Eating too much protein could cause dehydration and nutrient imbalances, she says. She recommends a minimum of 54 grams of protein for an 150-pound adult. That much protein would correspond to about two eggs, one cup of Greek yogurt and a serving of salmon, she says [quote)
Where is the evidence for that?
It's just a scare tactic.I've never heard Dr Westmann speak about dehydration.
Her recommendation for amount of daily animal based protein is low.

Urea is the main by-product of protein metabolism, and it does require more water to help flush it out of the bloodstream via the kidneys into the urine. The solution is not to eat less protein, but to simply drink more water. FWIW, too little protein in the diet can lead to fluid retention! |
