Question 1

is eating too many protein bars affect body weight?

Accepted Answer

Of course: Those protein bars aren't calorie free. Take a look at the packaging and see how many calories you consume each time you eat one. Some may contain as much as a full sized candy bar, just with more protein. So, as in everything, moderation is the key. Good luck.

Question 2

i'm trying to lose body fat in less than 1 month without eating just vegetables and fruit but other foods that have protein ?

Accepted Answer

: Any healthy weight loss program limits weight loss to no more that 2-3 pounds per week. More than this and you run the risk of causing hormonal fluctuations that will actually make you more hungry, and activate compensatory mechanisms that will actually prevent weight loss. Slow and steady, using increased exercise to build muscle and eating healthy foods is the way to do it.

Question 3

i am a boxer & have trouble losing body fat, will i get lean by eating 1.5g of protein per pound of body weight & about 150g of carbs per day?

Accepted Answer

Avoiding Carbs Key: From your statement, you are consuming far too many carbs. Reduce to less than 20-50g carbs total/day. Study my answer to question: https://www.Healthtap.Com/#user_questions/799030.

Question 4

why do pimples apear on ones back from eating lots of protein? why is 2g per 1kg of body weight recommended for optimal muscle gains in bodybuilding?

Accepted Answer

Possibly dairy: Muscles are mainly protein, so high-protein diets are often recommended when trying to gain muscle mass.  It has been shown that milk intake is strongly correlated with acne.  Whey protein is a milk derivative, so bodybuilders are getting lots of milk protein. This, plus the sweating from exercise and possibly hormones related to muscle-building may all contribute to acne flares.

Question 5

what will eating a low calorie, high protein diet do to the body?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the exten: of the change from an average diet. 
normally we need about 10x weight in pounds to maintain weight. 10-20% below that, you'll lose weight. If you don't do muscle stimulation (weight lifting) it will be mainly loss of muscle. 50% less than required calories could cause metabolic serious problems. Protein causes a bit more kidney work. W. normal kidneys, doesn't matter.

Question 6

do eating foods you are allergic to keep your body from absorbing dietary protein? i am allergic to beans and soy, but am trying to be a vegetarian. if i eat foods i am allergic to, do i get protein from them, or does my allergy prevent absorption?

Accepted Answer

It : It depends on what kind of allergic reactions you have to beans and soy.

The absorption of protein from foods may be affected by the allergic reactions that happen in the stomach and intestines depending on the severity of the allergic reactions. For a more severe reaction, the stomach and intestines are inflamed and are unable to digest and absorb the protein.

The common symptoms of food allergies to beans and soy are bloated stomach, cramp, gas and loose stool.

If your allergies to beans and soy do not involve stomach and intestines, then there will be no issue with protein absorption.

Question 7

is unprocessed red meat unhealthy for my body i mean should i stop eating red meat and just base my protein intake on chicken and fish ?

Accepted Answer

: I find the occasional suggestion that red meat is bad  a myth. What you imply by unprocessed is not clear. Properly prepared red meat is a valuable protein source  used by many cultures worldwide.

Question 8

what happens if your body gets too much protein?

Accepted Answer

Over time: If it is a lot it can damage kidneys . If your kidneys are normal to start with a high protein diet for a short while is probably ok.

Question 9

what happens when your body uses protein instead of fat?

Accepted Answer

If you are referring: To catabolizing your own protein (muscle) - it will cause you to lose muscle mass. The more muscle mass you lose - the lower your metabolic rate drops.

Question 10

could you tell me what happens with excessive protein in the body?

Accepted Answer

Depends!: If on a low carb diet, burned as fuel to produce glucose by the liver, and used as building blocks for your bodies protein, isnce it is broken down to essential amino acids. If on a normal diet, there are 4 kcal per gram of protein.  And it will count toward your total caloric intake and cause weight gain, if it exceeds the calories spent by basal metabolism and your activity.
