Today's nutritional field is growing and changing at a rapid rate. For the health conscience public this can be both exciting and frustrating. New diets and styles of eating fade in and out like last season's clothing.
Many students look towards diets as a means to shed a few pounds or simply to become healthier.
The protein diet seems to be the current hot diet. It involves eating very few carbohydrates and large amounts of protein. Less than twenty grams of carbohydrates per day is recommended, the amount varying depending on which protein diet you are following. In place of the carbohydrates are large quantities of foods high in protein such as meats, dairy products, and even beans. As I understand it, how the protein power plan works, is that your body stores energy as carbohydrates and fats, so when you need energy you burn carbohydrates.
