#1: Protein Helps With Fat Loss
Most people on keto will limit their protein to 30-40 grams, restrict their net carbs to 10-20 grams, then eat an excessive amount of fat. This is a common mistake. If your goal is to lose fat, increased protein consumption is a great way to approach your keto diet plan.
Subsequently, what happens when you eat too much protein on keto?
Thus, if you consume excess protein, your body will use those amino acids to produce glucose before starting to break down fat into ketones. The result: You get stuck in sugar-burning mode and can’t shift into ketosis.
In this regard, is 100 grams of protein too much on keto? If possible stay between 1.2-2.0 grams of protein per day, per kg of body weight (about 0.7 grams per pound). So about 85-140 grams of protein per day if you weigh 70 kilos (154 pounds). The most common mistake that stops people from reaching ketosis is not too much protein. It is too many carbs.
Beside this, what are the symptoms of too much protein?
Most research indicates that eating more than 2 g per kg of body weight daily of protein for a long time can cause health problems.
