Health Special What if the body starts rejecting the protein while including essential proteins in the diet? If you start consuming protein in your diet regularly, if you experience symptoms like stomach pain, gas? All this leads to aversion to protein and a tendency to avoid it. But in today’s article, let’s find out why this is happening
Suruchi and Samar have been living in Singapore for the past 15 years. Samar has lost around 15 kgs in the last 2 years by working hard on her body. He knows his body well, but after getting stuck into protein powders and total weights, he got a bit wrong with his diet. “Samar started taking protein powder for the last 6 months and he started losing a lot of hair” said Suruchi… “But I kept telling him not to take protein without asking but he didn’t listen. You should understand him”

Both men and women need protein
“I have been trying for the past 2 years to get my weight under control. Earlier I used to eat eggs for protein. Now recently this protein powder has been launched. And it’s a protein for men.” Samar looked at me for help. – I told him, “Both men and women need protein. I think you are taking more protein than you need” Samar said, “I am taking 1.5 pounds of protein for my weight. It reduces weight. Muscles get stronger”
The result of excess protein!
I said, “That’s right. Do you take isolate?”
“Yes, because it’s the best, right?” Samar said in surprise.
“Right! Samar, it’s great that you exercise regularly. But whey concentrate is more useful for you protein. Isolate is best but you don’t need it anymore. Now your protein in your diet plus two servings of whey is about 60 grams of protein from your powder, which is on-record (textbook-wise) pretty heavy but not practical. Consuming too much protein on a regular basis will increase your testosterone and cause your hair to fall out.”
Excess protein is excreted from the body
“But this is a mistake. This should not happen. So this protein is wrong, bad” said Samar without stopping.
“I take protein so that the stress of office, sleep does not affect me, so even if I get a little less protein from food, Ve Isolate will manage it. But on the contrary”
“It doesn’t happen. Our body excretes excess protein.” Both Suruchi and Samar started listening attentively. “You have been following the diet discipline well for the past 2 years, which has given you the desired results. Now you just have to take care of your health. The more stress you put on, the more hair loss, less sleep, and in turn the opposite will happen. On the contrary, you will feel good if you do the diet according to your convenience. Carbs in the diet are equally important while increasing protein, reducing them will not work” …Samar must have understood what I was saying.

Take enough protein
“Does that mean protein is off from today?” Suruchi asked excitedly – “I said no, don’t isolate.” “Concentrate will do,” Samar mumbled. Many people, like Suruchi, blame protein for hair loss and generally label all whey proteins as bad. By knowing exactly what type of protein you want or what type of protein your body needs, including it in your diet will make protein digestion and absorption easier. There are three types of whey protein isolates, concentrates and hydrolases – for many athletes or those who expect a minimal amount of lactose and fat to come from protein in their diet, isolate protein is recommended. Dietary criteria for protein are determined by considering the type and availability of protein, as well as physical fitness, physical exercise and dietary requirements.
Not only hair loss, protein causes gassiness, acne breakouts and other side effects with excessive or sudden increase in protein consumption. To avoid it, protein should be included in the diet only on the advice of experts.
