A protein-only diet helps you lose weight
It has been proven that protein foods can help you lose weight, but if you stick to a protein-only diet you won’t lose weight as you would like, and your health will be adversely affected. Your body needs a lot of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals to function properly, not just proteins.Â
“Your body needs other nutrients and vitamins to survive and thrive,” according to weight loss doctor David Nazarian, MD, and nutritionist Desiree Nazarian, MPH, of Weight Loss Clinic Los Angeles. A protein-only diet “will lead to a variety of other problems down the line,” he adds.
