now this is an important video to make sure you’re  not consuming too much protein so i want to tell  

you the top sign to know that you’re consuming  too much protein and the number one symptom is  

gastrointestinal malaise now what is this  gastrointestinal malaise well it’s a general  

discomfort an uneasiness in your digestive  system like you just feel something’s not right  

number two dysphoria there’s some alteration in  how you feel dysphoria is a state of generalized  

unhappiness restlessness dissatisfaction or just  frustration you just don’t feel very good and  

then we get number three lethargy this is lack of  energy sluggishness and just a lack of enthusiasm  

and number four weakness so all four of these  symptoms can indicate that you’re consuming too  

much protein now on a ketogenic diet you should  never go past 30% of all your calories being  

protein in fact i recommend keeping your protein  calories roughly about 20% because what’s going to  

happen is you might start getting increased bun  blood urea nitrogen and so you’re going to get a  

lot of protein waste and you may see your urine  being a bit foamy and having a very um kind of  

a weird odor but here’s the thing the skeletal  muscle protein synthesis which is your dietary  

protein turning into muscle protein and repair  occurs when you’re consuming protein you know  

up to about 25 grams per meal but as you start to  go over this number you get less and less protein  

synthesis and you’re going to get more and more  oxidation where that protein is going to be burned  

as fuel because it’s going to turn into sugar so  if you were to double that number let’s say you’re  

consuming 50 grams of protein per meal half of  that protein is not going to be used for synthesis  

the creation of new muscle or the repair of  muscle it’s going to be used as oxidation or fuel  

now what’s this going to do to your keto plan it’s  going to reduce your keto adaptation it’s going to  

increase your blood sugars it’s going to increase  your insulin a little bit not as much as sugar but  

it’s going to increase it to a modest amount  and it’s going to drop your ketone production  

so going on a keto plan is not doing high protein  it’s doing a moderate amount of protein so if
