Embrace Protein for Magical Fat Loss
Adopting a high protein diet, consuming approximately one gram of protein per pound of target body weight, enhances fat loss while preserving or building muscle. In practice, this means if aiming for a target weight of 150 pounds, one should intake 150 grams of protein from whole, natural foods. This focus on protein not only reduces appetite and cravings due to its superior satiety compared to fats and carbs but also accelerates fat loss regardless of caloric intake, as demonstrated by the thermic effect of protein. Therefore, prioritizing protein can lead to greater fat loss outcomes even when calories are controlled.
