| One among so many reasons why the low carb, high protein diets fail is that they lack sufficient quantities of the many nutrients and antioxidants found in vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes, which are necessary for your health and aiding in prevention of diseases like cancer and heart diseases. The fact is, you need these nutrients even more, when you are consuming too much fat which is so often the case while on a low carbohydrate, high protein diet.
Already, more than twice the amount of protein needed is consumed by an average American. Add to that a high protein diet and the protein consumption is way too much. What most people fail to realize is that all the vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes also contains protein. To add to this, animal products contain larger quantities of protein, which may not be a good thing.
All these excess dietary protein puts you at a higher risk for many health problems, such as Gout (painful joints from high protein foods), kidney stones, kidney diseases, osteoporosis (being very common in females and caused due to the leeching of calcium from bones the reason being excess dietary protein). Researches show that countries with lower and healthier intake of protein have a decreased incidence of osteoporosis.
So why is there this low carb, high protein craze? Well there are some reasons to it:
1. Weight loss (mostly due to the loss of muscle and muscle fluid) during the first few weeks is often rapid. This makes you think you are loosing fat rapidly from your body.
2. You are even “allowed to eat the bad food”, such as eggs, burgers, bacons, etc., with lots of fat.
3. You think that its happening, the magic is happening! You are reducing after all. What you forget is that you are not reducing the healthy way.
