It appears reducing protein too much, when having kidney issues, may be of further detriment.

It appears 1.40 grams of protein per kilogram per day reduced the death rate by 27% over .80 grams/kg/day. This is saying .8 grams versus 1.4 grams of protein per 2.2 pounds of weight. It converts to 54.5 grams for a 150 pound person versus 95.5 grams for that same 150 pound person (according to quick calculator work).

If interested, an amazing, but super-extreme, diet called the Rice Diet (by Walter Kempner, MD) actually reversed kidney dysfunction, blood pressure, and retinal issues. It appeared to work by eliminating any difficult-to-handle function dealing with proteins or amino acids, so reducing protein can make some sense, as well.

It’s not germane to this specific study, aside from describing protein considerations with the kidney, but I will include a reference to it in my next post.

There are multiple articles on this diet and doctor, on various sites.

Human body evolved as omnivores. We do not have prominent canine teeth and short bowels found in carnivores such as lions, hyena and tigers. We do not have long bowels found in herbivores such as deer, necessary to digest grasses and leaves. Our teeth and bowels are designed for a diet of combination of foods.

The thing of it is anyone can find out if it does them any good by trying it out for 30 days.
If you don’t feel any improvement you can always go back to whatever you were eating.
And take whatever poison your trusted big pharma prescribes you.

I’m embarrassed to say my ‘quick calculator’ work is struggling this morning. I keep getting the wrong numbers. It can’t be 95 grams of protein for 150lb! But I didn’t get your number either. Would you have a look and point to my mistake? :D

150lb x kg/2.2lbs = 68.2 kgs
68.2 kg x 1.4 grams/kg= 95.5 grams of protein?

So if I understand this. The secret to long life is to get kidney disease. Then you have to eat more protein.
