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

You know, it really starts to feel to me that traditionally-trained-and-practicing dieticians want it both ways: they want us to smarten up  , pay attention, educate ourselves... but they also think we're too stupid to do so. "Nutrient imbalance?" LOL. "Dehydration?" LOL. What ridiculous amount of protein - and little else - would you have to eat without stopping before you vomit, that results in dehydration? It strikes me as a straw man argument for her to present that type of situation. It just doesn't generally happen IRL, perhaps except for a very rare few.

Amen - especially considering that half the crap food they want us to consume, it's fortified artificially, anyway. Thanks, but I'll pass on the cereal and bread, and just take whatever vitamin/mineral supplements that I see fit. What's the difference between them adding the vitamins, and me choosing my own? |
