Hello
Im an active guy, i workout with weights and all that jazz.
For some time now i have really experimented with my protein intake in terms of fullness and what effects it has on me.
I have been trying to get my water retention away for the longest time as well. Sodium bicarbonate really help but i need to take alot of it for it to have a really big effect.
So then i started to up my protein intake to see. What i have found was kind of strange but also very cool.
When i increase my protein intake to 250g+ a day, positive things really start to happen.
- faster and better bowel movements
- way less water retention
- better pulse and temp
- i can just drink water with meals and it makes me even warmer
Today i tried eating the 120-150g again, and man it sucked ****. When i was drinking water/fluid i could just feel it filling me up in terms of water retention and it did.
So i was wondering, do i just need that high amount of protein for a while?
Or what other things cant it be?
