    Weight Loss At the beginning of the 20th century, explorer Aljamer Stephenson, who set out on an Arctic expedition, spent five years eating only meat. This meant that their diet was 80% fat and 20% protein. 20 years later, in 1928, Stephenson repeated the same experiment for about a year at New York's Bellevue Hospital. Stephenson did this experiment to prove people wrong, who said that man cannot live by eating meat alone. But unfortunately, during both experiments, he fell ill very quickly. The reason was clear. Stephenson was eating lean protein , hence he got “protein poisoning”. That is, it became difficult due to taking more protein. When Stephenson changed his diet and included more protein and fat, his illness immediately subsided. Before his death at age 83, Stephenson followed a low-carbohydrate, low-fat diet. The case of Stephenson is one of the earliest examples of the adverse effects of high protein intake on human health. But this matter is a century old
