A member asked:
Can eating too much protein cause dehydration?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet: Eating too much protein does not cause dehydration per se, however, high protein load can put extra stress on the kidneys and it is important to make sure the person is well hydrated all the time. So drinking plenty of water is important when you are on a high protein diet
