Diets focusing on protein, protein, protein go hand-in-hand with the low-carb craze. These plans tell followers to eat between 30 and 50 percent of their calories from protein. The American Heart Association, the National Cholesterol Education Program, and the American Cancer Society, on the other hand, all recommend a diet with a much smaller portion of calories derived from protein. Why? “Eating too much really strains the kidneys, and can make someone prone to kidney disease later in life,” says Jenny Geyser, a certified personal trainer in La Jolla, California. “You don’t need as much protein as you think,” she says. Geyser says an egg or two at the beginning of the day and a serving of lean meat with dinner should provide the average woman with enough. Super high-protein —especially when it comes from red meat, cheese, and other high-fat goodies—have been linked to high cholesterol and a heightened risk for heart disease and cancer. As if those aren’t enough reasons to substitute whole wheat bread for that ham and cheese omelet, these diets can be particularly harmful to women since they make it more difficult to absorb calcium. This means a higher risk for brittle bones and osteoporosis.
