Protein and Soluble Fiber for Fat Loss
Higher protein intake is associated with less lean body mass loss and more body fat loss. Soluble fiber also contributes to fat loss, albeit to a lesser extent than protein. Both protein and soluble fiber work on different axes and have beneficial effects on fat loss. A high fiber diet is considered to be around 35 to 40 grams, with the current recommendation being 25 grams per day. Soluble fiber from sources such as flax and chia is preferred for fat loss. These insights highlight the benefits of incorporating higher protein and soluble fiber, particularly soluble fiber from sources like flax and chia, in the diet for fat loss.
