10 Protein Deficiency Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Increased Appetite
Poor appetite is one of the symptoms of severe protein deficiency. However, when the case is mild to moderate, increased appetite becomes a symptom. Following a low-protein diet weakens your body and makes it uncomfortable. That is why it increases your appetite to make you eat more so that your protein intake increases.
Eating high-protein foods solves the problem. However, modern life is full of high-calorie foods. These types of foods contain a certain amount of protein. However, the amount of calories is a lot higher compared to protein. This is why low-protein intake causes problems like weight gain and obesity in modern societies.
