Protein Power

Drs. Michael & Mary Eades

The Protein Power Diet is a high protein low carb diet similar to the Atkins Diet but with more scientific data and better researched. The Protein Power Diet comes with literature that includes calculations for discovering your ideal diet plan and how many carbohydrates and proteins you may consume based upon your height, weight, activity level and body fat percentage. High protein foods such as meats, poultry and fish are encouraged as is milk, cream and cheese.

While following the Protein Power low carb diet you should stay away from high carbohydrate foods such as pasta and bread, similar to the Atkins diet or South Beach diet.

The diet is broken into in three stages; stage one is "Intervention", which has a very low carb intake. This is followed until you approach your ideal weight. Stage two is "Transition", where some carbohydrates are slowly introduced into your diet until your ideal weight is met. "Maintenance" is the last stage. This is when your carbohydrate intake is increased to keep you at your ideal weight. This diet has the same problems with ketosis that are found in the Atkins Diet.

This diet book, written by the Eades, Protein Power claims that you need to control insulin response within your body to achieve health and normal weight. Depending on your activity level, they allocate amounts of protein required at each meal. You are allowed a modest amount of carbs (30-50g per day) but you must carefully monitor this amount. You need to count everything and eat specific amounts at certain times. Protein Power also recommends diet supplements.

Among all the diet plans and low carb diets out there, some might consider this to be classified with fad diets. However, fad diets usually don't last as long as the current low carb trend. Time will tell.

According to nutrition and obesity experts, the idea that a high protein, low-carb diet helps you lose weight by reducing insulin levels is inaccurate. Reducing your intake of any food will achieve this. If you are convinced that people like Dr. Atkins are right about low-carb diets, then this may be one more such plan for you to consider.

The site is very useful and provides interactive communication and support. The Eades have moved beyond merely books, online, similar to Atkins, and provide a comprehensive repertoire of products and tools that support their plan. We are impressed with the website.
