Default Article - High-protein diets: Good for your waistline, bad for your stomach?

By Kelly James-Enger

High-protein diets promise that if you cut back on carbohydrates, you'll
shed pounds. As a result, millions of Americans are embracing popular
high-protein plans like the Atkins and South Beach diets that limit carbs.
But in their fervor to whittle their waistlines, dieters may not be
considering the impact their new eating styles could have on their digestive
systems as well.

Another B.S. article.

Those of us who no longer have to take prescription meds for acid reflux and
IBS because of our low-carb WOE know exactly the opposite is true!

||
|| My personal anecdote is that I had heartburn 3 days per week.
||
|| As soon as I went on my reduced carb diet in June 2003, my heartburn
|| disappeared for good and I have not yet had ONE incident of
|| heartburn.
||
|| I can literally pig out on food now (vegetables, including tomatoes)
|| and would have no heartburn. By pigging out I mean eating, like, 3
|| lbs
|| of tomatoes at once. Throw a bunch of fatty meat to this, still, no
|| heartburn.
||
|| I recently had an enormous breakfast consisting of fatty bacon, a
|| huge quantity of eggs etc (Aug 15). A buffet type continental
|| breakfast. No heartburn.

I don't get heartburn or acid reflux anymore either, while I'm on LC. The
funny thing, though, is if I introduce lots of carbs back in, then the
heartburn will return.

AGain, who knows why these people think that LCers don't eat fiber -
apparently they still view LC as a "meat" diet. You noticed how the return
to it as a high-protein diet, that tells you a lot right there.

Its a fluff piece.

Elite athletes (eg swimmers) consume much more protein than the average
Atkins dieters. They don't seem to have major health problems.

Too right. I can bring on acid reflux and IBS-like symptoms just by
eating too many carbs.

Same here. In fact, I know many people who eat a non-LC woe that complain
of HB and acid reflux all the time. I always comment to them to try LC as
it seems to eliminate those problems for a lot of people.
