Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the

journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights. Now, this is an important video to make sure you're not consuming too much protein.

So I want to tell you the top sign to know that you're consuming too much protein.

And the number one symptom is gastrointestinal malaise.

Now, what is this gastrointestinal malaise? Well, it's a general discomfort

and uneasiness in your digestive system. Like you just feel something's not right. Number two,

dysphoria. There's some alteration in how you feel. Dis four yet is a state of generalized unhappiness,

number three, lethargy. This is lack of energy, sluggishness, and just a lack of enthusiasm.

is you might start getting increased bun, blood, urea, nitrogen. And so you're going to get a lot of

protein waste. And you may see your urine being a bit foamy and having a very kind of a weird odor.

But here's the thing. The skeletal muscle protein synthesis,

which is your dietary protein turning into muscle protein and repair, occurs when you're

consuming protein, you know, up to about 25 grams per meal. But as you start to go over this

number, you get less and less protein synthesis. And you're

going to get more and more oxidation where that protein is going to be burned as fuel because it's

going to turn into sugar. So if you were to double that number, let's say you're consuming 50

grams of protein per meal, half of that protein is not going to be used for synthesis,
