Re: Protein Diets.

As with most things, there are a variety of opinions and a number of pros and cons.
High protein i.e 20-30% of the diet, allows the body to work harder, as protein takes longer to digest than carbs, plus burns more calories, hence the weight loss.
Apparently be aware of missing out some vitamins and minerals from reducing carbs, fruit and vegetables, especially vitamins B,C , beta carotene and bioflavonoids.
Also constipation from reduced fibre,
Breath odour described as sweet, grape like due to breakdown of ketones in the body.
If used short term or with a carb 'holiday' every so often it can be very effective it seems.
With common sense and moderation most things are workable.

Re: Protein Diets.

I'm on a high protein diet and I try to reach 60-80 grams of protein per day,
my diet consists of:

milk, yoghurts, cheese for calcium

good fats like mackerel, cheese, nuts, eggs

Good carbs like brown rice, oats, sweet potato, bananas, quinoa, couscous, butternut squash,

I eat vegetables, lentils, pearl barley and I make lots of homemade soups, I also eat a lot of fish.

I try to keep my calories between 1000 and 1200 per day and most of my calories come from protein. I swim 3-4 times a week and in 9 months I have lots 6st 12lbs.
