Tag: Protein energy ratio

Over the past 50 years, the average protein percentage in the American diet has dropped, while consumption of energy from carbohydrates and fats has significantly increased. The PE (Protein-to-Energy) diet, popularized by physician Dr. Ted Naiman, aims to reverse this trend by prioritizing nutrient-dense foods high in protein to naturally reduce overall calorie intake and improve body composition.

The PE diet, developed by Dr. Ted Naiman, is based on the principle that if you eat foods higher in protein than energy (carbs and fat), you will lose fat. This strategy emphasizes nutrient density over calorie counting by prioritizing whole, unprocessed foods and managing the balance of macronutrients.
