High protein diets compared to current weight loss diet recommendations. Diet% Carbohydrate% Protein% FatCalories Current Diet Recommended for Weight Loss (4-8) 55 or more1530 or less 500-1,000 below usual intake per day Enter The Zone (5) ,300 for women 1,700 for men Sugar Busters (6) ,200 Dr. Atkins’New Diet Revolution (7) ,500 Protein Power (8) ,400 Note: Figures were obtained by the respective diet book or by analyzing a sample daily menu. When protein portions were not listed, a 6-oz. serving was assumed. When fruit or vegetable portions were not listed, a ½ cup serving was assumed.

The Good within some of the high- protein/low carbohydrate plans: Enter The Zone by Barry Sears, Ph.D. Drink water, exercise, and snack. Some fat is necessary.

Protein Power by Michael R. Eades, M.D., and Mary Dan Eades, M.D. Recommend exercising and drinking a lot of water.

Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution by Robert C. Atkins, M.D. Stresses benefits of exercise. Recommends medical check-up.

Sugar Busters! by H.L. Steward; M.C. Bethea, M.D.; S.S. Andrews, M.D.; and L.A. Balart, M.D. Allows whole grains and some vegetables.

What the consumer needs to know: It’s the low calorie, not the high protein, that causes the weight loss. Rapid weight loss experienced is WATER weight. Meaningful weight loss should be slow and gradual. Long term use of these diets could lead to health problems.

The results of these diets are temporary. Need a maintenance plan. Negative effects of yo-yo dieting. High-protein diets are not recommended by professional and medical associations.

How to recognize a Fad Diet Magic or miracle foods that burn fat. Bizarre quantities of only one food or type of food. Rigid menus. Specific food combinations. Rapid weight loss of more than 2 pounds a week. No warning for people with diabetes or high blood pressure.

How about maintaining weight loss?
