What would happen if you ate only protein?

brad pitt ate only egg whites and tuna while preparing for his role in fight club, and he ended up in the hospital.

I went no carbs all last week. Now I've been sick all this week. I don't know if the two have anything to do with each other or if it is just coincidence but I don't think I'll be doing it again.

Okay thanks everyone..

My sis in law has this notion that she'll do a CKD.. minus the fat. So, just protein apparantly..

I'm trying to properly explain to her why that's a bad idea.

lol...isn't the whole point of a CKD to get a lot of fat? You can tell her the CKD won't even work because 58% of the protein will be deanimated.

Fat is only added to a CKD to help with cals to avoid metabolic slowdown. When you eliminate the fat you repalce taht with bodyfat (hopefully..depends on person P ratio and such) which is the principal behind the PSMF. The problem is, all sorts of health dangerous accompany it and metabolic slowdown happens QUICK, 48-72 hours until your metabolism slows to a crawl.

Human beings are omnivores (= eating prot, fat and carbs) since.... well, a couple of time

There must be a reason...

Seeing as the body can convert protien to glucose for energy, I don't really think its pheasable that you would die.

It is unhealthy nonetheless.
