Overeating: Overeating in any form with any type of food, whether fat, carb, or protein is abnormal and unhealthy. The excess protein you have consumed will be metabolized and that not needed for physiologic repair will be excreted in urine with some turned to sugar or fat. Many americans on high protein diets unknowingly are damaging their kidneys.
