BEWARE! 

Proteins are essential for energy, cell maintenance, and overall health, but excessive protein intake can be detrimental. Balancing protein consumption is crucial for maintaining well-being.

Here are some symptoms of excessive protein intake:

High protein consumption increases the body's need for water, raising the risk of dehydration.

Excess protein that isn't burned off can turn into fat, leading to weight gain.

A low-carb, high-protein diet can cause ketosis, resulting in fruity or nail polish-like breath due to ketone production.

High-protein, low-fiber diets can lead to constipation; consuming more water and fiber can alleviate this.

Excessive dairy or processed meats may cause diarrhea; a balanced diet and adequate water intake can help.

High-protein diets are generally safe for healthy individuals but can exacerbate kidney issues in those with pre-existing conditions.
