The protein theory is bad news for people on low-carbohydrate weight-loss plans like the Atkins diet. "I'd be wary of diets that put a heavy emphasis on protein," says Piper. "It's hard to see how that could be healthy." Um, how come they forgot about fat? Low-carbohydrate does not equal high-protein. I personally feel best when I get 60-70% of my calorie intake from fats, 15-25% from proteins and the rest from carbs (fruits and veggies).
