Is It Healthy To Consume More Protein And Fat HELP

[heatherhitz]

I eat alot of Protein & Fat... I know im to consume a precentage amount for carbs, protein, & fat... If I kept it at my level of 20 Carbs gram a day but I ate more Protein & Fat... More then the precentage requires for Fat & Preotein. Is this ok?

I really didnt want to say anything about this cuz its gross but I had to find out... I been farting alot today & they smell worse then anything... Im wondering what it is? Maybe my body isnt used to Atkins. I dont know but itz embarressing especially when my family is around and the complain about it... OMG!!!

I added my protein intake for the day & had over 150gm, Is this bad? Could this be the cause?

Olive isn't a vegetable ... it's a special category food.

It seems that you didn't have enough vegetables today.

Oh!!! Really!!! But I seen that I could eat Olive for fat...
Ur right know that I looked at my journal I seen that I didnt eat that much Vegi, My bad!!! So U dont think with me consuming all that Protein had anything to do with it & me consuming that much is it ok on atkins?

Yes, there's fat in an olive, but you gave it as an answer when I asked you what vegetables you had eaten.

>>I seen that I didnt eat that much Vegi, My bad>>

Yes, it's not a good thing.

I think you'll find it really helpful to read the book. Have you read these links:

Had anything to do with what?

I suspect that 150 grams of protein is a bit much ... but generally it's not an issue when first beginning Atkins.

However, if you were eating the right amounts of vegetables, you wouldn't be eating so much protein I bet.

I have read the book from cover to cover 3 times to understand this diet. From what I know. ketosis and lypolysis will usually be achieved if under 20 grams carbs. Protein will help you achieve this, and fats are even better. Start out with a good balance of both in your diet.

Gastro-intestinal issues are not uncommon in the early stages of Atkins. Some people have no issues while others experience any or all of the following: diarrhea, constipation, indigestion and gas. Protein could be the culprit, but so could an unknown food allergy, a yeast infection, or another food item eaten in excess (i.e. nuts, eggs, onions, etc). Your condition should most likely pass in a week or so. If it doesn't you should begin keeping track of what you eat (if you aren't already) to see which day's menu causes the worst offense, and then attempt to determine the specific item(s) that are the culprit.
