Today’s CHEATCODE: Fasting Mistake—Eating Too Much Protein
Proteins should be around 25% of the calories that we consume daily.
A better way of thinking about this is to try to hit around 0.6 to 0.8 gram of protein for every pound of lean body mass you have.
The problem with eating too much protein is our bodies can convert this excess protein into glucose. This glucose conversion becomes the same problem as consuming too many carbs in our diet.
Another mistake with this protein intake is consuming too much of it in one meal.
Protein is needed on any diet. Aim for mostly plant-based protein and lean sources of meat from chicken and seafood.
There are more health problems associated with getting too much protein then there are with not getting enough. Don’t stall your weight loss!
