So your neighbor, office mate, best friend, whoever just lost 10 pounds in only two weeks following latest in high protein low carbohydrate diets. And now you’re thinking you should give it a go -- have even started search for high protein low carbohydrate recipes? True, high protein low carb diets seem to be leading many people to weight loss success. Trouble is, they seemed to do it 30 years ago, too. They were rage in early 70s, and look where many of us are today: growing fatter with each decade. The bottom line: Diets -- low carb diets or not -- simply don’t work for vast majority of people. If that doesn't convince you, look at some of reasons why high protein low carbohydrate diets seem to create weight loss success stories -- but really don't. “I’m not hungry when I eat high protein low carb diets.” Many people say they feel more satisfied eating low carbohydrate diets. And indeed, studies show protein is most satiating nutrient. Proteins and fat (which is usually in high protein low carbohydrate foods) cause your body to release cholecystokinin, a hormone that contributes to feeling of fullness. Some protein in meals and even snacks may help us feel more satisfied and go longer between eating. But key word is “some.” We don’t need an excess of protein, or low carb diets, to get these effects. By just eating balanced meals that contain grain/starchy foods, protein foods, vegetables and/or fruits and some fat, most people can achieve same satiety. One other important note is that hunger control with low carbohydrate diets is often result of ketosis (when your body burns fat for fuel.) Ketosis is very unhealthy, causing nausea, headaches, fatigue, even coma.
