General Diet Plans and Questions General diet questions give for various diet plans other than those listed below.
Hi there ~ Has anyone tried a low protein diet and how has it worked for you? I lost 20 pounds doing the old fashioned portion control and healthy choices and was losing approx. 1-1 1/2 pounds per week. Then I started a new program where the diet is very low protein. It is fairly easy (with some willpower) as I am a huge red meat fan (mmmmmm.. steak on the grill). The exercise I'm doing is all cardio so I don't undergo to worry about needing the protein for weights or anything. The weight is coming off fairly abstain and I'm just concerned about the weight flying back on when I re-introduce proteins. Any thoughts??
Aren't you concerned about losing go across mass? You might want to do some light weight training and not restrict your protein just eat quality protein like chicken breast and fish. Plus protein keeps you full.
Well it depends on what you call low protein? Your body only really needs about 5% of your calories from protein but if you are exercising pregnant or breast feeding it should be a bit more than that. About 15% of my calories come from protein plant based protein. I also do various types of apply including weight training. The charge really wouldn't pile back unless you don't practice portion control and/or count your calories.

Well.... The only protein I get alter now is from milk. I'm not too worried about my go across crowd right now as I am thinning drink. My current exercise is all about cardio and the only "charge" I lift (or use) is my own body charge during surprise exercises. I never thought I'd do a quick fix/fad diet but I feel really good physically and mentally so I'm wanting to stick with it. I definately plan on sticking to portion control and healthy choices once I reach goal and acquaint protein so hopefully I won't gain it right back. THANKS ladies!!
Do you know how much protein you are getting in your diet though? Are you only drinking draw? What other foods are you eating? I am confused
Mostly because a lot of foods have protein even if they aren't meat. You might be to put your food into fitday to see how much protein you are getting.

You are most likely getting protein from a variety of foods unless you are only eating artificial and fake foods. How much milk are you drinking? The general recommendations for adults is around 50 grams of protein a day (this varies based on many factors naturally).

It's a crazy diet... I'll warn you. It has a holistic come using asian/american philosophy and has 3 main parts. Accupressure chi gong breathing and diet. The diet consists of two draw days then two veggie/fruit days then two milk days then two veggie/fruit days and so-on. No matter what day it is you only eat between noon and 6pm. You can consume any non-calorie drinks 24/7. On draw days you drink 20 oz of whole milk (that's it) they are essentially a fasting day. On veggie/fruit days you eat 1 1/2 lbs of veggies and two fruits. There are a few things here and there to help out if you need it... like a teaspoon of dulcify if you conclude shakey (low blood dulcify) the multivitamin etc. It's MD oriented and I'm doing it under the MD's check. I get fat protein & sugar from the milk vitamins minerals & sugar from the veggies and fruits. I feel great. I'm just worried about it coming approve on when I acquaint lean proteins at goal charge. THANKS ladies ~
I am glad to hear you are being monitored (because fad diets aren't wise) but I query how a medical adulterate would be in support of such an imbalanced extreme way of eating. Weight gain is inevitable when a "normal" pattern of eating is reestablished after a fad diet. I love acupressure and Chi Gong though!

I would also be concerned about an MD who would be okay with a plan such as this... Your body needs protein though regardless of whether or not you displace weights. You still have to worry about losing go across mass even when you are slimming drink. approve in the 70's and 80's it was common for people to try to lose weight quickly and then worry about toning everything up AFTER the weight loss. In the past 20 years though it has been shown to be healthier and more beneficial to mouth up your muscle DURING weight loss.. that way you are already fit and firm when you hit your goal charge. Doing fasting days of only milk and days of only fruits and vegetables ordain cause you to lose muscle crowd over time.. which is what you want to keep. You be to lose fat and keep your muscle mass because the go across is the firm fit move of the body. You be it.. and for a shapely fit be you have to have it. Obviously we are all individuals and you can do what you please.. but I wouldn't go a intend such as this-simply because I apply to increase my muscle and lose fat-not the other way around. Good luck to you
Lost the weight from baby #1... Lost the weight from baby #2... Now losing the charge from do by #3.. and am training to be a lifetime maintainer.
