Exercising burns calories and builds muscle, which is essential for increasing your metabolism so that you can burn even more calories and lose more weight.
It is easy to love protein. All of our favourite foods are packed with it. And with the ever-growing popularity of whey-protein shakes, we are taking in more of this essential muscle maker than ever before.
New research
But are we eating the right kind? In fact, new research indicates that if you want to lose weight, more of your protein should come not from meat and dairy, but from vegetables.
In a study earlier this year in the Journal of Diabetes Investigation, researchers discovered that patients who ingested higher amounts of vegetable protein were far less susceptible to obesity, diabetes and heart disease than those who got most of their protein from animal sources.
And a second study in Nutrition Journal found that “plant protein intakes may play a role in preventing obesity.”
Protein in plants
Protein is found in almost all plants, especially nuts and whole grains. But not every plant protein is a “complete” protein, meaning one that builds muscle and burns fat just as effectively as meat.
The nomadic Sans tribe of Africa have used the Hoodia Gordonii plant to suppress appetite. Hoodia, in its purest form, is clinically proven to reduce calorie intake by up to 2,000 calories per day, it is a powerful appetite suppressant and significantly reduces your body fat.
