Signs of Low Protein?? Rather than getting too much protein, it's likely you are not getting enough. This video will explain 10 signs of protein deficiency and also give you bonus content about the best sources of protein, and how much protein I recommend you eat each day.
Some of the 10 signs I talk about in this video you would never link to protein deficiency, but there is a strong link. Watch, learn and Share so we can all enjoy optimal protein intake and optimal health. The usual tests your doctor would order to check for protein deficiency (total protein, albumin, globulin) are in reality not very good at all for detecting protein deficiency...

When I first started low carb /keto I was scared off protein because of gluconeogenesis. So I limited myself to under 50 grams a day. It was fine for a few months and then I started to hurt. I mean really really hurt. The muscles in my thighs and hips were like steel cables and it was an agony. I couldn't sit because it hurt. Driving to work was a nightmare and once I got there I hobbled in because I could not straighten my hips. I also went through bouts of horrible horrible hunger and nothing I did would make it go away. And then one day I caved. My husband and I went to a steak house for dinner one night and I ate an entire 12oz ribeye and small salad. After we got home I ate the left over steak my husband had brought home. The next day the state of my muscles wasn't so bad and my hunger was much less than it had been for a while. Now it took a few more times of this happening before I put 2 and 2 together. And I went through it again when I started doing OMAD without good planning and went significantly low on protein (30g a day approx) for about a month. All the pain started coming back again. After learning my lesson, I now eat protein until I am satisfied. No tight muscles, no pain.

@@johnsonpaul1914 I found my blood sugar levels very stable during keto. My liver managed the gluconeogenesis very well. I used protein shakes as supplement after workout at that time. So there were definitely times when my system had enough protein. Didn't negatively influence my blood sugar. Not sure what regulates the amount of your gluconeogenesis, maybe you had other imbalances? I think it also has a lot to do with workout and meal timing. If your body needs the protein there isn't so much for your liver to change into glucose. If your body doesn't need the protein it probably uses it mainly for fuel.

Dr. Berry, I had a theory that those that are obese or overweight are actually malnourished. I didn't think they ate enough protein. But this theory has already been proposed: The Protein Leverage Hypothesis. Since protein is satiating, obese people overeat because they aren't satiated or because they are hungry and overeat to get enough protein. So in my opinion, you left out another symptom of protein deficiency: obesity. Yes obese people should probably eat more. Eat more protein.

Dr Berry, after 10 yrs on blood pressure meds, while being quite active, my BP didn't move and my weight slowly crept up. Last year, a progressive GP who I had visited previously was available for a consult after my previous GP had moved on. As he'd seen me previously, he could see the (not good) changes. He asked if I was willing to make some changes, and he was pretty sure we could drop the BP (and therefore the meds), drop the weight and get my pre-diabetic markers down and get me healthier in general. Fast forward six months and through adherence to the keto diet and returning to some better lifestyle practices, I dropped 17kg, dropped my BP and meds and no longer need my CPAP machine. Fast forward a further 12 months and I've kept the weight off, am fitter and stronger than I've ever been and continue to work at it. Your videos, along others and the advice from my GP are a constant source of interesting information and tips. Thanks for your videos and expertise 👍

I know this video is a bit aged but I wanted to suggest something. Protein per 100g of beef is roughly 33g depending on the cut. Grams per ounce is 28.3. So I sit down to mow down some delicious grass finished chuck roast and decided to weigh it as I ate. The meal consisted of 440g of beef, fat included plus some butter on the side and a 3 oz can of kipper snacks. In the beef it calculates roughly to 132g of protein. At 200 lbs body weight I need about 200g protein per day. With the fish, beef, and a few eggs for my other meal I figure I’m doing alright on the protein levels. I suspect I’m not getting enough fat though. Measuring that will be my next quest for info. Always appreciate your videos @kenberrymd…I started carnivore (no dairy) a week before thanksgiving as my lab results showed I was potentially pre-diabetic at 6.1 A1C with what I thought were some questionable lipid numbers. 2 more months and I’ll do the blood again but I’m -24 lbs and digging what I’m seeing in the mirror these days.

Hey Ken, I love the way you get your word across, it’s easy to understand and makes good sense with back up. I’ve been on Keto for over 3 years now and I narrowed it down to 2 people I go to for all my Keto Questions and that would be you and Thomas but he gets a to descriptive at times but has good back up Documentation if I wanna go down that road for work outs 💪🏼

21 years old just started the carnivore diet/primal diet with autoimmune disease up to 10 canker sores in my mouth at a time down to my throat and zit like sores all over the legs/arms, Uveitis in my eyes and leading to my right eye going blind. Diagnosed with Bechets disease 3 years ago 20-60mg of prednisone a day for a two years with humera this last year. I’m now on 4 months of primal/keto diet and I haven’t taken any steroids in 3 months!!!! Now on to the humera 2 weeks with no “medicine” and feeling the best I’ve have felt! This time last year I didn’t think I could survive without my “medicine”. Thank you!!!

