Slim Down Secrets

People have known for years about the power of protein.

It may help you lose weight, provide essential amino acids for strong muscles, and provide you with plenty of vitamins and minerals, which are essential for your health.

But over the years, the fad of high-protein diets has lost momentum.

Why?

There are hundreds of different diet options to choose from.

The everyday consumer may be completely CONFUSED by what they hear.

Is a high protein-diet good for you?

Or is high-carb and low-protein a better option?

All the options can be quite confusing.

Gone are the days where a healthy diet was three square meals with meat and potatoes.

Now the guidelines have changed to include more fruits and vegetables, essential fats, and lean meats.

But what if I was to tell you that a high-protein diet MAY be beneficial to your health.

In fact, there is supporting research showing a high-protein, high-fiber diet may increase your feeling of fullness which may lead to weight loss.

High-Protein, High-Fiber Diets

Incorporating more protein and fiber into your diet may be a key to losing weight.

Not only do you burn extra calories by eating protein, but it takes longer for food to be absorbed by your body by increasing your fiber intake.

High protein may help aid weight loss by sparing lean mass, enabling you to burn more sugar and fat.

This may decrease your fat stores, especially your subcutaneous and visceral fat.

And I forgot to mention that you may even BURN more calories DIGESTING protein.

Your body tries very hard to not use protein for energy.

But during times of fasting or calorie restriction, your body may burn protein to use for energy.

Your body is so complex and unique that it saves your fat stores for future use.
