There was an experiment conducted with three groups of rats. The first got only fed carbohydrates and gained weight. The second ate only protein and lost weight. The third ate fat exclusively, their weight stayed the same.

- scns 5y agoYeah, you are absolutely correct. Sadly i don't have a link at hand :(
- inglor_cz 5y agoBeware of translating rat results to humans, though. We can eat very high carb or very high fat diet for quite some time, but we very definitely cannot eat very high protein diet without getting seriously, potentially fatally sick within weeks. Protein poisoning is a thing in humans! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_poisoning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_poisoning
- phonypc 5y agoAs that wikipedia page lays out, this is really a fat deficiency issue. Protein poisoning isn't really an accurate term for the condition.
- scns 5y agoI would highly advise against that! Protein metabolism creates acidic byproducts. Your bloods ph must stay the same no matter what. If you don't counter those, your body will take calcium from your bones to level it. A diet high in protein needs to be balanced with vegetables and fruit. [edit]Counterintuitively even sour fruit is metabolized basically. The most alkaline food spinach is not without pitfalls though. High consumption over time will net you kidney stones.[/edit]
- scns 5y agoThank you, for bringing that to my attention, just read it.
