A high protein diet consisting chiefly of animal proteins may cancel out any benefits, increasing bad cholesterol and impacting the circulatory system.
It may cause very serious issues for individuals with particular health issues or diseases, such as those with kidney disease.
A high protein diet creates an excess of protein consumption in the daily diet thus triggering a dietary imbalance by replacing or decreasing fruit, vegetable and grain food group consumption while increasing fat intake.
This diet is generally low in caloric intake and may trigger excess calcium excretions in the body which as mentioned above can create serious issues for those with certain health conditions, including hidden health conditions.
Carbs rule over proteins as being the best food choice before activity, providing glucose to muscle cells and fuel for energy.
A 150 pound man requires about 50 grams of protein daily, but on average almost two times that amount is consumed by the American male. On average, American males consume 105 protein grams daily while females consume about 65 protein grams daily.
To get the best nutritional and weight results, Diet Bites advises a balanced diet that concentrates on all the healthy food groups housed within the official food pyramid.
Protein diets, carb diets, extreme low fat diets, one food diets - each have the potential to spin the body out of balance.
By embracing the official food pyramid and a daily diet which remains in balance, the dieter is more apt to be healthier as well as more satisfied with their daily diet than when opting for off-beat one-food, one-element diet plans.
