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 . 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:
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.
You are even “allowed to eat the bad food”, such as eggs, burgers, bacons, etc., with lots of fat.
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.
Luckily, there is a very healthy way to loose weight and to increase your chances to keep it off. thenewyouatl.com offers you with solutions that will help you to shed those extra pounds easily and healthily with the help of aerobics, diet meal plan, a personal trainer, body building and much more.

Eat healthy.
Think about what you’re going to eat. Keep away from packaged food. Here are some tips to think about: -Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, and grain products like bread and rice. Eat only small, single servings of foods high in fat or calories. Eat less sugar and fewer sweets. Drink less alcohol or no alcohol. Choose foods whose labels say low, light or reduced to describe calories or fat. Choose 1 percent or skim milk products and reduced fat cheeses. Replace ice cream with fat-free frozen yoghurt. Replace sour cream with fat-free or low-fat plain yoghurt. Make sure fish, poultry and meat is lean. Trim skin and fat. Broil, roast or steam foods.

Join a group.
If you need some extra support and guidance, then join one of your local weight watcher groups. They will teach you everything you need to know and help you on a weekly basis. This is also a good way to meet and make new friends.
