Protein Overdose

[KoKaTa]

Hello everyone...i have a question for u..i recently went to the doctor, for a general check up, and when asked if i have any sort of special diet i told the doctor, yes, im on a high protein diet. I specified that i take 1 gram of protein per pound, more specifically 100 grams of protein from shakes during the day, and another 100 grams of protein from food (200 grams, cuz i am 200 pounds). what he told me is that this is way too high, and that i might get kidney stones...he suggested that i cut that in half...but how am i gonna grow with this little protein in my diet??

What do u guys think?!? is it possible to hurt urself with protein?

Not if your kidneys are functioning normal. I actually partook in and made a small study with different powdered protein sources and different amounts when I was studying nutrition some years ago, I never finished the article but the results where little or no protein in the urine, and there was no difference between proteinsources or amount. This was a study for school with one test-person, me who was training hard at the time. So its not a good enough source. But its worth mentioning.

A doctor told my Nephew and my brother the same thing now my brother won't allow my nepehw around any protein and he is a hockey player who in my opinion needs more protein because he is tall but scrawny, kind of a bummer a doctor might of fukt that up on him.

literally the only thing that gets a protein overdose is my toilet..all the protein you don't use gets excreted.

So many Dr.s will tell you that crap. There have been countless studies done on it and they all prove that this is a fallacy IF YOUR KIDNESY ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL TO BEGIN WITH! But if you have kidney issues prior to doing high protien then you may well have some of those issues.
Your Dr needs to get with the times as he is living in the past.

Hes probably going by the USRDA which is WAY off.

I have in the past used protein in the urine from high protein inntake to get diagnosed with different things to get a break from work, usually urine tract infections. I achieve this by drinking a lot of prot shakes the day before i go for urine test. So it is definately something to it, if you drink too much protein shakes, they may end up in your urine.

A lot of producers state that protein shakes is a supplement. The best way to ensure maximum uptake of your prot shake is to drink them together with example a slice of bread. It will soak up the liquid and prevent dhiarea etc.

Also on a side note, if you use creatine monohydrate, make sure you mix it out in hot water, or you can also get irritated intestants and dhiarea.

End of the line is that if you eat too much protein, instead of storing it as fat, the body will just push it out into the toilet, one way or another.

Thank you so much for the input!

with healthy kidneys and plenty of water, you need not worry. And lol @ 1 gram per pound being high. Tell him you're on 2.5 grams per pound and see what the fucker says!


also, go to DrugsProfiles.com | Home and read up on drugs to help your body use protein more efficiently and effectively.

i mean i have heard of people doing that, 2.5 for every pound, and the do it for years, no negative results really...i dont know..TOO CONFUSED!

Haha, that's what I posted in another thread he started - didn't realize they were both the same thread. Here was my response:

Of course he told you that - he's a moron. There is no such thing as bodybuilding pharmacology and nutrition 101 in medical school. They are educated, extensively, to treat stubborn 70+ year olds who are hopelessly attempting to undo a life of bad habits and nutritional patterns (usually with a cornucopia of medications - but we can't use anabolics, because that would be naughty, right?)

The point is, their laughable hysteria is baseless and senseless in every conceivable way. They use scare tactics, catch phrases, and grow more complacent in their condition of ignorance all the while, simply dismissing the possibility that ANYTHING exists outside of their classroom derived knowledge set.

I could easily offer a multitude of example and anecdotal evidence resembling a dissertation on this subject alone, but please suffice it to say that a medical doctor advocating nutritional requirements necessitated by trained dedicated athletes is akin to allowing Michal Moore to be in charge of security at a buffet line.

Just for the sake of discussion though...why would someone want to use 2.5 g/ lb? Isn't the standard more in the 1 g/ lb of lbm?? depending on your goals and bodytype, on/ off cycle etc?

I agree with the doctor fail part...doctors and bodybuilding don't generally mix well.

 

[stevesmi]

most doctors 99% of them have zero knowledge of healthy diet and exercise to begin with. the ones that are actual bodybuilders I listen closely to, the ones who have guts I ignore.

minimum 2 grams per pound of bodyweight to bulk (what I'm saying here applies to bodybuilders), because the base protein turnover rate is 1.818. On cycle, it should be 2-3 for best results.

 

[raymele]

Just have to look at most Doctors and compare yourself. Most of them have fat belly's and eat to much of junk food....lol

 

[RADAR]

I agree with all that was said plus you need a gallon of water every day in your diet to flush the kidneys!

Yes^!

It's hard for me not to pull what hair I have left out, every time I hear what a 'doctor' said... ugh, what shame that they can't seem to fit in a few classes on AAS or varying nutritional needs of trained athlete during their SIX YEARS in college!?
