Week 4 Discussion - Eating 2x Protein Needs The textbook discusses protein metabolism, and provides recommendations from daily protein consumption. In recent years, several diets (Carnivore, Ketogenic, etc) advocate for high protein consumption. Many who follow these diets claim extreme health benefits (Improved body composition, increased energy, mental clarity, etc) from following these protocols. With this information in mind, answer/discuss the following questions in your discussion post: 1. If an individual consumes twice as much protein as their body needs, what happens to the extra protein? 2. What, if any, health risks may be associated with very high protein consumption? 3. Finally, discuss the recommendations that you would give to a friend or family member who wishes to try one of these high protein diets. 4. Explain why you would give those recommendations.
