How much protein should I be trying to stick to each day with such a diet?
Any recommended foodstuffs?

Any good websites?

Thanks in advance.

Recommended foodstuffs are lots of veg, fruit, legumes, and whole grains, 4 oz meat/fish/chicken a day for
B12 and high-absorption iron, some dairy if you can tolerate it, and steam or stir fry your food, don't deep fry.

Mainly weight loss. I also hope that it'll make exercising easier somehow, ie. a little muscle increase if possible. I must say I am almost knowledgless about these things....

I feel like if I ask my doctor about dieting I'll be wasting his time. Is it generally the case that UK NHS doctors are more than happy to discuss diets and therefore I shouldn't be too worried?

Many thanks for your help.

Based on a high protein bar wrapper the RDA is 50g (based on 70% of RDA being 35g.)

6' 3" (190 cm)
14 stone (89 Kg)
Hoping to lose 2-3 stone (15-20 kg) [or convert fat to muscle somehow]
Age 23 years
No known health problems.

I have (I'm guessing in comparison with the average male of my age) low muscle tone, strength and stamina (my g/f can beat me at arm-wrestling [which isn't very good, how ashamed I am :-)]).

I also have a big belly I'd like to get rid of.

Any further thoughts on possible diet?

Many thanks for your input, it's very much appreciated.

Is there anything I can do to reduce the chance of stressing my kidneys? IE.
Eating a particular food type every so often?!

What warning signs should I look for with Kidney problems or should I be asking my GP about dieting and asking to be referred to a dietician for this sort of testing?

Nine grams of protein for every 20 pounds is more accurate (or 1 gram/kilogram) - for a 160 pounder, that's 72 grams. For the best info about protein and diet, in my opinion, see http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/ protein.html Americans typically eat far more protein than they need (me included). Excess protein puts a burden on the kidneys.

A practically all protein diet? A really bad idea. 20% by calories of protein is plenty. You don't need more than 70g protein - thats
280 calories.
