High Protein Essay, Research Paper
A high protein diet is essentially that, a diet
that is high in protein. However… The diet is not
only high in protein, but it is low in other nutrients
of the traditional diet, especially in carbohydrates.
Basically in high protein diets the word
carbohydrate is non existent. The carbohydrate amount is so low, that even a bagel can push you over your allowed carbohydrate limit. In the high protein diet, you are limited to foods that are high in protein, and low in carbohydrates. These foods include. Beef, chicken, turkey, fish, butter, cheese, pork, and very few others. You must ONLY eat these foods or else the diet will not ‘work’ properly. This diet is real popular with men, as they love the idea of feasting on meat products and losing weight at the same time. However, a lot of times they don’t research the diet before they start, and don’t know the benefits and consequences of the diet.
