There is far more risk to your health from high protein diet than from low protein diet. - Proteins have a high amount of nitrogen. When nitrogen is broken down in the liver it creates ammonia. Ammonia is poisonous. The increased level of ammonia in the body is harmful to cells and may decrease atheletic performance.
- Stress on kidneys occurs when more than 2 grams per kilogram of ideal body weight per day is consumed.
- High levels of protein intake require increased amount of vitamin B6. It is possible to become deficient in vitamin B6 while using a high protein diet.
- Calcium loss, which leads to osteoporosis, occurs with high levels of protein intake
