Answers:
Time magazine (May 5th 2004) forever with its finger on the pulse has identified the potential harms that might result from prolonged dedication to the high protein diet. Too much protein has the ability to leech protein from bones leading to an increased risk for developing osteoporosis. Diets that are devoid of fruit and limited exposure to vegetables as carbohydrates have to be restricted might lead to essential nutrient deficiencies. Then there are the dangers of a high saturated fat diet, which might result in the formation of cholesterol deposits that block up blood vessels. The interesting thing about the high protein diet is that a recent television show screened in the UK which attempted to identify the core reason for weight loss with this diet found that the primary reason for this diets success was the reduced calories people were consuming when on a high protein diet. What an excessive amount of protein in the diet does is to switch on satiety early on so that fullness is experienced after the consumption of limited portions of food and therefore less is eaten and weight loss results. To put it simply this is what all weight loss programmes tell us. To lose weight you have to eat less and high protein diets make this easier to achieve. Whether this type of diet is actually healthy for us is up for debate.
