Does to much protein make you gain?



Recommended Posts

I'm to finally losing weight I was 261 then 249 after surgery now I'm 237 I'm three weeks out yesterday and I am so scared of losing my hair that everything I do is Protein. I think that I am at least about 80 -85 grams of protein my goal is 220 by the end of January but for about 6 days now I have been here. Should I lay off the protein. Ex oatmeal with 25 grams of protein lunch chopped chicken breast with veggie dinner chopped chicken with veggies I between I usually have one isolate Protein Drink 40g and then a strawberry juice shake 60g. Am I over doing it?

I am 3 1/2 months out and I consume 90 grams of Protein a day , So I do not think you are overdoing it ... As far as Hair loss ... I am currently going through it , started around a lil before my 3rd month ... It seems to be inevitable .... I take a bariatric multi Vitamin , Biotin , Vitamin D and B12 ... however the hair loss is worrisome ... Per my surgeon it happens and it will grow back , Keep up the good work

Thanks I'm so worried about it. Even though I keep a full weave in my hair at all times. I can't afford to lose any. My hair is already thin

My doc told me min is 60-70g of Protein. Said he like me to do 90-100g. Just depends on your stats, Height, weight, and age.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
