A high-protein diet encourages eating more protein and fewer carbohydrates or fat to boost weight loss, improve energy, and enhance athletic performance. Protein is an essential nutrient for health. It is responsible for a number of important functions in the body, including hormones, enzymes, and cell repair and maintenance.Per Women’s Health, high-protein diets lead to weight loss because the human body does more work to digest and metabolize proteins than other food substances. In the process, more calories are burned.
The stomach also feels full fast and for a longer period of time thanks to the high-protein foods being consumed in this diet.There are some distinct advantages that come with this type of diet, but there are some disadvantages that must be considered as well to determine if making this life change is a good choice to make. The Pros of a High Protein Diet.
1. The initial weight loss is immediate. People can lose 10+ pounds on a high protein diet almost immediately.If well-planned, a high-protein diet may also help you eat healthier in general.
A March 2017 study in Advances in Nutrition shows that protein can replace unhealthy ultra-processed food, like refined grains, saturated fat and added sugars.Several research studies suggest that a high protein diet promotes fat loss from the body and initiates muscle growth. High protein diets boost metabolism, decrease hunger, keep you full, and preserve muscle mass.
While an 8-ounce yogurt contains about 11 grams of protein and a glass of milk around 8, a 3-ounce piece of meat includes up to 21 grams of protein. Eating too much protein can have unwanted side-effects, so find out more about the pros and cons of high protein diets before trying one yourself. Pro: Fast Weight Loss.Some protein sources like fatty cuts of meat, whole dairy products, and other high-fat foods can raise cholesterol, increasing your chance of heart disease.
However, studies showed that.Caiaimage/Paul Bradbury/Getty Images. The Protein Power diet is a low-carb plan developed by doctors Michael and Mary Dan Eades. As outlined in their book, “Protein Power,” the Eades’ diet focuses on high protein, moderate fat, and low carbs (similar to the Schwarzbein Principle Diet).While this version of the diet required counting carbs and protein, the authors later provided an.
The Medi-Weightloss program revolves around a high-protein diet with minimal carbohydrates, with no mention of how much fat you should be eating. The program states that it works to get you into a state of ketosis (in which your body burns fat for fuel instead of sugar), but getting and staying in ketosis is a finely tuned process and it’s not.A high-protein diet. Increasing your protein intake can lead to increased muscle mass and increased metabolism, as well as other benefits (we’ll get into those below).
What’s more, it’s not a.There is also evidence that short-term high-protein diets can place a strain on your kidneys by causing a buildup of acid, and may also cause kidney stones. Most studies of high-protein diets have not lasted longer than one year, so the long-term effects of consuming this type of diet are not well understood.The 3-day diet—also called the 3 day Military Diet or Military Diet for short—is an extremely calorie-restricted diet that limits intake to less than 1,000 calories per day. More than anything, it promises to help you lose body fat in no time at all.
Pros of the high protein diet High protein diets are very useful in the process of weight loss. Certain types of diets can cut down 13.5 kg just in 28 days. It is very essential to have protein, as it is needed for various types of activities in the body.Per Women’s Health, high-protein diets lead to weight loss because the human body does more work to digest and metabolize proteins than other food substances.In the process, more calories are burned.
The stomach also feels full fast and for a longer period of time thanks to the high-protein foods being consumed in this diet.There is so much literature out there saying “yes” to a high protein diet and how it helps satisfies ones hunger pains. But in the next breath, you stumble upon research that says “no” to a high protein diet and that it is best to have a variety from all food group sources.

Hey jeff please make a video on weather if it is ok to consume raw whey,or you need to take digestive enzymes with it?
Can anyone please send me the real glycemic scale, I am having trouble finding it!
Instead of linking only the promo items, it’d help (& help your credibility as well) if you post(ed) links to scientific research articles, incl. your own, which you referenced…
No wonder i have pee a lot more even in the gym i had to stop exercise to go pee and i lost 5kilos in a week. With restricted carb and low calorie
Hi Dr Maggs, could you please dispel some conflicting information. I have been told by a dr friend that consumption of fat as the highest percentage of your diet does not make sense as the body will need to burn/consume this before it uses stored body fat. Therefore, those fat calories are competing and preventing weight loss. Another friend claims that the body uses the reserves first and that the calories ingested as fat are not converted into stored body fat if there is an excess. Which of these is correct? If it is the latter, how is this chemically possible? Love your videos. 😉
not convinced but doesnt change anything for me i fix my protein intake at 90 grams a day
What would you recommend for a feeling of weakness in the wrist and knees, lots of popping in wrist too. Been vegan over 5 years and train 3 or 4 days a week consistently. Love to do handstands and all that but sometimes my wrist bothers me too much, no sprain or breaks either.
