Protein Power
Psychologist Guy: /* References */
'''Protein Power''' is a high-protein low-carbohydrate [[fad diet]] developed by Michael R. Eades and his wife Mary Dan Eades.
==Overview==
The Eades promoted the diet in their book ''Protein Power: The High-Protein/Low Carbohydrate Way to Lose Weight, Feel Fit, and Boost Your Health-in Just Weeks!'', first published in 1996.<ref>Eades, Michael R; Eades, Mary Dan. (1996). ''Protein Power: The High-Protein/Low Carbohydrate Way to Lose Weight, Feel Fit, and Boost Your Health-in Just Weeks!''. Bantam Books. ISBN 978-0553574753</ref>
The idea behind Protein Power is that reducing the intake of carbohydrates will reduce the amount of insulin released into the body.<ref>Bijlefeld, Marjolijn; Sharon K. Zoumbaris (25 November 2014). ''Encyclopedia of Diet Fads: Understanding Science and Society, 2nd Edition''. ABC-CLIO. pp. 177–178. ISBN 978-1-61069-760-6</ref> According to the diet, insulin controls the storage of fat which is triggered by the intake of carbohydrates. Protein Power promotes an animal based diet rich in meat, dairy and eggs. The claims of the diet have not been scientifically demonstrated.<ref name="AHA Science Advisory">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
Protein Power has been described as a fad diet and [[Pseudoscience|pseudoscientific]].<ref name="AHA Science Advisory"/><ref name="Stare 1998">Stare, Fredrick John; Whelan, Elizabeth M. (1998).

==Criticism==
Nutritionists [[Fredrick J. Stare]] and [[Elizabeth Whelan]] criticized the diet as "too lopsided to be healthful" and the Eades for assembling their own "facts" into an "antiscience hypothesis".<ref name="Stare 1998"/> They noted that "At a time when many years of scientific research are beginning to establish the unequivocal association between plant foods and disease prevention, it strikes us as unconscionable for two medical doctors to be striking out in the opposite direction."<ref name="Stare 1998"/>
In 2001, the [[American Heart Association]]'s Nutrition Committee issued a strong recommendation against high-protein diets such Protein Power and the [[Atkins diet]].<ref name="AHA Science Advisory"/> The committee noted potential health risks of high-protein diets and and how there are no long-term scientific studies to support their efficacy and safety.<ref name="AHA Science Advisory"/><ref>[https://ift.tt/38QrS2n "High-Protein Diets Not Proven Effective And May Pose Health Risks"]. Retrieved 18 December 2019.</ref>
Protein Power restricts healthful foods such as beans and whole grains, it also lacks in [[calcium]].<ref>Bronner, Felix. (2006). ''Nutritional and Clinical Management of Chronic Conditions and Diseases''. Taylor & Francis Group. p. 57. ISBN 0-8493-2765-2</ref> The diet is hard to follow in the long term and disadvantages include poor stamina and [[ketosis]].<ref name="Roth 2018">Roth, Ruth A; Wehrle, Kathy L. (2018). ''Nutrition & Diet Therapy''. Cengage Learning. p. 260. ISBN 9781305945821</ref> The high-protein content may be a strain on the kidney and medical experts recommend that individuals with [[chronic kidney disease]] avoid the diet.<ref name="Roth 2018"/><ref>Byham-Gray, Laura D; Burrowes, Jerrilynn D. Chertow, Glenn M. (2008). ''Nutrition in Kidney Disease''. Humana Press. p. 150. ISBN 978-1-58829-781-5</ref> The diet is high in [[saturated fat]] and total fat.<ref name="AHA Science Advisory"/>
High-protein low-carbohydrate diets like Protein Power that are high in animal protein and lack fiber, minerals and vitamins increase the risk of [[coronary heart disease]], [[cancer]] and [[osteoporosis]].<ref name="AHA Science Advisory"/><ref name="Margolis 2005"/>
