Is the Proteing Power Diet just another gimmick?

When I first saw heard about the Protein Power Diet book, I wasn't sure whether it was just another one of those scams that attempted to draw you into another weight loss program.

The Protein Power Diet does not even refer to it as weight loss but fat loss, a term that makes more sense.

After all, if you are losing fat you are surely losing weight as well.

After glancing through the book, I decided to take it home and try the suggestions. I was certainly a candidate to lose a few pounds - not seriously overweight but not within normal range either. I had first thought about just browsing through the Protein Power Diet book to get some ides first but decided to read the book before I began any weight loss plan. Everything sounded good to me, especially the fact that I could consume up to 55 grams of carbohydrates daily since I wasn't severely overweight. Many of the other high protein, low carbohydrate diets I had considered allowed less than half that amount, which made me somewhat tired.

With this program I was able to tailor the amount of carbohydrates to my own needs I also liked the idea of being allowed a glass of wine as long as I counted the carbohydrates—I wasn't a daily drinker by any means, but I did like to enjoy a glass of wine once in a while.

There were about five of us in my office using different programs at the same time. In fact, one co-worker was using a very popular diet plan and failing miserably because it was so restrictive. I encouraged her to buy the Protein Power diet book, and she began to see results almost immediately.

It's one of those diets that is not really a diet as such but a program to help you change the way you eat and how you approach food. If you can take a new approach to eating, you will have more luck learning to eat foods that are good for you.

I was very comfortable on the Protein Power Diet program and lost the weight I wanted to lose without being hungry. I learned to take the time to eat instead of rushing through meals, a problem that had contributed in part to my weight gain. The most important thing I learned was the value of exercise and drinking water, neither of which had previously been part of my lifestyle even when dieting.

The only exercise I did was walking and housework - I figured if that wasn't enough, then there was something wrong with the diet program. I learned the importance of combining aerobic and resistance exercises in order to boost the metabolism and burn the calories.

After years of fighting to lose weight, I finally found a program that worked for me. Of course, this plan may not be successful for vegetarians since the only protein allowed is tofu, but for non-vegetarians it is the only program that has worked for me for the long-term.

I have been at my goal weight for over six months now, and I have not had any problems staying where I want to be. If I see a pound or two trying to attach to my hips, I immediately get back on the program for a few days, and I lose it again.
