[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sigh. Why didn't you get medical advice on your diet before you gave in to stupid trends?

Your protein intake is way too high. Obviously it's going to mess with your creatinine, and if it's high in animal fat, with your cholesterol. Just a few minutes of research could have told you this.

You need 46gr of protein for your weight.

Don't do it again.

Well the higher protein diet was my doctor’s idea, who referred me to a dietician. I had bloodwork at 6 months and all was normal. My doctor commended my progress and approved the plan. Now six months later on the same program its a different story. [/quote]

What is your doctor suggesting now?[/quote]

A “heart healthy diet” including lean proteins, fiber, and vegetables. Limit dairy. I do all that. I don’t eat red meat or dairy, don’t drink or smoke. She did not tell me to cut back on the amount of protein because I’m 55 and trying to build muscle to preserve bone density. As I said, I’m questioning this guidance.[/quote]

How were you getting all that protein?

Just eat a normal amount of protein, no supplements or processed sources like bars or shakes. [/quote]
