[QUOTE="brainnotyetdead, post: 2045312, member: 506000"] Hello everyone. I've recently gone low carb, and it's working really well so far. My sugars have more than halved. I am however a little confused with regards to how much, or little, Protein I should be including. I'd like some clarification really on whether anyone has had some advice, or been told that too much Protein can actually increase your blood sugars, and that if your urine is foamy, it usually indicates that your kidneys are stressed and therefore, what action should you take? Here's a summary of some of the recommendations I've come across: [LIST] [*]You will have to calculate between .36 grams - .7 grams of protein multiplied by your body weight to get how much protein you need to eat a day. [*]126g of Protein per day is likely to cause stress on the liver and the kidney. [*]1g of Protein per pound is wrong. [*]Protein intake of more than 1.6g per kg of bodyweight does not benefit the body. [*]73g - 82g of protein per day is "right" - no matter your bodyweight [/LIST] [SIZE=14px][FONT=Roboto][COLOR=rgb(10, 10, 10)][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