currently lean bulking.
my workout-day calories: 2800kcal
my rest-day calories: 2400kcal
Height: 6.2 / 188cm
Weight: 184.5 Lbs
According to a complex DEXA I did in Moscow in the winter-break, I had 12.9 % fat and 6.9% on the INBODY-test (which of course is way off at times)
I have a SLIGHT bit of stubborn fat on the stomach from my weight loss I did in 2019 (83lbs) yet i’m doing abs 2times a week with some obliques aswell. Eating more carbs on workout days, less on restdays. 200-220g of protein every day.
Currently been lean bulking for 3 weeks and gained some weight. What would you recommend for me to do in order to get a crisp physique with great ab definition for the summer? My diet is completely clean. All macros in their place. It’s just that I have little to no ab definition yet the skin stretching through my obliques are tight. I’m suggesting myself to lean bulk until middle of May and then cut till July. Would you recommend this? I’ve seen a lot of results in the gym lately by progressive overload but really trying to maximize the best approach for my goal before July.
I trained without any supplement for over 5 years. Good results. Then I started taking a small amount of protein powder with milk twice a day, adding about 50 grams of protein a day about 3 months ago. I did notice a rather big difference. Body getting leaner, injury less often, recovery MUCH faster. I weigh 160lbs and I take about 80-110 grams of proteins depends on the food I consume other than the powder. I am content with this result and I will never, ever ramp up intake to what so called sports professionals suggest. Taking 1 gram per pound is just scarily unnatural. I doubt any race in any historical period had access to that much protein…
Sir please make videos on protein digestion i face lots of problem in digesting protien after trying many things like apple cider vinegar,high fiber diet water intake nothing seems to work
Do these gram per kilo recommendations apply to lean body mass or total body mass?
That’s really great….
I know high protein diet or high protein consumption do not affect on body, means our kidneys it will really helpful for womens also….
Thank u Sir… From India….
Hold on, did you say that a diet high in sugar doesn’t contribute to diabetes? I don’t think that is a myth.
Athletes need only 0.6 to 0.8 if not on colonic deficit and it’s agreed all around the world by dietions and sports and conditioning coach’s
To get too heavy unnatural muscle mass, need unnatural powders:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHZtvNxEx5s
2.2 grams per kilo? But does this also apply to a person that is overweight? I weigh 96 kilo and that would mean that I would eat 211 grams of protein a day! I now eat around 80-115 g/day and I would really struggle to eat much more than that! Isn’t there a limit when a person is overweight???? I mean..what about people that weigh even more than me? Shouldn’t I count on the weight I want to be instead? Like 68 kgx2.2=150 grams. That sounds more plausible to me? I really want feedback on this, thanks!��
I might have missed it, but could you include a link to the studies next time?
Awesome video! Gonna watch it again. Just curious when you are on high protein, do you consider ever using powders like soy or pea, or you get enough just from the lentils, etc? Maybe I missed it, but what do you consider higher protein intake? Like I said, I have to watch it again, so much information in this video.:)
I recently started the Anabolic Diet, and you described the ‘purpose’ of getting the body into ketosis better than anyone online…ever. Thank you.
Could you make a video about diabetes in general? Not really related to myths nor bodybuilding, but it would be interesting.
Type 2 diabetes IS caused by to much insulin, which is caused by too much sugar….
Doc can we build as much as muscle with calorie deficit vs calorie surplus while taking same amount of protein?
I have fairly recently done a swing in my diet to lose a bit of stomachfat and lovehandles, I do try and stay away from carbs as much as possible but some carbs slips trough of course (but not much) how long time does it usually take before you start to see any changes? I know that everyone is diffrent but mainly an estimate. I have been eating like this now for 1 week. Thanks!
Great video.Anyone having high serum urea when going on high protein diet?
I think we need 10 grams per half a pound of bodyweight like what Rich Piana said
Dude I just discovered your channel. You and Jeff of athleanx are my fav now! Keep it up!
