High protein and High Fat (low carbohydrate) diets have become popular in recent years. Based on what you have learned about metabolism and the body's energy needs, explain what might be some of the disadvantages of this type of diet.
Disadvantages of High protein and High Fat (low carbohydrate) diets:
However, high protein diet is not recommended for those with kidney problems, because it increases the blood uric acid levels. Impaired excretion of uric acid though the urine increases the risk of gout. If the weight loss is required during pregnancy, folate supplementation is needed and cut out carbohydrates must be balanced with more appropriate food choices.
The high fat and cholesterol levels (due to high fat in diet) increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The risk of osteoporosis also increase due to elevated excretion of calcium through the kidneys.

There are many different types of diets, but do some work better than others? Is low fat better than low carb or is some combination best? Researchers conducted a study involving four popular diets: Atkins (very low carb), Zone (40:30:30 ratio of carbs, protein, fat), LEARN (high carbohydrate, low fat), and Ornish (low fat). They randomly assigned women aged...
Discuss how much protein is recommended and consumed in the American Diet? What about high protein diets, what are the concepts behind these and problems associated with a high protein, low carbohydrate diet? (Science based from your readings this week.) COURSE: Essentials of Nutrition
Researchers were interested in comparing the long-term psychological effects of being on a high-carbohydrate, low-fat (LF) diet versus a high-fat, low-carbohydrate (LC) diet. A total of 106 overweight and obese participants were randomly assigned to one of these two energy-restricted diets. At 52 weeks, 32 LC dieters and 33 LF dieters remained. Mood was assessed using a total mood disturbance score (TMDS), where a lower score is associated with a less negative mood. A summary of these results follows: Group...
2. Researchers were interested in evaluating the effects of two low-fat diets with and without resistance exercise training (RT) on weight loss. The diets differed in the carbohydrate-to-protein ratio. A total 80 individuals with type 2 diabetes participated in the study. There were 40 men and 40 women and each group was randomly assigned to an isocaloric diet of either standard or high protein, with or without supervised resistance training (3 days/week) for 16 weeks. Body weight was measured before...
