The current trend of high protein diets goes back to 1967. The idea was for the dieter to drink partially digested liquid protein as a meal or for all meals. Now, I was around to see results from this diet. The initial results were fantastic for the dieter. They lost a lot of weight quickly. It was meant to be for limited use - not long term. But, if something worked, why change it? So, many dieters stayed on the diet for long periods of time.

This diet put your body into ketosis, which was a goal of the diet. People urinated on ph strips to check if they were ketotic. Ketosis is a condition that can happen to your body, without getting into a big explanation of it, but it is considered a medical condition. Now it turns out the liquid protein diet lacked essential nutrients. It was low in calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, sodium, potassium, and copper. Some people on the diet died a sudden death. A 1979 study of 17 of these deaths (16 which were female ) was done by the American Heart Association. The conclusions were the main culprit was a very low level of copper in the victim's system. Copper is needed for the heart to contract. It was decided that these dieters died of sudden heart failure, due to low copper levels. There were also many reports of kidney failure. The product was eventually recalled.

The original Atkin's Diet book was published in 1972. It took the idea of the liquid protein diet and changed it up a little. This way it was not so severe. In it, you could eat as much as you wanted, as long as you were not eating carbohydrates. In fact Atkin's wrote, " his diet is so perfectly adapted to as a lifetime diet that, unlike most diets, the weight won't come back." This was said without any long term studies.

Atkin's diet was republished in 1992 as Dr. Atkins's Diet Revolution. Again, it is extremely popular, because of rapid weight loss. Again it proposes eat all you want, just not carbohydrates, and you will lose weight. This is not necessarily true. In reality, it is the same old equation- calories in must be less than calories out - to lose weight. Now the thing Atkin's has going for it is that One's appetite is more satisfied with fats in the diet rather than carbohydrates. According to the American Heart Association, Atkin's type diet is not good for permanent weight loss. They state perhaps high cabohydrate - low fat would be better. Low carbohydrate and high activity levels do not work together. One needs carbohydrates to effectively exercise. Preferably do not eat refined carbohydrates (white bread,white sugar, etc ).

The best way to permanent weight loss is slow and sure, through a balanced healthy diet and exercise.
