In many clinical studies, it has been shown that consuming recommended amounts of dietary proteins can help to promote weight loss. Though protein is not that magic bullet that would single-handedly melt away all extra fat, it definitely helps a good deal. A high-protein intake helps burn calories in two ways: 1) Studies have shown that this is the mechanism. Proteins cause a greater thermogenesis (increased metabolic rate) after eating than carbohydrate and fats. 2). Protein decreases fat mass and prevents a decrease in fat-free mass (which includes your body’s water, organs, bone, and muscle content), which helps maintain resting energy expenditure. 3). Protein will keep you satisfied and full for a long time, and curb your appetite and cravings. Since a high-protein diet is an effective strategy to employ while losing weight, let’s replace your unhealthy morning and evening snacks with these healthy, weight-loss friendly, high-protein snacks instead.
