Why is meat/ too much protein constipating?

[Guest guest]

Is too much protein constipating because our digestive system is not designed

for a lot of protein or/we don't produce the bacteria/acid like carnivore

animals do?

@@ Hi There,

Is your name ? Can please include your name at the end of your messages.

Thanks in advance.

The short answer to your question is yes, too much protein consumption can cause

constipation. This is why you should consume good fat i.e coconut oil, butter,

olive oil ...etc with your protein which prevents this problem.

Best in Health,

+++Hi ,

The very easiest foods for humans to digest are meats, eggs and good fats. This

is from my Physiology Text Book, so even medical people know this.

Carnivores are meat eating animals. Herbivores are plant eating animals like

cows. We are called omnivores, so like pigs and birds, we can consume meats,

fats and plant foods.

However, humans do not have digestive enzymes nor bacteria necesary in order to

break down the cellulose (fibers) in all plant foods, which is the cell walls.

Eating them forces our large intestines (and sometimes small intestines) to

create bacteria, including candida/yeast, in order to break them down. Fibers

also speed up digestion so nutrients cannot be absorbed like they should. In

addition, fibers make the muscles in the intestines weak and stretch them out.

All of those are the causes of digestive problems and many other issues so

that's why this is a a low-carb, high good fats, moderate protein program.

Read " Comparison Between the Digestive Tracts of a Carnivore, a Herbivore and

Man -

http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/carn_herb_comparison.html

If you lower carbs too fast and do not get your good fats up high enough in

ratio to protein you can become constipated, so that's why you change over to

this program gradually as explained in my article Curing Candida, How to Get

Started.

Also your digestive system isn't used to having less fiber/bulk move through it,

and it moves more slowly now so nutrients can be absorbed better. But it takes

time to rebuild your body's cell which make up the muscles so they become strong

enough to move like they should without fibers pushing through them and causing

damage and bacteria being formed.

All the best, Bee
