On proteins, there certainly can be an upper limit for some people as high protein can and does cause kidney damage to them.
Research states... Only if there is kidney disease already.On proteins, there certainly can be an upper limit for some people as high protein can and does cause kidney damage to them.

I understand.
Remind me again. What's Atkins diet in camparison to lchf diet?I edited the Wiki page on Atkins to include a single sentence on the use of it to control diabetes - it was removed within an hour.
Report him to his Boss or ask him to prove his nonsense. He’s out of control and most likely has s very big head. idiot.Hello - help required if anyone is up for joining in an argument.
I seem to have stumbled into a squabble with a personal fitness trainer at my local sports club. He is using the club's social media account to promote his weight lifting classes, but also his views on diets which make some fairly bold public claims. These claims include:
- low carb and low sugar are "fad" diets
- those "fad" diets won't last
- strength testing is more important to weight loss than reducing carbs
- weight lifting is 25% of any diet
- there is no such thing as "bad for you" foods
- sugar is not inherently fattening
- weight loss is only achieved through calorie control, sugar reduction is only an indirect cause.
- there is no upper limit on protein intake resulting in detrimental impact
He's got a bit upset with me because I've told him his advice is factually incorrect, and in parts dangerous (getting an overweight or obese person to take up weight lifting before getting some dietary control increases the risk of heart problems). It is also pretty unpleasant to say to people who are trying low carb and may be low on confidence or insecure that their diet is a fad and won't last. He's demanded evidence that he wrong - I've pointed at some, and he just scoffs. It winds me up that he's using a public platform and a health banner to say things that are self serving but flawed.
Anyway the more evidence I can throw in his direction, the better. Any thoughts? (or should I just ignore it and get on with my life?)
Time will be the ultimate judge, when I suggested low carb around 2000 I was generally laughed at or told it was rubbish inspite of having just completed a degree in science and having diabetes. Now it's pretty much mainstream.Why? Because medical doctors, specialists and consultants are seeing results. In addition with technological advances it has been possible to reveal cause and effect and the huge diversity of blood sugar profiles that exist in diabetes. It's a bit like when at first it was believed the world was flat.Hello - help required if anyone is up for joining in an argument.

I have never been to a gym but have often wondered if some of the weight lifting fraternity are more concerned with aesthetics than they are about health. I suppose for PTs it is a matter of responsibility, one should only give dietary advice if on firm ground when it comes to being in a position of trust.
Here's my list.
Weight loss is 90% dependant on diet.
