Protein Diet is it Right For You? By K. Purdenn At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

There are actually two kinds of protein diets. There is the low protein diet which (as the name implies) entails the person to limit their protein intake; and then there is the high protein diet which is the exact opposite of the low protein one. It should be noted here that both of these protein diets are very different from the protein rich Atkins diet. For one thing, the Atkins diet is both low fat and calorie-controlled, while the 2 aforementioned are not.

If you are asking whether or not the low protein diet is right for you, then you might want to go to your doctor for advice. The low protein diet is usually recommended only for people with kidney or liver disease, or both. In other words, this is an eating regimen recommended only for people who may have a more difficult time processing proteins altogether. An unsupervised diet regimen of this kind is not really the best way to lose unwanted pounds. The drastic reduction of protein in the diet is compensated with the other food groups, particularly those that are bound to make you feel endlessly hungry.

Farm and meat products are of course, either severely limited or removed completely from the diet; and consumption of legumes like carob products, coconuts, dried beans, lentils, meat substitutes, nuts, peas, peanut butter, seeds and soy beans are closely monitored. However, the person who is under this kind of diet is given free rein to eat all the fruits and vegetables he or she can, which is good. However, the person can eat as all grain based products (like breads, cakes, pancakes, pastas, etc.,) oil based products (like cooking fats, salad dressings, vegetable oils, etc.,) and all manner of sweets (like honey, jams, jellies, sugar, syrups, etc.) Grains, oil and sweets are the three things that can make you feel hungry and literally bottomless.

High protein diet, on the other hand, is usually prescribed to men who have the medical condition called oligospermia or low sperm count. However, this diet as a treatment option is still pretty much debatable. Bodybuilders and those in weight training often use this kind of diet to build up body mass and lose fats in the body. The high protein diet is often times coupled with a low carb diet as well. Nonetheless, this is not a particularly great diet to get on if you want to shed unwanted pounds. In fact, the goal for this diet is to increase pounds by muscle build-up. Additionally, the unsupervised use of this diet can lead to permanent renal or kidney failure, especially to a number of people who are already experiencing one or more forms of kidney diseases.

If you really want to shed those unwanted pounds (without the need for bulking up) and you want those pounds permanently off in a hurry, both these protein diets are definitely not for you. You could try the more reasonable Fat Loss For Idiots diet which is guaranteed to help you shed off as much as 9 pounds in 11 days. Fat Loss For Idiots is actually a more sensible eating plan that allows you to eat all the healthy and tasty foods that can speed up your calorie-burning metabolism.
