Are you aware of your systems PH levels? In other words, all that protein could make you very acidic. Being overly acidic for long periods of time is unhealthy. I would take some coral calcium at night and at least make a drink of green vegetable juice during the day to alkalinize myself. Also you could develop kidney stones (uric acid crystals) which are extremely painful when you urinate them out. Acid/alkaline balance is something most bodybuilders never consider.
OK...you arethe second person I ever saw here voicing concern over the hyperacidity of a bb precontest diet.I brought it up a while back but noone understood I think where I was getting at.
"As indicated, keep a tendency for alkalinity in the diet. This does not necessitate that there should never be any of the acid-forming foods included in the diet; for an overalkalinity is much more harmful than a little tendency occasionally for acidity. But remember there are those tendencies in the system for cold and congestion to affect the body, and cold cannot,does not exist in alkalines." (808-3)
IN THE CASE OF ACIDITY:
"For the acidosis the diet as given, and not too much stimulations through any alcoholic forces with fish, or at any time. It makes it bad for the blood supply and for the mental forces." (900-11)
IN THE CASE OF ACIDITY:
Question - Is alcohol bad for the body?
Answer - "Alcohol in excess is bad for the body. As indicated, a glass of red wine once a day or twice a day as a food is helpful. Excess of hard liquor or combinations are the more devastating to the gastric flow. Any stimuli that makes for a hardening of the secretions of the sympathetic system is harmful." (875-1)
IN THE CASE OF ALKALINITY/ACIDITY:
"For this particular body, light wines or champagne or those of that nature would be helpful to add a bit of an alcoholic content with the food: that there may be kept those tendencies for a better elimination, a better coordination through those activities in the alimentary canal as well as the gastric flows from the pancreas, the liver and the spleen, as well as the activity of the gall duct for the lacteals' assimilation." ( 920-8 )

Question - Any kind of intoxicating drinks?
Answer - "Wine is good for all if taken alone or with black or brown bread. Not with meats so much as with just bread. This may be taken between meals, or as a meal, but not too much - and just once a day. Red wine only." (462-6)
IN THE CASE OF ACIDITY:
"Beware of any stimuli as to make for fermentations in the system, as spirits frumenti of any kind. However, one meal each day-or two to three times a week-may include only black bread and wine (red wine); this should not be taken with vegetables or with other foods, save with either cold fowl or black bread or whole wheat bread or rye bread especially, or sour bread." (926-1)
IN THE CASE OF ACIDITY:
"Of drinks - beware of any of those that are of the soda; no bottle drinks, or very little from the fountain. These will be harmful to the body." (2261-1)

Question - Is coffee or tea good for this body?
Answer - "Coffee is better than tea, though the body may prefer the tea. Coffee without milk or without sugar is preferable; but coffee without cream or milk IS a food value. There is very little food value in tea, though it is a stimulant. Coffee is preferable." (462-6)
IN THE CASE OF ACIDITY:
"Do not combine milk with tea or coffee. These make for an acidity, and especially are hard on the digestive forces where acid is superactive in the system from the general disturbances." (1236-1)
IN THE CASE OF ACIDITY/ALKALINITY:
Question - Is coffee and milk good for the body?
Answer - "Coffee is not good, the tannin in coffee effects the milk which the body needs. The body shouldn't take things that produce acid. We have things that are not acid themselves, but change into acid when taken into the mouth. Normally there are glands in the throat which produce lactic fluid or pepsin, this body is not producing sufficient lactic fluid, so that whatever is taken is carried into acid." (4834-1)
