A Protein Diet is a
method based upon manufactured foods, which have a
protein content of 80% or higher. Professor Blackburn
of Harvard University, who often treated patients with
obesity weighing in excess of 300 Pounds, invented it.
In specialized private
clinics, patients were only permitted to eat protein
food substitutes. The other necessary vitamins and
minerals were supplied in a medicinal form.
Traditionally, it is one of the faster dieting
methods. But because of the social, psychological and
economic difficulties encountered, it has
traditionally only been applied to patients whose
obesity had been diagnosed as extreme. However, if the
cause of the obesity is not diagnosed and treated,
then the same rebound effect could result as with
other forms of dieting. As always, after this form of
treatment, a re-education towards food-intake
management would be required.
The loss of only a few
pounds for a person with obesity can theoretically add
3-4 months to their lifespan, so all possible means
towards weight reduction have to be considered by
health professionals.
