Five benefits of high-protein diets and the truth behind the myth of "eating only meat".

Increasing protein intake appropriately during weight loss has several benefits.

(1) High-protein foods have a strong satiating effect and can increase the level of hormones related to satiety. (This is related to carbohydrates.)

When these foods are consumed together, it is easier to avoid overeating.

(2) High-protein foods can increase the secretion of gastrointestinal hormones related to blood sugar control and delay gastric emptying.

When carbohydrates are consumed in combination, they can better slow down the digestion process and prevent a rapid rise in post-meal blood sugar, thus...

Reduce fat synthesis.

(3) High-protein foods have a strong thermic effect of food, and a portion of the energy after a meal is dissipated as heat.

It has a low risk of being consumed and synthesized into fat.

(4) Studies have found that when using the same diet that reduces energy intake during weight loss, increasing the proportion of energy supplied by protein can help.

The muscle loss after weight loss is smaller, and the effect of reducing abdominal fat is more significant.

(5) When you consume enough high-protein foods, the three meals are palatable and easy to stick to, but it is even more difficult to lose weight afterward.

Rebound.

However, this high-protein diet, where 25% of the energy comes from protein, is not a low-carbohydrate diet.

Because its carbohydrate energy content is still above 40%. Carbohydrates can play a role in conserving protein.

Therefore, it can help preserve muscle mass during weight loss, making the decrease in basal metabolic rate less noticeable.

In the weight-loss nutritional meals I design, protein typically provides 18% to 25% of the energy. This amount helps to avoid...

Muscle loss during weight loss does not increase the metabolic burden on the body; it is both safe and easy to maintain in the long term.

High-protein, low-carbohydrate weight loss is not magical.

The so-called "eat meat and lose weight" high-protein diet popularly believed to work is completely different from the methods mentioned earlier, because...

It's actually a combination of high protein, high fat, and low carbohydrates, omitting grains and fruits from the diet.

Even milk is not recommended (because it contains lactose), so only fish, meat, eggs, and vegetables are recommended.

Decades ago, a doctor named Atkins created an unconventional weight loss method: eating only fish.

He avoids eggs and all starchy foods, and doesn't require strict portion control. He claims this method will allow him to...

The body breaks down fat rapidly, leading to rapid weight loss in a short period. He famously said, "The hamburger..."

It's harmful to weight loss, but the meat patty inside is beneficial for weight loss.

The good news that eating plenty of meat and fish can help with weight loss, and that the calorie content doesn't matter, has delighted dieters worldwide.

They were overjoyed. Is this a myth or reality?

Indeed, this way of eating can lead to significant weight loss in a short period. Some athletes need to lose weight during competitions.

Some women, in order to lose weight quickly before wearing their wedding dress, need to temporarily reduce their clothing size. They all feel that this method...

The method is particularly magical. Actors also like this method; many of them don't eat staple foods for years. It was once very popular.

The Dukan Diet also utilizes this basic principle.

This method has a biochemical basis; 30 years ago, when I was studying biochemistry in university, my teacher...

As I've already mentioned, it's not a new theory.
