This article seems like yet another diet fad article that focuses on one class of food in isolation, despite appearing to be an analysis of such. Of course Americans like to eat protein. I was a vegetarian for several years, and I came to know the feeling of being hungry in a certain way that was not satisfied by carbs or oil... it’s the only thing you can’t cut out. It’s just that Americans are assessing their diets more realistically these days. The change is really about what they’re avoiding – carbohydrates. I know some people who strictly avoid carbohydrates, and their diets are composed almost solely of meat. It’s basically the manly American man’s dream that this diet now has modern socially justification. Personally, I have a great interest in protein right now because I am recovering from celiac and have an esophageal dysfunction that makes it difficult to eat anything solid or semi-solid. Also trying to avoid the common 8 allergens (no soy, animal milk, or nuts) so that leaves even fewer liquid protein options. It’s easy to get carbs and oils as a liquid, but for protein my current choices, which are almost I can tolerate, are vegan protein powder made from hemp, cranberry and peas, and bone broth. Unfortunately most of these products are geared towards weight loss, which is the opposite of what I need since I’ve lost 30 pounds since the beginning of the year, but it’s easy to add calories as honey or coconut oil.
