Protein Power Lifeplan - What is it?
|
�Protein Power Lifeplan� is the title of the book created by doctors Michael and Mary Eades. It contains a lot of the same information that was offered in their first book �Protein Power,� however, it also contains a lot of new information. Since their last book a lot of new scientific studies have been conducted about the effectiveness and safety of low carbohydrate diets. Discussions about the results from these studies have been integrated into the new book. Other topics that have been added to the new book include information about cholesterol, fats, iron, magnesium, sunbathing, and anti-oxidants. All of this new information are great for helping you to understand the science behind the Lifeplan diet. The Protein Power Lifeplan Diet takes a very scientific approach to creating carbohydrate, protein, and fat ratios. These ratios are based on the natural dietary makeup of the human species. Drs. Michael and Mary Eades theorize that modern humans would be a lot healthier if they would return to diets that were closer to that of cavemen. What this would mean is that a person would have a diet that is primarily made up of animal protein, and that is only supplemented with vegetables and carbohydrates. The basics of this diet are very similar to other low carb diets. People on this diet will need to limit their carbohydrate intake and increase their protein and fat intake. The first phase of this diet is the �intervention� phase. During this phase people need to limit their carbohydrates to only 7 -10 grams per meal, and then add a single 7 to 10 gram carbohydrate snack. During this phase they will also need to watch how much proteins they eat. The amount of protein that will be allowed during the intervention phase will be based on the current weight, height, and activity level of the dieter. The only thing that will not be limited during the intervention phase is the amount of fat that a person eats. However, the creators of this diet warn dieters that if they eat too much fat they will not lose weight because their calorie count will be too high. Unlike most low carb diets, the initial phase of this diet will last during most of the diet instead of only two weeks. The dieter will need to lose most of the weight that they want before moving onto the next phase. The second phase of this diet is the transition phase. During this phase of the diet the amount of carbohydrates allowed will increase. Now dieters will be allowed to eat up to about 50 grams of carbohydrates per day. The amount of protein allowed will also need to change to reflect the current weight, height, and activity level of the dieter. The final phase of this diet is the maintenance phase. During this phase the dieter will be allowed to eat up to 130 grams of carbohydrates per day. Again fats will be unlimited, within reason, and protein intake will need to be based on the height, weight, and activity level of the dieter.
