Answer 2

We hate to have to be the protein police, but there are several things you should know before you have an omelet for breakfast, a chicken sandwich for lunch, and a steak for dinner. First, when you consume more protein than you need, as the average American does, you crowd out your metabolism-revving carbohydrates, so your body starts the arduous, metabolism-inefficient task of using protein for fuel. But more than anything, a diet that is too high in protein makes you tired. Protein takes a long time to digest (about four to six hours versus one half to four hours to digest and burn up carbohydrates). Although protein's slower digestion rate can be a good thing (it promotes satiety when you combine the right amounts of the best carbohydrates with the appropriate portions of the best proteins), it can also be a negative thing when you overdo it because a large portion of blood leaves the brain and muscles and stays in your stomach (and intestine) for a long period of time for digestion. This means that there is less blood available to supply the muscles and brain with oxygen, causing sluggishness and decreased energy. In addition, too much protein in the diet can lead to high cholesterol (many foods that are high in protein are also high in the artery-clogging saturated fat and/or cholesterol) or calcium loss from the bone, promoting osteoporosis or other diseases, such as gout. High-protein diets may also put a strain on your kidneys and liver, as these two organs are responsible for breaking down protein and then excreting the excess nitrogen that is created from the protein. How Can I Get the Right Amount of Protein? Follow our guidelines to get the right mix of protein and carbohydrates so that you will be like our clients who have fired up their metabolism. Your daily grain servings (as determined in Chapter 3) equal your daily protein servings. Also refer to the "thumbs-up" and "thumbs-down" protein lists on pages 33 to 37 to see which list your favorite proteins are on and what constitutes a serving. You can be sure that you're getting just the right amount of protein to fire up your metabolism by matching the number of your daily grain servings to your daily protein servings. For example, if you are allowed six grain servings daily, you are allowed six protein servings. (This should make it easier for you to remember how many servings you need.) Just be careful how you count them: Add up only your grain carbohydrates, not vegetables and fruits, when you are matching your protein servings. Remember, you can eat vegetables in unlimited quantities (just be sure to get a minimum of 4 ½ servings). And you can find how many servings of fruit you need on pages 73 to 74. To ensure that you boost your metabolism to your utmost ability, you will never eat a grain by itself, even for a snack. Instead, you will couple it with a protein that you have chosen from the protein list on pages 33 to 35 (or with a fat, which we discuss in the next chapter). It is okay to eat a vegetable or a fruit by itself for a snack. Just make sure that you will be eating a larger meal within one to two hours, as the fruit or vegetable will neither satiate you nor provide you with energy for very long. When you choose a protein, you will then use the Rule of Hand (see page 92) to apply the correct protein portion size to the carbohydrate serving you eat. Ideally, if you eat two servings of carbohydrates at one sitting, you also should aim to eat two servings of protein from the protein list. However, this is not always possible, so just remember to stick to your total daily servings of each grain and protein.

You spaz out from having too much energy! :)

Answer 4

If more than 30% of your intake of food consists of protein, it would cause an increase in ketones. Your kidneys will try to flush it out of your system and make you dehydrated.
