidneys eventually.
