I've tried both animal based and plan based protein sources.I was eating around 150g a day but when I cut my protein down to around 40g a day my brain fog goes away, I have more energy, I sleep better and for less time (was sleeping around 10 hours a day before), I have much better digestion and poos.I'm just going to focus on getting lean and maintaining whatever muscle I have and hope I'm happy with my body when I get there, eating a lot of protein is ruining my life.
>>77147117your shit sounds retarded and gay.
>>77147191how about you eat shit and die
>>77147117Sounds like you have aids
>>77147117Sounds like trolling, like you just inverted the usual carnivore script and posted for effect, i don't doubt or believe anything in 4chan though
>>77147218You can look up a lot of people feeling better on a lower protein diet

>>77147117>150g a day but when I cut my protein down to around 40gyeah yeah - just about right is halfway through 95 total that includes protein from rice bread and such, for a male of course, the lower limit is 70, up to 100 is OPTIMAL, over 100 is poisonous to human body so 3rd of a scoop of best shit there is (whey gold standard) IF every meal is pure rice (and bread and butter and maybe some veggies blah blah and multiviatin pill) if there is meat then nope, u don't need extra - it's not gonna grow more muscle, it's gonna diminish growth by deteriorating your health - toxic farts, bad sleep, bowel inflammation
>>77147117fruitarian ketoism for me
I bet you were overeating and by cutting down on the protein you've also reduced the total amount of food you eat significantly which is the real reason you feel better. Eating light can have a lot of benefits
>>77147328name one.
>>77147338not feeling lethargic after a meal
SameI don't really like forcing a lot of protein (a ton of tuna, chicken breast, egg whites, skyr, etc). Whatever comes from normal meat cuts and whatever comes from a couple whole eggs, and maybe a bit of hard cheese, and maybe a glass of milk in the morning, and maybe some fish. As for plant matter, I like eating chickpeas, lentils and rice.I think that's enough protein to come by naturally, anything more than that feels really awkward and off, I don't feel good at all bodily.
>>77147117It's probably due to cutting carbohydrates alongside protein than cutting protein itself
>>77147338everything you described
>>77147117 i absolutely love salmon and beef. i'm doing a long cleanse right now though and fasting most days. just veggies and a little carbs. the first few weeks were hard but i feel better now. st. patrick's day is next week and im going to make corned beef and cabbage, like i do every year. three more weeks and i'll be a carnivore again. i feel better and more focused when i limit carbs and not proteins. >t. hunter gatherer
>>77147117What were your sources of protein? If it was some retarded shit like protein bars or 100g of protein powder, no shit nigga.
>>77147117carbs are great, but if you sit on your ass then it all just goes to fat instead of burning it as energy
