High Protein Diets: Effective Weight Loss & Meal Plans

May 13, 2016 - Admin

About 90 percent of people who lose a significant amount of weight through dieting gain it back again within 12 months. Marleen van Baak from Maastricht University Medical Center in the Netherlands found that people who consumed high-protein diets ad libitum (they could eat whatever they wanted) were able to maintain weight better than people following a low-protein diet or diets with either low or high glycemic indexes (complex or simple carbohydrates). The test subjects had previously lost more than 20 pounds. A simple way to maintain weight loss is to consume a shake containing 25 grams of whey protein mixed with milk or juice. This will suppress appetite and help maintain lean mass. For those wondering how much protein per day is optimal, integrating high protein meals for weight loss into your daily routine can be beneficial.
