Is too much protein bad for you?

Question

Want to grow my hair quicker and I heard that hair is made of protein and to keep it healthy and growing quicker than normal, you need to eat alot of protein enriched foods. would it be bad for me if i had in a day, fish, milk, cheese and eggs but more than daily requirements? what would happen?

Answer 1

Well.. too much protien basically causes prostate or kidney stones.. its really bad especially if u dont drink enough water at the same time..

Answer 2

How about a proteing conditioner once a week instead? Too much protein is bad for you. You need carbohydrates for energy. Typically, the body breaks down carbs, and then proteins... that's why people lose so much weight on Atkins. Without carbs, your body is going right to metabolizing proteins. This makes the heart work so much harder. Also..... You are doing this for you hair? Well... when you start eating carbs again, your whole metabolism is going to be different, and you are going to gain weight. Eat a balanced diet, take vitamins, and use a protein based conditioner once a week. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

The atkins diet is all about eating lots of protien, instead of carbohydrate.

It makes you smell funny, apparently, so it's probably not a good thing to eat too much of the stuff.

But I expect you can increase the amount you eat by a bit without worrying too much about it.
Tuna fish is a good source. As is chicken, and presumably turkey.

Answer 4

Too much protien can cause kidney problems, speak to a dietician. Look after yourself. Luv J x

Try Biotin - it is supposed to be good for hair growth, instead of loads of protein! Good luck!
