It’s still earlier enough in the New Year that some are still going strong with those weight loss resolutions. Whether it’s the Keto, the Paleo or another low-carb, no sugar diet option, it can be confusing and difficult to understand what our bodies respond to and why. If you find yourself faltering in your weight loss efforts, or if you are still trying to decide how to get started, read on to learn why adding more protein to your diet can help you lose weight.
Many people might assume that a high protein diet just means you eat more or only meat. This doesn’t really work if you are vegetarian or vegan. And it could contribute to a host of other health issues. But, a truly healthy high protein diet will help you to increase your protein intake while still maintaining a healthy and balanced diet that includes all the fuel your body needs to get you through the day. And protein is found in many other sources besides that ribeye on sale at the grocery store meat counter.
Benefits of More Protein
So, what can consuming more protein do for you? A higher intake of protein will boost your metabolism, reduce your appetite and begin to change weight-regulating hormones. Another little-known benefit: Our bodies burn calories while we digest protein. Protein really is an essential component to our diets because it helps to build, repair, and maintain everything from our muscles, organs, and bone, to our skin and hair.
Good proteins are made up of amino acids. There are nine essential amino acids that we can derive from the food we eat. What is called a complete source of protein will contain all nine types of these important amino acids. Protein rich foods include fish, eggs, dairy products like cheese, milk and whey, red meat and poultry. Complete sources of plant-based protein include quinoa and buckwheat. Other plant-based foods rich in protein include lentils, nuts, beans, grains, legumes, avocados, soy, rice and peas.
Benefits of Plant-Based Protein
Many people choose plant-based proteins rather than animal-based due to the high levels of cholesterol and saturated fat common in animal protein, which can contribute to blood sugar issues, inflammation, cardiovascular problems and high cholesterol. If you already suffer from one of these health issues, adding more animal protein isn’t necessarily the healthiest option.
On the other side of the protein coin, pure plant protein has many benefits without the harmful side effects of saturated fat and cholesterol. Plant protein can help promote muscle repair, blood sugar control, weight management, inflammation and digestion and can even boost immune support. Another key feature of plant-based protein is the fiber factor. Plant-based foods are typically rich in fiber and can help to keep your digestive system balanced. Fiber also has the added benefit of helping us feel fuller longer.
An easy way to add more plant-based protein to your diet is trying NutraGen’s Organic Pure Plant Protein powder in both chocolate and vanilla flavors. This great source of added protein is easily digested and perfectly balanced with the cleanest, highest quality protein blend. Simply blend, shake or whisk two scoops into 10-12 ounces of water, almond, rice or coconut milk until fully dissolved for a great meal replacement or post-workout treat. It won’t take long for you to notice the difference and see your body responding to the added benefits a protein-rich diet can bring.
