Specializes in General Practice

Protein Diet: Yes, with the caveat being that you also must limit your overall calories. A good diet is one that consists of 60% of the calories being protein, 25% being carbs and 15% fat calories. If you really want success you will also work on walking or other vigorous physical activity daily.