According to a recent low carb down under video - the whole world is not consuming enough protein as a large proportion are consuming more plant based protein which has limited protein components (lysine etc) and thus the excess components are burnt as fuel rather than providing the necessary amounts for muscle growth, body repair and daily use.

So glad you mentioned not using shakes, bars etc as protein sources. Had a family member, who had a gastric sleeve and has been using protein shakes for several years, following the advice of the medical support staff after the procedure. Long story short, she had an issue with kidney stones! She had several procedures using lithotripsy to break up her huge and chronic issues with kidney stones, and reoccurring infections. Finally they (another set of medical staff) mentioned what I suspected, the protein shakes may be the culprit. I think the medical fixes to her metabolic issues and associated health problems caused a whole different set of problems. I am taking notes, in order to optimize my health by fixing my own metabolic problems and associated health issues, using my diet and activity. Dr Berry, I would appreciate your perspective on the use of surgery for weight loss. What has been your experience working with people who've had the surgery. I am resolute in learning what the 'proper human diet' is and figuring out a way to attain the weight best suited for my overall health.

Àudra, my aunt's friend died from gastric bypass surgery. It is not worth it to remove body parts and organs that you were born with, parts humans evolved to have. Every part of your body has a purpose. The appendix contains every single bacteria and germ you ever came into contact with. The appendix will also absorb water, fluids. People can't digest food well and they can't absorb nutrients well. They often have to take supplements to replace real nutrition from food, and yet people want to destroy themselves to lose weight. After surgery, some people will gain all of the weight back. Not worth it. In Florida, doctors told a friend that she needed to have her gall bladder removed. Her gall bladder was healthy. Now she suffers without her gall bladder and this doctor did it to many other people. He just wanted the money. She was so angry that there was no need to remove an important organ that allows her to digest food properly and absorb nutrients. Even if gall bladder is full of stones, don't remove it. You will have more health problems later, like my aunt. They stones are coming from the liver. Dr. Hulda Clark has cheap simple way to remove stones from liver and the gall bladder. There is always a better, safer, natural way to cure a health problem. She also has program for kidney stones. There is also a herb called Stone Breaker, and there are many other ways to heal , lose weight and so on.

I couldn't agree more with insomnia. For years I have been suffering from insomnia, tried everything from exercising, losing great amount of weight, intermittent fasting to keto diet, nothing worked. Until I focused on my daily macro intake. Giving protein intake the priority since I m trying to build some muscles these days, I have since being able to sleep at least 6-8 hrs straight without waking up in between.

Thank you for this video. I have been slowly loosing hair since age 18 Now pattern baldness does run in my family. The big thing about this video is my wife is showing almost all of these symptoms except for the osteoporosis diagnosis. The has been having the hair loss for no reason, the brittle nails, hair, and skin. She has also been having really bad swelling of the feet and ankles for a while now. I have also started having some edema myself. I am a type 2 diabetic so that and the slower wound healing could be part of that. By watching your videos, we have been learning a lot and have started Carnivore as of yesterday to start the body and hormone reset. We have already been on Keto for 2 months so the transition to Carnivore should not be as has as someone that is eating the SAD will have. Going by the protein amounts per body weight you gave, My wife and I have only been getting slightly less than half of the protein we need per day. Thank you for all of your work Dr. Berry! Looking forward to better health coming up soon! Question for you. For the protein per pound. Is that just 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight or 1 gram per pound of lean body weight?

@edennis8578 2 жыл бұрын

If you are losing muscle mass on keto, then maybe you're eating too much fat and not enough protein. Keto is mainly low-carb with an emphasis on eating animal protein and low-carb vegetables, so you shouldn't be losing muscle mass.

I became fatigued, couldn’t sleep, Constipated, cranky, etc. I quit and started with protein only and I feel much better. It takes an effort but my concentration is better, appears that my hair is not falling out as much, I’m sleeping, more energy, overall better mood. Also I started feeling as though I was catching a cold while eating the vegetables, started with the protein and my nose quit running and the fever seems to have gone away.

Mnelmy Fisher , I use lean body mass as the low end. I am relatively low body fat so the difference is not enormous. If I get 120-150 protein a day it feels pretty good, but any higher really becomes a chore to eat that much and I do not find any benefit.

@toddanderson9001 4 жыл бұрын

Diana VP , Grams of protein in the meat. I would use goal weight for grams because 20 grams of protein one way or the other probably will not make a big difference and you can always adjust once you get an idea how it makes you feel.