I was always generally tired. Flabby after eating, it would often make me dizzy. Now with this new diet, I’m fresh and less hungry. My life is now enriched and energized. My intelligence is now brighter and calmer. Thank you for your advice and whiteness, I am very grateful
I tried vegan and vegetarian and ended up with low thyroid and felt all fucked up. Went back to eating meat, problem solved. Never again.
I’m confused on why he keeps flipping between kilograms and grams.
For me, the desire to cut down the carbs came completely naturally once I realized that a sandwich as a snack makes me even more hungry before lunch than if I wouldn’t eat anything. Since then, I started to notice my body’s reactions to food high in carbs, and I am trying to avoid it, cause that hyperglycemia I used to get was really horrible.. The only thing that doesn’t have such a strong hyperglycemic effect on me, tho, is pasta, and I love pasta super much, so I am giving it a pass for now:)
I have been Intermittent Fasting for a couple of years typically on a 19:5 or 20:4 fast to feast ratio. I love the life style and It really makes a difference in my insulin levels. But with insulin resistance sometimes our insulin levels don’t always drop to the level that non-insulin resistant people’s level do during the fasting period. I have found through experimenting that incorporating a low carb plan in addition to my IF has been the key to a healthier life style and weight loss. Just found your channel and subbed right away.
high protein low carb is easier and ure not starving or obsessing over the calorie count!!
Really good explanation. I’m Naturopathic Medical Doctor licensed in Arizona, US. I’ve always considered insulin only when dealing with Diabetics. I never put it all together as you have done in this video. I will definitely pass this one.
Nice bro great video and I can relate lower protein but high carb helped me gain muscle and stay ripped but I got stuck at a certain point with increasing my muscle mass further until I switched to eat way more protein alongside the high carb vegan diet.
I really enjoy your videos and you make it easy to understand. I do need help!
I don’t consider myself big on carb but i do have sweet tooth. As i work as a cook the only 2 meals i control and keep healthy is breakfast and lunch and I either skip dinner or snak.
I always struggle with belly fat and am tired of it. Some days no matter how much I eat I still feel hungry:(
Please help!
Once you increase your protein you will notice your hair is thicker too.
This is my first week on Keto, I’m kind of worried about high cholesterol though!!
3m54s Sugar does play central causative role in the development of diabetes!
Just started a Low carb diet (0-20g of carbs per day) and intermittent fasting (16/8)
Great video. As an Apprentice Nurse Associate coming into the nursing profession it’s frustrating seeing so many people suffering from metabolic syndrome and getting inappropriate advice. I have heard that the Eat Well Plate might be reviewed soon. Do you have any more information on this? Thanks.
I agree that high carb is a spiral problem because the more carbs you eat the more you desire to eat. Very true. It also causes cravings that do not happen in the lo-carb environment. Great video and discussion of this subject. BUT lo-carb is one issue, but what restrictions should one place on the other macro-nutrients (fat & protein). I believe I have read that lo-carb PLUS calorie management is the best combo. But there is very little discussion once one embraces lo-carb (or KETO) on what the remainder of the diet should look like; some say eat all you want of fatty foods and others are less “over the top” on that issue. Where is truth? I KNOW that carbs cause insulin rushes that cause me to crash…but how much of the other two categories should I consume?
Thank you! You’ve mentioned hormones. It is said that different food increases estrogen and other increases testosteron. Would it be supportive for a man to concentrate on eating more food that increases testosteron if he wants to reduce his body fat (and doing exercises, of course)? Thanks.
I start Low Card 2 weeks ago so now i decided to no sugar for all 1 week so i can see how my body will burn fat in seek of sugar. i just start eating hi protein product, the first day i feel hunger all the time. do you have something to educate me in my journey in weight lose and new way of life.
I’ve heard that if you eat your fruits after your meal, you’re not going to get the vitamins, in fact its bad for you
Beautiful man, please do yourself and us a favor by getting your hair professionally cut. Then I could finally listen to the content.
Our closest relatives in the animal kingdom, primates consume minimal protein but eat mostly fruits and nuts.
That explains a lot! I started a low carb diet 2 days ago and noticed that I started peeing a lot. I was wondering what was going on. Lol. Thanks!
