Do they work? Yes — you do lose weight initially on a High Protein/Low Carb diet but 90% of your initial weight loss is water. And that’s where the problems begin.
What happens after your body has shed its water weight?
It begins by burning any remaining fat, and then, in the absence of carbs to burn for energy, it turns to protein - your muscles.
These diets cause a metabolic state known as ketosis, which is a dangerous condition that affects persons with kidney disease and diabetes. It is uncommon to find it in healthy persons.
Protein is nature's building material and is essential for repairing and rebuilding your body's cells, tissues, and organs, thus burning it is unhealthy. Ketosis is dismissed by proponents of the Low Carb/High Protein/Fat diet, who argue that it is indication that your body is burning fat. In part, this is correct.
Ketosis not only burns fat, but it also burns muscle tissue over time.
