Lose Weight with a High Protein Diet
I have tried many diets and I find I will lose weight the easiest and fastest with a high protein diet. It works, but there may be some unhealthy side effects from this type of diet. Not only unhealthy side effects, but unpleasant ones also, like massive constipation and really bad breath as your body goes into acidosis.
Don’t be deceived by the name ‘high protein’—which is another way of saying low or no-carb diet. All the fad diets that were no or low carb were condemned for their unhealthiness. Low or no carb diet also suggests high protein or fat diet; it’s just altering the name and wishing everyone will swallow it! Believe me, if you are not eating carbs, you are eating probably a high fat, high protein diet.
What is a high protein diet? A high protein diet is precisely what it claims it is; except the difference is that to be high protein, you also have to control the carbs that you consume. If you stay with the amount of carbs that you normally consume, but up the amount of protein, you’ll not lose any weight; yet, if you drop the carb calories and swap them for protein calories, you’re likely to lose weight. The problem is that it can be unhealthy. You may lose weight but it can be very hard on your kidneys.
First of all, the body, indeed, needs protein for building and maintaining muscles. Some sources of protein in standard diet comprise all dairy products, some types of beans, and all kinds of nuts. Meaning, even vegetarians, if can find sufficient protein intake from yogurt, milk, and cheese although they don’t eat meat, fish or eggs. Soy products now make this type of diet available for vegans.
So the body does need protein and carbohydrates. While protein develops and preserves muscles, carbohydrates provide energy source to nudge muscles so that they can be strengthened. You have to have some carbs in your diet for energy purposes.
Protein can be transformed into energy, but the course is inept and yields toxins as it is changing protein to glucose–the effect on you is you are becoming tired, ratty and constipated. Sure, low and no carb diets let you lose weight, just like the high protein diet will make you lose weight, supposing not all the proteins you eat are rib eye steaks. The ideal diet is adjusted with foods from the food pyramid. Every group boasts its purpose. If you want to lose weight in a healthful, efficient means, the key is to choose the complex carbs, leaner meats, unsaturated fats and lots of fruits and vegetables.
This may not be the fastest means to lose weight, but it is the healthiest and it is a stable sort of weight loss. High protein or no carb diets help you lose weight at quickly, but it comes piling back on a once you’re back to your ‘regular’ diet. You must make the low complex carbs and high protein diet a lifestyle, so as not to regain your weight.
