Fast Fat Loss Bits of information for you to ponder
1. A revealing study in “Nutrition and Metabolism” found some important facts; People who eat a low-carb, high-protein eating plan shed fat and gain muscle. Up to 9 times more fat is lost on a high-protein diet than on a low-fat diet.
In fact, in this case, the people who chose more protein lost seven pounds in six weeks. People who followed a normal diet did not lose weight. For added emphasis, the high-protein group gained at the same time (twice as much muscle). This is the key to getting rid of fat cells, not just shrinking them, when you can shed fat and gain muscle, you are speeding up your metabolism for a better life.
2. Lower blood sugar levels with apple pie?
Scientists were pondering the effects of certain foods on blood sugar levels. They found that when the subjects ate crisp apples… their blood sugar level dropped.
The scientists were stunned to say the least. They investigated it and discovered that it was due to a common ingredient inside most crisp apples. Chances are you already keep it in your spice rack. It turns out to be cinnamon! Now, I wouldn’t recommend that you start eating apple pie for weight loss, but you may want to add a little spice to your life. Tests conducted by the US Department of Agriculture confirm cinnamon’s ability to lower blood sugar. They also found other spices that easily increase your body’s glucose metabolism by almost 20 times.
3. What about proteins?
In addition to the fact that protein is the only way your body has to take in the essential amino acids to live. Protein also makes you feel full, much more so than carbohydrates or fat. Why? Because protein increases the hormone called leptin. This hormone sends signals to your brain that you are satisfied. As a result, you feel satisfied. Overeating stops.
Here are some rules for adding protein to your meal plans.
has. Protein-rich foods are tastier. Meat and eggs are your best sources. When possible, eat grass-fed beef. The taste is better and it’s much better for its longevity because it has the right types of fats.
b. Eggs are the ideal food. I eat them daily. They are the “standard” by which I rate any other protein. An egg has all the amino acids in the proportions you need and all in one place. For best health, choose eggs that come from cage-free hens.
cons The typical recommendation is 50 to 60 grams of protein/day. But actually people eat very little protein. My recommendation if you want to curb your appetite and get rid of fat, try a gram of protein for every pound of lean muscle.
d. If you weigh 170 pounds and have about 25% body fat, you have about 130-145 pounds of lean muscle mass. So aim for 140 grams of protein each day. If you don’t know your body fat percentage, the average man is between 16-20% and the average woman is between 20-24%.
If you’re not getting the recommended amount of protein, it may be a great idea to supplement with a quality protein powder. A post-exercise protein shake is a reliable means of increasing protein intake and increasing muscle metabolism.
