Booooring I know , but getting back on track dietwise has a lot to do
with
this:

For y'all that I've been sharing Dr. Ted Morters Video with this
pretty much
confirms what he's preaching about diet.

Excerpt from the Webpage of the Harvard School of Public Health:

Protein: Moving Closer to Center Stage

Can you get too much protein? Digesting it releases acids that the
body
usually neutralizes with calcium and other buffering agents in the
blood.
Eating lots of protein, such as the amounts recommended in the
so-called
low-carb or no-carb diets, takes lots of calcium. Some of this may be
pulled
from bone. Following a high-protein diet for a few weeks probably
won't have
much effect on bone strength. Doing it for a long time, though, could
weaken
bone. In the Nurses' Health Study, for example, women who ate more
than 95
grams of protein a day were 20 percent more likely to have broken a
wrist
over a 12-year period when compared to those who ate an average amount
of
protein (less than 68 grams a day).(1

) Although more research is clearly needed to define the optimal
amount of
daily protein, these results suggest that long-term high-protein diets
should be used with caution, if at all.

Its an eye opener and points squarely at what many nutritionists call
the
SAD or

"Standard American Diet".