Hello Dr Maggs, i love your uploads and have subscribed to your channel. I’ve been on a low carb diet for 25 days and have shed 17.5lbs. My current weight was 15st 8.5lbs and now it’s 14st 5lbs (sorry but i’m old school). I am 49 years old and my height is 5ft 11inches. My BMI was bordering overweight to obese which scared me because i don’t want type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol or risk of a stroke. I want to lose 50lbs for when i reach 50 years of age so it’s a 50 for 50. My target is 12st. By doing the low carb diet i cannot tell you how happy i feel, inside and out. Your information is priceless and anyone considering to lose weight should try your low carb diet. It REALLY WORKS, thank you so much!
Hi Dr Maggs!�� im from philippines and I really love your videos because its very informative and easy to understand about the keto diet �� thank you Dr Maggs!❤️��
Jeff! Not doing MBM anymore? Was wondering how studies you’ve found show red light therapy effective?
I’ve been low carb eating for years to keep my weight in check as I get older. I like how you explain the process and decided to share this video on my Facebook timeline in hopes that some of my friends can start educating themselves about what their body is doing when they eat. I’ll probably binge watch a bunch of your videos lol. Thank you for making them.
And if i had kidney stones, could i consume whey protein without harm?
Dr. Maggs I’m learning soooo much from you about the KETO diet great content..Also you’re voice.. Sooooo sexy and Soothing!��������..
Say skeletal like you would Skeletor, the bad guy from He-man, not ske lee tal. Great info, though. love the channel.
No way a high protein diet can HELP the kidney maybe it doesn’t damage it if you’re healthy but help it no way
Been on a Low carb hi fat diet. Never felt better. I have lost 13 kgs in 3 months. Was not seriously overweight but needed to loose the flab around the tummy area. I go hard on organic butter, Cream, Cream cheese, Bacon with fat, Steak with fat. Veggies. Exercise regular. Drink lots of water. Not forgetting my drop of Whiskey with it. You are 100% correct dan now that I’ve been on this diet mission I am slowly starting to eat less, not crave junk foods and fast for much longer. Amazing journey thus far.Great vid keep em coming.
i did keto for a year.. 5 months lost 42 pounds,, 7 months lost nothing……. jan 2nd… started Carnivore.. hoping to get leaner
I don’t agree with what she says. The all or nothing approach isn’t very practical in either direction low fat or low carb. If your over Weight ultra low fat (<10% calories from fat, >80% from carbs) works best. That was how I lost 45lbs without dieting or counting calories or going hungry. But after about two years eating that way for some reason I stated to slowly gain the weight back (as in, 10lbs gained in a year). But I’m still very good weight wise. I got almost too thin eating ultra low fat, then I was having hormonal problems, lost menstration, heart arrhythmia. I have no clue what is causing those issues but upping my fat to a more balanced 60% carbs, 30% fat or so (I don’t worry about protein… it’s in everything I eat) I found my body feels much better. My weight gains have stopped and even gone back down a little. So I think it’s simply a matter of eating a Balanced diet, of whole natural unprocessed foods. Skip the soda, potato chips and Doritos and opt instead for brown rice with steamed vegetables, sautéed tofu topped with a cashew cream sauce.
This is great info, because in the nursing program I’m in, they STILL believe that high protein intake can possibly lead to kidney damage in HEALTHY adults with healthy kidneys.
Please do one about weight training for teens will stunt your growth
Look at those effing eyes! I noticed them in his video, “The Cavity Healing Diet.” // Yea, I had to google acro to see what he was talking about. It’s a type of yoga, yoga and acrobatics. // Okay, no more low-protein diet. // 186 lbs, 60 grams of protein a day seems to be the min.at 4 minutes. At 5 mins he’s up to 180 grams of protein a day. // Nice: 179 pounds. // BUT 180 grams of protein a day by eating nuts vegan powder protein and nuts???!!!
Myth Buster: Is the average guys who gyms 4-5 times a week required to consume 1.5 x body mass of protein (in grams) per days? e.g.: 70kg guy would need to consume 105g of protein per day, even when not working out…
I have really strong, gnawing hunger right before bed and I often eat some groats, barley or oats sometimes with peanut butter. I lose control at night. Why?
The key point is that high protein has an acid ash, and acidosis (even mild acidosis) does, other things being equal, increase loss of lean tissues including bone. See papers by Sebastian and others, pubmed. Acidosis also hurts the kidneys. All easily preventable by increasing veggie intake, or by taking bicarb, preferably potassium bicarb. And remember tomato paste: cheap, highly-concentrated, convenient alkaline veggies.
