Do you want to know the best way to aid metabolism and lose weight?
Include enough protein in your diet.
Our Indian diet mostly fills our plates with carbs, moderate veggies, and almost negligible protein sources. While it has to be exactly the reverse regarding weight loss.
The minimum protein requirement of our body is 1g per kg of body weight. There are several benefits of including protein in our diet.
1. Helps to build and maintain lean muscle mass.
2. Protein keeps the hunger hormone Ghrelin under control maintaining blood sugar levels.
3. The body needs more calories to digest proteins than that carbs and fats. The body burns around 25-35% of calories to digest proteins and 5-15% of calories to digest carbs and fats.
4. Protein takes a longer time to digest hence keeping stomach fuller for a longer time.
5. Fills up the stomach fast so less likely to overeat.
6. Reduce the cravings for higher-calorie foods and lessens the cheats.
Are you eating enough protein in your diet? If No, what's stopping you from doing it?
