Will a low carbohydrate, high protein diet help me lose weight?
| High protein, low carbohydrate diets are under great
debate today and little has been researched as to their long term
success. Many studies have indicated that these diets result in
immediate weight loss, however, much of the weight loss in the first
week to ten days is due to water loss. |

Nutrition experts are most concerned with the negative
health effects of too much protein and saturated fat that constitutes
these diets. Many studies have shown that too much protein may
result in kidney stones, bone loss, and development of cardiovascular
disease. |
