If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should take a good look at your
daily protein intake. Sometimes these unexplainable conditions come down to an
easy fix—more protein in your diet.
Protein deficiency can be even more serious than you think. Long term or frequent
protein deficiency can result in even more serious health risks, such as:
• gallstones.
• Arthritis.
• heart problems.
• organ failure.
• muscle deterioration.
• death
As you can see, a lack of protein in your diet can be very serious—even life
threatening. If you take nothing else from this book, be absolutely certain that you
are getting adequate amounts of protein every day. In the diet portion of The 2
Week Diet, you’ll learn how to calculate your true daily protein requirements.
On The 2 Week Diet, we attempt to emulate “starvation” and all the fat-burning
qualities it produces—but without all the negative side effects (hunger, lean body
mass loss, etc.). To do this, we will focus on depleting the body of carbohydrates
to trigger the starvation response. Again, this starvation response forces the body
to switch over to burning incredible amounts of fat for our daily energy needs.
Meanwhile, we will “sneak” adequate amounts of protein to the body every few
hours. Instead of attacking our own lean body mass, the body will use this “easy”
protein (the protein we eat) and turn it into glucose, which requires even more
fuel (body fat) to accomplish. Basically, we are going to throw all kinds of things at
the body to force it to burn more and more body fat, which will result in ultra-fast
weight loss.
