    Long term high protein diets bad for your Kidneys? Past 5 years of research.

    @vick24 They track those factors so the researchers don't come to misleading results. Typically you pull out factors like those, run the statistics again, compare the new results and come up with a "Confidence rating".(This is a gross oversimplification) If that confidence rating is too low it...

    @amberlynnmccormick "there is a lack of consensus regarding the formal definition... most definitions set a threshold between 1.2 and 2.0 g/kg per day" That's taken from the Meta study, an analysis of several other studies.

    @dwmitch1 That's misleading out of context, the article isn't about comparing animal and plant protein sources. Even this doesn't summarize the paragraph. ->"The quality of dietary protein may also play a role in kidney health. Compared with protein from plant sources, animal protein has been...

    @jacobsonofjohn Conclusion: "A high-protein diet increases the risk of RHF(Renal hyperfiltration) and a rapid renal function decline in the general population. These findings suggest that a high-protein diet has a deleterious effect on renal function in the general population." TLDR: High...

    @sharleeg I don't think anyone has a "correct" answer at this point about what too much protein really is, the research is still coming out. Personally, I try to stay between 120g and 150g a day. It's my personal, mental, sweet spot for growth and risk management. "still way less than what a...

    Long term high protein diets bad for your Kidneys? Past 5 years of research.

    @laura02375 I was thinking about that when I wrote it last night. After thinking it through I'm not so sure that's how it works, but I'm really not an expert. Eating 5000 calories a day would be putting 312g protein through your system a day at 25%. Eating 1500 calories a day would be putting...

    Is there a 'formula' to help determine the appropriate rep range to use from the 5-30 range for a specific exercise?

    @dawn16 Hello! I do RDLs in a 10-12 range. I have a hurt back and find it safer to do more reps with less weight. I can tell when I'm 2-3 reps from failure easier with a bit higher rep range. I can't/won't risk failing a rep half way through.

    @laura02375 That's one of the studies I linked, just from a different host. I still consume a ton of protein everyday. I just think people should make their own informed decisions. Edit:I just did a quick skim to see what they considered as a "High protein diet" in that study. I didn't pick...

    @buna "They use eGFR calculated by creatinine." "The problem with using that in our population is that we regularly engage in activities which artificially increase creatinine" This does make analyzing fitness prone people more difficult. These studies are not only looking at active lifestyle...

    I keep seeing outdated information about the effects of a high protein diet on kidney health. Just because it's inconvenient news doesn't mean we should act like it doesn't exist. Over the last 5 years multiple studies have shown High protein diets are rough on the kidneys over the very long...

    Want to take a 1-2 week break. Could use some insight

    @dawn16 4 days off always feels like the sweet spot when I'm way over cooked. I feel better in 3 but in hindsight that last day always seems like the most important, similar to taking an extra day off after being sick.

    Been training for years and on the verge of giving up due to lack of progress, what should I do?

    @hubies It's not exactly "High Intensity" but this routine has me making progress again after a couple years of stalling. I follow a lightly modified version. https://muscleevo.net/upper-lower-split/ I've tried a few different UL splits, this is the good stuff. My only complaint is it's a...
