Can Protein Help With Weight Loss?

Crash diet, speed diet, or would you prefer a juice cleanse? There is a lot of information on the internet these days about the best way how to get to your “dream weight”. In fact, much of the information there is questionable. Check out this podcast to learn how to start your protein-based weight management journey without limiting yourself entirely.

Eating a high protein diet is a great way to reduce calorie consumption while maximizing satiety and metabolism. It affects the hormones in our brain that signal the feeling of satiety. This helps us stay full longer. Proteins also boost your metabolism to burn fat and maintain muscle mass. Weight loss often leads to a reduction in fat stores and muscle mass. That is, the more weight we lose, the fewer calories we burn because we have fewer muscles to use the energy. Eating a high protein diet prevents muscle mass from being lost and thus ensures the speed at which we burn calories. Also, your body burns more calories by digesting protein.
