A higher-protein diet can make some people sweat more by raising heat production during digestion and shifting fluids, salt, and meal choices.

Protein intake alone rarely bumps ALT or AST; elevations most often come from fatty liver, alcohol, meds, infections, supplements, or hard training.

High-protein eating rarely harms the gallbladder on its own, but rapid weight loss and low-fiber, high-saturated-fat patterns can raise gallstone risk.

Body fat can’t turn into protein, but its energy can spare muscle when you eat enough protein and train your muscles.
