taking protein --> Anonymous
So I just came back from the doctor and the bitch told me its not good for me to take protein, she said it'll damage me in 20/30 years, so my question to /fit/ is this bitch bullshitting me or should i just keep taking it?

I'll need to eat a lot of food to get that 59 gram of protein in and I'm trying to cut before starting to bulk

not bullshiting
too much protein (200+ g/day) damages your kidneys

After some time of this diet you'll have kidney failure

She is partially correct, but not completely. Your body can only metabolize about 50g/protein per hour, and you should try to never eat more than 1g/protein per pound of your body weight per day. If you are working out heavily, maintaining 150g of protein per day, and breaking that into 50g/hour chunks, you will have no adverse effects. If you take 300g of protein per day, you will be unable to metabolize that much protein and it will be processed by your kidneys and passed. Honestly though, you're worse off eating lots of pickles and alcohol though :P

not proven.

There are control strips available for testing your piss on excessive protein if you are concerned.

well let's think logicaly

your liver fails when you drink too much alcohol - thats where alcohol gets metabolized (donno if thats a correct word)
Just the same way your kidneys fail if you eat too much protein.

well, acohol is a pure poison that serves no purpose, while protein is absolutely necessary.

alcohol is burned by the body as energy. it produces 7/4 the amount of energy by weight as compared with glucose.

Yes, alcohol has calories, but it still is a poison, you liver and kidneys have to break it down. Getting drunk = 10k nerve cells gone.
Of course with every poison, the ammount you consume makes the difference between healthy and dangerous.

yeah this whole protein is bad for you is a myth.

you doctor hasn't put into account eh fact that you are breaking down your muscle regularly and using that protein to heal them. you should also be drinking much more water than average to help your kidneys

i didn't say protein is bad
TOO MUCH protein is bad
Meat only diet is bad
Also pork is bad for your liver (too much fat in it)

All GPs are good for is diagnosing shit you already have and sending you to people who will try to fix it.

As long as you don't go over 2g/kilo or get over 35% of your daily calories from protein, you should be fine.

GPS/family doctors know fuck all other than how to diagnose an already existing problem and prescribe drugs for it.

Talk to a dietitian at least.
