Do Those High Protein Low Carb Diets Work?
all diets work, but this paragraph shows the problem with organized, marketed diets, and provides a solution, along with exercise tips:
Excercise- DO NOT do anything tedious or you will lose interest FAST. find something you love to do and stick with it. I cannot run on the track by myself because i find it too boring, and eventually i hate it and want to skip it. same goes for running on a treadmill, or doing simple workouts alone (pushups, crunches, lunges). Find something like xc trail running, rock climbing, road biking or mountain biking. Serious roadies (dont have to be a racer) can eat pretty much anything they want, since they burn it all up cycling 100-200 miles a week or even more depending on your program. The trick is to find something you love, that way you want to do it. And when you know that running on the track or doing pushups will help you get better in that activity, you wont mind doing it.
Food- dont do any special diet or what not. You see all the europeans are skinny and we wonder why. it is because they simply dont eat as much as we do. hamburgers, hot dogs were both invented in Germany. the French are pastry gods, and the Italians eat heavy ice cream (gelato). They simply dont eat as much. A steak for them is half your hand, while children here eat 1/4 pounders. True what you eat matters, but not as much as how much you eat. By all means, dont eat junk food or drink soda, and if you must, dont eat all of it. And dont start eating half portions all at once, slowly adjust yourself to it, eating one or two less bites each meal each day, for example. Dont belive any of these hyped up diet fads, they all work, but can you really live like that for the rest of your life? making your body adjust to smaller portions is somethign you can live with, because you will be full and cant eat whole burger anymore. Before this golden age of advertising, we americans were thin too. but since then, mc donalds has taken over, followed by diet programs. do you really think they people who write those books or make those meals want you to be not fat? No, thats why they make a series of books, and sell those foods, because you cant live like that forever. You will get skinny, and then boom, you will slip and become fat again, thinking that this worked before, lets do it again and the cycle contintues.
Simply find an activity you love, and eat less.
The first two answerers are mostly correct, vegetarians are never healthy looking and are intolerant of most meats. They just look sickly all day. We are carnivores not herbivores. You don’t see cows eating rabbits do you? Stick with what God wants you to do. A well rounded diet is the best, bottom line.
Yes, they do. But 2 problems: 1) people who consume high protein foods often go for red meats while not paying attention to their fat content and not enough fish, and 2) people neglect to consume large quantities of vegetable protein, such as peas, beans, soya, lentils, and nuts.
No; it is not healthy for the body to be consuming mosty meats, dairy, etc. It cloggs up the liver, for one thing. Not to mention cholesterol. My mom tried the high protein, low-carb diet for a couple years; A year & a half ago, she became a vegetarian, and the pounds dropped right off her, she looked awesome, and had tons more energy. If you really want to lose weight, cut meat out of your diet for awhile. It works.

Youll lose weight and you r bad chol. will go up.real high!
Then when you go back to eating healthy the pounds will jump back on.
Better to watch your calorie intake and eat more fruits and veggies and fiber.Less red meat and junk food, no fast food.
