Respond to at least two classmates with substantial posts. i just need you to respond

A diet that is high I protein can be beneficial for many reasons. One benefit of a high protein diet is that it promotes weight loss.To loose weight, one must burn more calories than what they take in. Since protein is a macronutrient, it promotes weight loss. While this seems like a good way to loose weight, it can be problematic for people with kidney disease. This is because the by-products that are produces from the breakdown of the protein are eliminated through the kidneys. This puts a lot of strain on the renal system. If a person already has an impaired renal system and partakes in a diet that makes them work even harder, it can send people into renal failure. Another problem is that an increase in waste that needs to be excreted means an increase of urine that is going to be output which leads to increased water loss. This can lead to dehydration. A high protein diet also increases the excretion of calcium. This also causes problems with the kidneys. The more calcium that is excreted through the kidneys means there is a higher chance for the calcium to build up and from stones in the kidneys and urinary tract. I feel that this diet may be easy to maintain in the beginning but a common trend that I see with the population is once they loose the weight they wanted to, they go back to their old diets or have a few too many "cheat days" and gain the weight back. I also think that it would be hard to maintain because there are a lot of food groups people miss out on by having a high protein diet.

Answer 1

Yes your observation can be absolutely correct. The success of carbohydrate-restricted diets is believed to be due to the enhanced satiety provided by the increased protein compared with other macronutrients, in addition to the minor benefit of increased thermogenesis.Protein intake for a carbohydrate-restricted diet might be in the range 25–35% of daily energy intake. Actual protein intake (in grams) in a weight-loss diet might not be much greater than that in a normal diet because of the restricted intake of the other macronutrients. This fact might be quite important when considering the potential adverse effects of high-protein diets.ketogenic diet blunts appetite and leads to an approximate 10% reduction in food intake compared with a high-protein, moderate-carbohydrate diet.

low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet resulted in greater weight loss at 6 months than a low-fat diet, but there was no significant difference in weight loss at 12 months. Serum triglyceride levels were lower and HDL cholesterol levels were higher in patients on the ketogenic diet than in those on the low-fat diet, but LDL cholesterol levels were no different.There was no difference in the blood pressure of patients on either diet.

obese individuals with type 2 diabetes were shown to have lost weight and have an improved lipid profile at 1 year follow-up after completing a 12-week high-protein diet. Even short-term dietary interventions can, therefore, have a long-term favorable effect, even if some of the lost weight is regained.

Carbohydrate-restricted weight-loss diets with a modest increase in protein intake can have beneficial effects on weight and lipids compared with high-carbohydrate diets, and this benefit can persist for as long as 2 years.
