The Impact of Protein Intake on Metabolism and Weight Loss
Increasing protein intake can speed up metabolism and provide psychological benefits by focusing on building and fueling the body rather than reducing and cutting out foods. Prioritizing protein intake over calorie counting can be effective for weight loss, as it is challenging to consistently consume an adequate amount of protein. This approach can lead to a natural reduction in calorie consumption and make it difficult to overeat, particularly when obtaining protein from whole foods. Emphasizing protein intake, along with ensuring adequate fuel, is essential for building muscle and achieving weight loss goals.