Thank you for this very informative video. i enjoy watching your videos.
Happy New Year everyone! Hope you have a nice relaxing day! Please let me know any common myths you’d like to hear me cover in a future episode (I’m taking notes)
I’ve just joined. I was concerned about my kidney. I’m on immune suppressants. This video is great. I only lose weight on protein diets.
adding wim hofs breathing exercise from time to time can balance that acidity imo
Ha you’re using fake weights. Good job fooling people frutarian boy.
Kudos for the video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you thought about Ponnordaz Impressive Remedy (should be on google have a look)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for discovering how to pack on solid muscle mass without the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my buddy finally got great results with it.
I just subscribed!!! I just love you!! I love the way you fully explain everything!!!!
Just found your channel and I like your content! I noticed you haven’t uploaded in awhile.. are you planning on coming back? I’ll sub if you do:-) Thanx!
What about runners who enjoy 10k two or three time’s a week. Does keto work for us?
I think we should stop calling this a diet…. rather… A Way of Life..!!
How the heck do you get 170 grams of protein on a vegan calorie restricted diet? And without trashing the gut? Best regards from Sweden!��
At 3:30 please don’t believe him. Extremely high protein diet can make your blood nitrogenous from excessive protein consumption. Kidney problems or not it’s never good to do damage to your kidneys. Although you only need 1/3 of a kidney to live, why hurt yourself? Many more people will watch this video than see this comment:( be safe.
Hey, I’m following this diet of having Food in 2hrs and fast for 22hrs. The only food I’ve been having is chicken (approximately 900g in 3days) and I’ve reduced around 6 kgs in the past 2 weeks with no exercise. I’m wondering if I’m doing anything wrong, if I am can you please correct me?
Are there other ways to do the intermittent fasting so I don’t have to skip breakfast?
I’ve been doing very well on a low carb/low calorie diet. I’ve heard that high insulin and high blood sugar causes fat storage (assuming you are not running a marathon). The plant based diet people claim that their high carb diet works fine as long as you have no fat or protein which might cause high insulin. I assume that high carb food always cause high blood sugar. Are their high carb plant foods that cause high blood sugar but don’t cause high insulin? No way am I going to try to find them.
great content.. found your channel from neoshred comment section.
Plus I played a plastic surgyn for a tummy tuck Lipo suction in 3 areas and every time I deal with that plastic surgyn I come out weighing 10 pounds more I went to him and paid him a lot of money for no reason to look worse then when I went in and to weigh 31 pounds more and I told the medical staff not to give me a blood transfusion or a sugar I v and the weight gain is always with an a few days after surgery and i never have lost it and I was told it’s sarcoma or swelling just so I could have another surgery to put drains in to gain another 10 pounds with each surgery I went in weighing 163 after all the surgeries 194 even Lipo suction diddent work for me not even a tummy tuck I spent a lot of money and got ripped off i diddent get what I paid for or asked for the surgyn just did what he wanted to and it is very cruel people can be very cruel they want the money but theybdont want to do the work you paid them for they just want to do what’s easy for them and less time consuming and be able to make it look like they are right and the patient is wrong
How can anyone take health/nutrition related science seriously when it seems every few years some new study comes out with completely opposite results to the previous findings? And worse, it often takes the health authorities years if not decades to update their guidelines and health advice, leading the masses to make poor health decisions in the process. This is why I base my diet around principles and tradition. If it worked for humans for thousands years, there’s no reason it should stop working now. Eggs, saturated fats, red meat, high protein diets, dairy…if any of this stuff was actually bad for us we wouldn’t have made it this far as a species.
Data to ‘suggest’ Helps to, may do, might do, etc etc….. hmmmmm Whatever works for you is always best, 1-1.2 g per lb bw nattys, 1.5 + for juiced up lifters is a good starting point i feel
Just love your videos. Hope you don’t mind me sharing them with my pay it forward group for weight loss
Jeff: You are naive. Start using your own brain instead of relying exclusively on all these so called scientific studies. Protein requires a lot more effort to process than carbohydrate or fat by the body. The difference is splitting that Nitrogen molecule off and removing the excess nitrogen that forms amonia. This is why excess proteinproductive in terms of diet and aging. You are still young. Very young. Look at most of the older body builders. They don’t age very much better than the non bodybuilders. The excess protein ages the body. Especially animal protein. Do yourself a favor and watch the movie “forks over knives”. It will explain some things you haven’t heard before.
