Dieters have been fascinated with protein for many years.<\/p>\n
Several popular diets focus on proteins and studies show that high-protein diets can be as successful for those attempting to lose weight as high-carbohydrate diets.<\/p>\n
What foods have a lot of proteins? First, we must define proteins.<\/p>\n
Most people consider things like meats to be proteins and they are but they aren’t the only proteins.<\/p>\n
Proteins aren’t associated with calories either.<\/p>\n
People have calculated proteins in calories by Dr. Donald Layman, University of Illinois professional emeritus of nutrition, says that isn’t correct either.<\/p>\n
Layman said you should base how much protein you need based on body weight instead of calorie
\npercentage.<\/p>\n
He said some drop calories without realizing that protein also dips below the recommended minimum levels.<\/p>\n
He also said diets have different ways of calculating protein so the same amount of protein can be
\nconsidered high-protein on some diets while it’s thought of as low protein on others.<\/p>\n
The diets Dr. Layman developed are moderate protein. The target is 120 and 130 grams daily or roughly 1.4 to 1.5 grams\/kg of body weight.<\/p>\n
That is close to double what the recommended daily allowance suggests.<\/p>\n
Layman said a typical American woman eats 70 grams of protein daily while a man consumes around 90 grams.<\/p>\n
The remaining amounts of Layman’s suggested diets are divided equally between fats and carbohydrates.<\/p>\n
High-protein diets can include as much as 35 percent protein while most run between 25 to 30 percent.<\/p>\n
Layman adds five vegetable servings two or three fruit servings and complex carbohydrates in three servings.<\/p>\n
While that may seem like a lot of food, the combinations of proteins, carbs, and fats help those wanting to lose weight be more successful.<\/p>\n
Implementing a high-protein diet isn’t as hard and you may think.<\/p>\n
Be sure to include foods from various groups to keep a balanced diet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
