ABOUT THE
DIET
Back To Top
The Protein Power diet was developed in the 1990s by Michael and
Mary Eades. It is based on the concept of diet success through high
protein and low carbohydrate intake, much like the Atkins Diet and so many other diets popular
today. High protein foods are
encouraged throughout the diet.
DIET
GUIDELINES
Back To Top
The diet is broken down into three stages:
Stage 1 - Intervention: This stage is based on very low
consumption of carbohydrates. This
stage continues until you close in on your ideal weight.
Stage 2 - Transition: In this stage, carbohydrates are
slowly consumed more and more as you near your ideal weight.
Stage 3 - Maintenance: This is the stage where you are to
determine the exact amount of carbohydrates to consume to maintain
your ideal body weight.
EXERCISE
DURING THE DIET
Back To Top
The Protein Power diet recommends exercises such as lifting
weights to maintain muscle mass, as well as short periods of
intense cardio activity.
ADVANTAGES
OF THE DIET
Back To Top
If you follow this diet, you are certain to lose weight quickly.
As well, it is a step ahead of other diets such as the Sugar Busters Diet and the Hollywood Diet in the sense that it does
have some scientific evidence which points in its favour.
DISADVANTAGES OF THE
DIET
Back To Top
This diet limits carbs, and any diet that limits carbs limits
overall calories as a result and is certain to result in weight
gain. Also, weight lost in this way is normally largely water and
will come back quickly once off the diet. Also, like so many other
diets, by cutting calories, it cuts back healthy foods and is not a
good diet to follow over extended periods of time.
CONCLUSION
Back To Top
This diet is semi-restrictive, and as a result, you may find
yourself going hungry throughout the diet. This type of diet, like
the Atkins Diet is easy to follow and
will produce good results in the short term. However, if you have
long term goals, you may want to consider looking further. If your
goals are only temporary weight loss, then certainly this diet is
worth giving a try.
