Protein… Did you know?
Protein is crucial for weight loss for several reasons:
➡️Satiety. Protein is more satiating than carbohydrates or fats, which means it helps you feel full longer.
➡️Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). Is the technical term to say that digesting protein requires us to use more energy compared to fats and carbohydrates. This increase in energy helps us to burn more calories.
➡️Muscle Preservation. A biggie. During any weight loss journey there’s a risk of losing muscle mass. Protein helps preserve lean muscle tissue.
➡️ Metabolic Rate. Muscle mass is metabolically active, meaning it burns more calories at rest. By preserving muscle through adequate protein intake, you help maintain a higher resting metabolic rate, which is beneficial for long-term weight management.
➡️ Body Composition. Higher protein intake supports better body composition by favoring fat loss over muscle loss. This results in a leaner appearance and improved overall health.
