The wrong amount of protein

Carb free, high protein diets are very popular, but they are very unhealthy in the long term.

High protein diets can be very unhealthy in the long term

Your body needs a decent balance of nutrients to function properly, especially your digestive system. Healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds and whole grains are often avoided on a carb free high protein diet, but these foodstuffs provide vital nutrients that help to keep your gut bacteria happy.

If you have a diet plan that restricts a specific food group that supplies nutrients that your body needs this can cause health complications as well as cravings and can cause you to overeat.

Eating protein also helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied, so when you don't eat it you are hungry more often, which ultimately leads to eating more and gaining weight.

Whatever diet plan you are following, you should consider its affects on your overall health, not just your weight. Restricting yourself from eating whole food groups is never a good idea. Your body needs a healthy balance of nutrients in order to function correctly and keep you healthy.
