In this podcast, Dr. Berg talks about the 5 symptoms of eating too much protein.

1. Foamy Urine – A situation where protein is spilling off into the urine.

2. Gout

3. Decreased Appetite

4. Fluid Retention or Edema

5. Fatigue

If you are in one-meal-a-day fasting and you are consuming too much protein, the body has so much repair going on that it is okay to consume that protein amount without getting a problem to the kidney or liver because of the benefits of fasting. But it is good to consume a moderate amount of protein between 3 to 8 ounces per meal depending on your age, digestive system and how big you are.

0:29.0	Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. All right, so today we're going to discuss the five symptoms or ways of
0:48.0	knowing you're consuming too much protein, okay? Number one, foamy urine, okay? This is a situation where you have
0:56.4	protein spilling off into the urine. Normally you don't have a lot of protein in the urine. You shouldn't have anything, maybe just a very small amount.
1:06.0	So if there's protein in the urine, it could become foamy.
1:10.0	Now, if you have protein in the urine, potentially it could be liver disease, but it could also mean
1:16.8	you're just consuming too much protein. Cut it back and see if it goes away.
1:21.1	Because your kidneys actually filter
1:23.7	about 180 liters of fluid every single day.
1:28.3	I mean, think about it.

1:47.2	kidneys, overload the liver, and it can spill off into the urine. Number two, gout. Now usually gout is a liver or kidney problem, okay, but if you're adding more protein to it,
2:00.3	you can get an incomplete protein breakdown and generate too much uric acid and create these gout crystals.
2:08.0	Number three, decrease appetite.
2:11.0	Okay, that could be one of the symptoms.
2:13.2	Number four, fluid retention or edema.
2:16.7	You may see a little swelling or even in your ankle,
