Who even knows what is in those containers? Could be rat poison for all anyone knows. Just eat good healthy food. Good grief.

Too much of a good thing can be bad for you. If all she was eating was protein supplements, she was missing out on some key nutrients. That's why I always add ice cream and fried food into my diet to keep things in balance 🙂 Her photo makes her look too skinny and not very muscular.

I feel bad for her family, but good grief. This woman was studying to be a paramedic and worked in a hospital. Apparently she missed the portion of her phys and anatomy classes that covered nutrition and what a body needs as fuel. I've witnessed semi pro/pro bodybuilders training a huge portion of the training is diet that is heavily monitored. One woman I was friends with who earned her pro card after competing told me that the working out part was the easy part... it was the cooking and monitoring the food and the eating that was the hard part. I hope she didn't screw up because the labels on those supplements are inaccurate. Recently I think Countrygirl posted a link about how dangerous lean rabbit protein can be for you especially if eaten exclusively. In the article it gave the max amount of protein the body could process safely in a day and also noted why some fat in the diet was important to health and staying alive.

I missed the part that said ALL she was eating was protein supplements. Either way looks like she had too much protein
Still, I would not recommend too many body building supplements. 1 protein shake a day (4 days a week) is more than enough for me.

One woman I was friends with who earned her pro card after competing told me that the working out part was the easy part... it was the cooking and monitoring the food and the eating that was the hard part. I have a friend that competes in the bodybuilding contests (no idea if she's got a pro card or even what that is) and her diet is seriously depressing. She gets very happy and posts grateful messages about pitifully meager things, like "so excited! Today was treat day and I got to eat 6 almonds with a light dusting of cocoa powder! So yummy!" And unlike cynical me, she's not joking when she says it - she's really, truly grateful for those stinkin' almonds. Eating reasonably is important; the standard American diet is a recipe for disaster; maintaining a reasonable weight not only generally provides better health outcomes but allows people to stay active and enjoy life. No question. But if your diet is extreme to the point where your treat is 6 almonds... that is unhealthy and closer to the disordered eating end of the spectrum.

She wasn't only eating protein. She had an undiagnosed disorder that didn't allow her body to break down the protein. By the time the doctors figured it out, it was too late. It's really very sad but it's no one's fault.
