Study Finds Consuming More Protein, Less Carbohydrates May Be Healthier.
2001 APR 19 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- New research suggests Dr. Adkins may be right: a diet higher in protein and lower in carbohydrates than currently recommended may help people maintain desirable body weight and overall health.
For 30 years fad diets and various nutritional recommendations have come and gone, said Donald Layman, a professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Illinois.

"The situation is one of the worst public health fiascos we've ever seen," said Layman, who also is a professor of internal medicine in the UI College of Medicine at Urbana-Champaign. "We may have fewer people dying from heart disease, but that's only because our medical recovery is better. We also are looking at an approaching onslaught of type 2 diabetes. I think we have a very good reason to re-evaluate where we are at nutritionally."
Layman's research focuses on the relationship between exercise and nutrition, particularly what balance of food helps maintain sufficient muscle mass so a person can efficiently expend energy to maintain a healthy body.
