PROTEIN DIETS

Protein diets are very effective if you need to lose some extra pounds fast. The high protein diet is becoming one of the most popular diets in the world.

Protein is an essential component in anyone’s diet since it is from protein that we gain the amino-acids that are important in making many cells in our bodies; this includes muscles, hair, nails, etc. Eating protein produces a moderate amount of insulin but also produces the hormone glucagon. This hormone stimulates the body to get rid of fat by burning it for energy; it also decreases the body’s production of cholesterol and stimulates the kidney to release excess salt and fluid. It also maintains your blood sugar level counteracting the effect of insulin, which lowers the blood sugar levels.

10 days without carbs


You can follow this diet for no more than 10 days. It is very strict and you should follow it without breaking the rules.

Foods you can't eat:
Bread and flour foods, cereals, sugar and sugar substitutes, fruits, dairy products, carrots, corn, potato, alcohol, any sweet drinks.

You can eat as much as you want:
Any kind of meat  or meat products, fish, eggs (cooked in any style), any vegetables except those from the list above.

Some guide lines:
  • Add lemon juice or olive oil to salads
  • Fry only using olive oil
  • Do not drink after meals for 30 minutes
  • Do not eat after 8 PM
  • Eat at least 5 times a day.
Hyper protein Diet

This diet lasts for 1 month and consists of two stages. You will lose about 15 pounds.

First stage

1st day: eat only fruits and drink only water.

2nd - 9th days: eat only protein foods and no alcohol.
On the 4th day your body starts burning fat.

List of protein foods:
Very high protein (more than 15 g): cheese, low fat cottage cheese, red meat, chicken, most fish, soy, beans, nuts.
High protein (10-15 g): cottage cheese, pork, eggs, oatmeal cereal, buckwheat cereal, millet cereal, wheat flour, frankfurters
Medium protein (5-9.9 g): rye and wheat bread, barley cereal, rice, green peas
Low protein (2-4.9 g): milk, kefir, sour cream, ice cream, spinach, potato, cauliflower
Very low protein (0.4-1.9 g): vegetables, fruits, berries, mushrooms

10th - 24th days: follow food combining. Add physical exercises, including 20 minues of jogging.

Here are some rules for food combining:

Don't mix starch foods with protein foods at the same meal.

1. Eat starches and acids at separate meals. Acids neutralize the alkaline medium required for starch digestion and the result is indigestion and fermentation.

2. Eat carbohydrate foods and protein foods at separate meals. Protein foods require an acid medium for digestion.

3. Eat only one kind of protein food at a meal.

4. Eat proteins and acid foods at separate meals. The acids of acid foods inhibit the secretion of the digestive acids required for protein digestion. Undigested proteins putrefy in bacterial decomposition and produces some potent poisons.

5. Eat proteins and fats at separate meals. Some foods, especially nuts, are over 50% fat and require hours for digestion.

6. Eat proteins and sugars (fruits) at separate meals.

7. Eat starchy foods and sugars (fruits) at separate meals. Fruits undergo no digestion in the stomach and are held up if eaten with foods which require digestion in the stomach.

8. Eat melons alone. Melons combine with almost no other food.

9. Forget the desserts. Eaten on top of meals they lie heavy on the stomach, requiring no digestion there, and ferment. Bacteria turn them into alcohols, acetic acids and vinegars.

Second stage

25th day: water and fruits
Next 7 days: only protein foods.

HEALTH TIP

Short term high-protein diets are generally safe for healthy adults.

Consult your doctor first: Before you start a high protein, low carb diet plan, you may want to get a doctor's advice. Though this diet is generally healthy, you might have a health condition that requires a low protein diet. A doctor can recommend you to a nutritionist who can design a personalized meal plan for you.

Watch out for mood changes: People who follow a high protein diet often experiences drastic mood changes. So if you have a tendency to be moody to begin with then this type of diet might not be for you.

Intellectual capacity: A diet that contains high proteins with fewer carbs may affect your intellectual capacity. People who have followed this diet have reported a slight reduction in their mental capacities. If your job requires mental acuity then following this diet may not be a wise choice.

Fatigue: A low carb diet can result to fatigue. Carbohydrates is the body's source of energy so the absence of carbohydrates in the diet can lead to feelings of exhaustion and fatigue. This is therefore not recommended for athletes and people who do physical work. The best thing here is to make sure that you are getting the right amount of carbs that you need.
