Side Effects Of High Protein Diets - September 13th, 2009

My husband started a muscle building regime about a month ago and it was not good. He decided to cut down all his carbs and only eat vegetables and protein well let me tell you something really bad happened. Because he was eating so much protein and no carbs his body started to use that protein for energy and when the body did that it had to break down the protein different from the carbs and it created a large amount of ammonia in his body.

Well after about a week of this diet he started to notice that his man area started to smell like ammonia. At first he tried to ignore it and just wash better but that really didn’t work because the problem was inside his body not outside so he really couldn’t was it out so finally he went to his doctor to find out what was going on. When his doctor told him it was because of his new diet and all he had to do was add more cabs back into his diet he was so relieved and so was I, Phew. So the next time you want to go on an all protein diet think again or you will start to smell like cat pee.
