Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / February 2005Are high-protein diets good for your waistline, bad for your stomach?
Certainly not the case IME. http://gerd.msn.com/article.aspx?aid=12 > Certainly not the case IME. > > http://gerd.msn.com/article.aspx?aid=12 In the puff-piece "The low-carb lowdown Are high-protein diets good for your waistline, bad for your stomach?" by Kelly James-Enger provides the reader with a plethora of conjecture and gratuitous assertions such as; "There's scanty research on the effects a high-protein diet on the symptoms of GERD, but in one small study, five people" [That's not a study.] " it's not clear how much of a role the high-protein, low-carb plan played in easing their heartburn." [So why write the article in the first place?] "In fact, some people complain of increased heartburn on a high-protein diet, says Dr. Abdul Jabba" [How many are "some"?] "While you may not get heartburn from a high-protein diet, a more likely side effect is constipation." [So when has high-protein been synonymous with low-fiber?] '"The main trigger for most irritable bowel syndrome flare-ups is stress," says Weisiger.' [Another non-high-protein causitive factor.] '"It's variable," says Jabbar.' [No conclusions yet.] "comparing patients with high-protein diets to patients on regular diets" [What's a "regular diet" Dr. Jabba?] >> Certainly not the case IME. >> [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > "comparing patients with high-protein diets to patients on regular > diets" [What's a "regular diet" Dr. Jabba?] Do you think they just conjured up these pieces just to put stuff on their website? Oh....let's throw some bad light on low-carb diets today...just for fun. That ought to generate some hits....even if we come off as clueless. Sigh! > Certainly not the case IME. > > http://gerd.msn.com/article.aspx?aid=12 And not the case for me either. Anyone who calls a low carb a high protein diet does not know what she (in this instance) is talking about.

Makes me wonder too. You'd think they'd call them high-fat diets, anyway, as that would seem to generate more response and interest in a world where fat is to be avoided. >>> Certainly not the case IME. >>> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > as that would seem to generate more response and interest in a world where > fat is to be avoided. Yep... I saw a doc recently, and mentioned that I am LCing, and he, to his credit, did correctly say that I am on a high fat diet. Signature223/173.0/180 > Yep...

These low-carb diets seem to be turning out to really be HIGH "low-carb veggie, low-calorie" diets with not much protein at all. SignatureWysong Age 60.

So, the best way to practice low carb is to eat a high fat diet. Since I like vegs, I eat them liberally. Signature223/173.0/180 I think the key to your article is the phrase "sponsored by Nexium." Protein as a liquid, such as from a protein powder in water, soothes my tummy. Salami, beef or chicken can lead to mild heartburn. LC ice cream, or cheese is soothing. My heartburn was a problem in the 1980s and is much milder now. Nuts do not trigger heartburn, for me. YMMV > Certainly not the case IME. > > http://gerd.msn.com/article.aspx?aid=12 > Certainly not the case IME. > > http://gerd.msn.com/article.aspx?aid=12 Who would go on a high protein diet, apart from weightlifters? Not relevant to a.s.d.l-c. "Studies show that the less fiber you take in, the more likely you are to become constipated; " Not relevant to a.s.d.l-c. gtoomey > Certainly not the case IME. No, mine either. Before I started lc'ing I was getting some really bad heartburn. After the first week of induction, however, that was pretty much gone for good. Except when my eating has gotten really sloppy with lots of refined grains along with the usual amount of protein and fat. For me fat alone isn't a problem, it's just when it is combined with refined starches and/or sugar that I get the heartburn. Oh, yeah, it is a pretty stupid article. HG |
