4. IRREGULAR BOWEL PROBLEMS High protein diets easily wipe out the healthy gut flora because they lack pre-biotics fiber that helps to fuel the beneficial bacteria. It causes various bowel
issues, the most prevalent being constipation and diarrhea. Stomach cramping and bloating are common. The problem with high-protein diets which exclude carbohydrates is that they are very
low in fiber. 5. CAUSES A NUTRITIONAL DEFICIT A protein-rich diet also lacks essential micronutrients and hence the diet may not always be balanced to meet your body’s nutritional
requirements. However, if the body receives excess proteins, it may lead to a metabolic strain on the liver, kidney, and bones. Additionally, it also leads to leaching out of nutrients from
these organs, which reduces the overall biological nutrient balance. 6. AFFECTS CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH High-protein diets sometimes comprise a higher intake of red meats and fattier
proteins. However, all proteins do not behave in the body in the same manner. Plant protein leads to a lower mortality risk compared to animal proteins. Plant proteins result in longevity,
and their daily consumption helps to diminish the risk of death by about 5%. 7. INCREASED CANCER RISK Certain high-protein diets that are high in red meat-based proteins are linked to an
increased risk of various health issues, especially cancer. Eating more red and processed meat is associated with colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer. However, eating protein from other
sources is said to decrease the risk of cancer.
