Protein Power began in 1995, with the writing
of the first book, by Drs. Eades, a doctor couple who did plenty
of their own research and discovery to develop their diet plan.
The book was then followed up with several revisions, and other
forms to maintain any popularity it had picked up.
The plan is simple, and shares several
characteristics with other low-carb diets, such as Atkins. However,
one major difference between Atkins and Protein Power is their
philosophies regarding ketosis. Atkins makes ketosis the
focal point of its induction phase, whereas Protein Power does
not require it at all. And this is not to say that you won't experience
ketosis while doing Protein Power, yet it is not your goal while
beginning the program.
Another difference is the goal of the two
programs. Atkins is designed as a weight loss and management diet,
whereas Protein Power is not primarily for weight loss as it is
meant to promote top physical shape.
The method behind Protein Power deals with
calculations outlined in the book, that have to do with your levels
of activity, and then give you limits for your carb intake, as
well as minimums for your protein intake.
Overall, this diet cannot be recommended
because of the high fat intake and the problems associated with
low carbohydrate consumption.
