Workout and weight loss on wheels- too much protein

Not only are meats rich in cholesterol, they provide too much fat, which damages arteries and causes heart disease and stroke. Beef derives 60% – 80% of its calories from fat; pork, 80% – 95%; chicken, 30% – 50%; and fish, 5% – 60% percent. Americans consume 6 to 10 times as much protein as they need. All that excess protein overworks the liver and kidneys causing both to become enlarged and injured. Excess protein consumption also causes the kidneys to pull large quantities of calcium from the body, causing bones to weaken and kidney stones to form. Furthermore, their is a dangerous toxin in meat called sulfa, which can damage the liver and kidneys. When the protein content of the diet drops, kidneys are strengthened and very often healed. Therefore it is important to consume plant foods. When we remove the poisons from our lives and replace them with health- promoting food, the body can heal itself, even from illnesses considered “incurable.”
