Protein Power

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.
