WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU OVER CONSUME PROTEIN ?

Protein is an essential nutrient your body needs to build and repair muscle, organs, cells and other types of tissue.

The recommended dietary allowance for protein is 46 grams per day for women and 56 grams per day for men.

This may change depending on if you are reducing your carbs intake and your workout routine. 

However if your surpass your personal need of protein you will end up having some bad side effects. Bellow I will be talking about some of them.

1.Losing calcium

Consuming High level of protein will make your body excrete more calcium in your urine. To counter this side effect you should increase your calcium intake. Otherwise you will end up having some serious health issues like osteoporosis.

2.Gaining weight

When you consume more protein than your body needs, the excess protein is used to provide your body with energy or turned into fat. It is not possible to store amino acids or protein for later use, consuming more calories to increase your protein absorptionwill make you gain weight and not necessarily muscles. 

3. Dehydration

The process of breaking down protein and getting rid of its waste requires more water. So if you don't take more water to rebalance your body fluid you will end up noticing some dehydration side effects like the look of your skin and hair and general feeling of tiredness. 

4. Kidneys problems

People with kidney problems are advised to talk to their physician before increasing their protein intake. 

I personally take proteins from supplements only on working out days. In the past I did have that issue of having some stored fat from overpassing my protein intakes. I fixed that in about two weeks. I switched to high intensity training, with two workouts outdoors using weight vest training. You may find some in your local fitness stores or over Ebay like this one. "click on it"

When I got rid of the extra stored fat, I went back to a workout routine and kept watching my protein intake
