Pay Attention 10 Signs You’re Eating Too Much Meat

With so much media attention on the obesity epidemic that is prevalent in the world today, people are frantically trying to lose weight. Although a high protein diet might work, it has some side effects that can be mighty uncomfortable.

 

The most common diet today that uses low-carbs and high-protein intake is the Atkins diet

If you’re experiencing some discomfort on a high protein-diet, check out the 10 symptoms below to see if you might be eating too much meat.

• With the lack of carbohydrates, your body starts to burn its own fat reserves, producing ketones.
• As a result, MedicineNet states that your body experiences a “loss of water through the kidneys,” resulting in dehydration.
• Although this could prove to be temporary, the Mayo Clinic say to expect to see some fatigue as you cut carbs.
• MedicineNet also points out that a high-protein diet can also create fatigue.
• MedicineNet lists dizziness as another sign of consuming too much meat in your diet.
• The Mayo Clinic lists headaches as a possible short-term side effect of reducing carbs while MedicineNet includes them as an effect for too much meat.
• Also included in MedicineNet’s list of symptoms for too much protein, be on the lookout for heart palpitations.

 

• A high-protein diet causes the body to excrete excess calcium through the kidneys, according to Physicians Committee, and create kidney stones.
• The Mayo Clinic states that muscle weakness may be noticed as a result of a high-protein, low-carb diet.
• Another possible side effect of a too much meat is constipation according to the Mayo Clinic.
• On the flip side, diarrhea may be what hits instead. WebMD states that the chemicals your body produces to burn fat create bad breath.
• According to Berkeley Wellness, the key to eating healthy is “to eat mostly foods derived from plants vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes (beans, peas, lentils) – and limit highly processed foods.”
• By eating a balanced diet, you can avoid the uncomfortable side effects above and feel good about what you eat too!
