What would've happened if i'd only proteins for lets say 3 months? what medical exams should i take afterwards?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Is that possible?: To eat only protein for 3 months? You'd develop all sorts of nutritional deficiencies of various vitamins and minerals, you'd become ketotic, and you'd get very sick. Scurvy, pellagra, beri beri, etc, etc, etc. You'd need an exam to explore your reasons for doing such a thing in addition to several tests of your nutritional reserves.