Hey this is and from trinidad.which is the best protein should i consume.
Are protein supplements bad with individuals having high sugar in blood?
There are many contradictory studies, many conclude that, simply put, extra protein puts you in a higher risk of kidney failure due to the extra work they do to filter out excess/un-needed protein.
It makes sense, as like anything, if something is overworked it fails faster. I don’t know what to believe anymore, every finding has its contradiction… Nice content though ��
So easy to understand. I have always struggled with dieting since I was a child and have remained overweight all my life. I am on the first month of low carb. I liked your comment in another video when you said it is a marathon not a race so the occasional lapse is ok and it appears to be manageable in that I can return to low carb without the feeling of dread of returning to a diet. Thank you
Really appreciate the video, in a similar situation, or about to be, so great information to know.
im so confused after watching all kinds of videos saying to lose weight but all of them say different like someone says eat low carbs diet, someone says eat high fat high protein diet, some videos says that i should starve. im endomorphic with a height of 170 cm and weight 230 lbs. i need to lose at least 8 stones of weight, im 22 years old and a vegan. plz plz help me.
Great review on protein and kidney/bone let’s not mislead viewers into thinking high protein is ‘safe’ from side effects. There’s a trade off here: high protein’s side effect is less longevity. You can’t have it all!
I have tried regular calorie restricted diets and they simply don’t work for me. They leave me hungary, with the majority of weight loss being muscle mass.
20th day on Keto and I’m feeling great and looking leaner. I also feel satiated between meals.
They work because it is “33 to nill”. Great video and I love your explanation why the carb deficit theory is really bunked. I really think it has to do with more hormonal and insulin. I know one person who ate a fruit and veggie. He lost some weight but was so miserable because he had no fat.
Well, i do believe protein has more pros then cons.. but if it does increase calcium absorption, and leads to a higher excretion of said calcium through the urinary system. Stands to reason that it puts you at a higher risk of developing kidney stones, which can be pretty damaging to the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
Hi! I am 46 years old, and I have been overweight my whole life. I have read Dr. Atkin’s book and tried Atkins several times. I felt great on it, except it gave me prolonged diahhrea. That is the biggest reason I did not stick with it. I did love the fact that my cravings disappeared, and I was never really hungry. I am a Weight Watchers failure. I really like the MyFitnessPal website. Bottom line is, I am totally confused about nutrition. I need to lose at least 100 lbs. and I want to do it right. There are soooo many conflicting dogmas out there. It’s the Vegans vs. the Paleo people, the LCHF people vs. Weight Watchers…..so how am I going to do this? I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes a little over a year ago and take Metformin. I want to get my fasting blood sugar down below 90 and my A1C below 7. So what do you think I should do?
Thank you for the clear concise information. Knowledge is power but only when you use it. I’m using your advice to control my mind and exert my will power in overcoming cravings. I dont give in now. I’ve lost in the last four years 24 inches off my waist, seriously! Train in martial arts run miles every week go to the gym and I’m so full of energy I feel like I’m going to burst. No desire to eat carbs, sugar eat. Mental clarity is through the roof. I’m 57 and lots of friends are starting to drop with many health problems and heart attacks. I’m so healthy I don’t even have dandruff.
First of all, great video, although you mention a con about protein being expensive. I disagree with that. Coming from meat, protein is expensive, but plant based foods and grains that actually have protein in them are incredibly cheap. They also come without the saturated fat ��♂️. I’m currently studying exercise and sports science. Great video, once again
Learning so much from your vlogs. Great info concerning Atkins vs. South Beach. On my Phentermine program, I’m allowed one strachy carbs (bread/cereal/rice etc) one portion with every meal. Not that I don’t adore carbs, but 3 times a day seems a lot to me. I would try either Atkins or South Beach diet in replace of my meal plan, if I’ll see quicker results. If a patient is on Phentermine 37.5 mg, which diet plan do you suggest? Atkins or South Beach? Thx:)
All ketones in your urine tell you is that you’re urinating ketones. A better indication of being in ketosis is to use a glucometer.
Thank you very much Doctor. I will reduce my carb intakes and eat more protein-rich food and veggies.
