Part-4 The Popular High Protein Diet For Losing Weight

By Florentina Ryan

Part-4 Researchers do not understand exactly how protein works to turn down appetite. They believe that it may be because or due to a high-protein diet causing the brain to receive lower levels of appetite-stimulating hormones.

A study has shown people who are on a high protein diets actually or basically ended up consuming less calories .Protein seems to act like an appetite suppressant that is why hunger pangs are easily controlled. High protein dieters no longer seem to binge between meals.

There is a rapid weight loss with high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets. High-protein diets will cause weight loss first off, but unfortunately only temporary water loss. Changing eating habits over a period of time will result in weight loss from fat rather than muscle breakdown and cause loss of water. Maintaining weight loss is easier to achieve at a slower pace than a higher pace.

The key to losing weight is making lifestyle changes, not fad diets. Fad diets may result in weight loss, but the consumer is more likely to gain the weight back once the program has stopped. Following a slow and steady plan will help keep the weight off and allow one to maintain lifestyle changes. Every weight loss plan should include low-fat carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Protein intake should be reasonable and low-fat choices are a plus. A combination of exercise and eating a variety of low-fat, low-calorie foods is an excellent formula for losing weight maintaining weight loss.

Consumers eat so much carbohydrates food ,as a result it cause the body to produce excess of insulin.Production of too much insulin, will result to risk of heart disease, cancer, and arthritis. Insulin produced by the body is necessary to move glucose to body cells for energy release. Thus, we need carbohydrates but consume carbohydrate in moderation!

Low Glycemic Index carbohydrates are carbohydrates that do not result to sharp increase in the blood sugar after consumption. You should keep in mind that the first stage stabilized your blood sugar; this stage maintains it within safe levels. In weight loss stage phase two is nutritionally and metabolically designed for loss of body fat. In the near complete absence of carbohydrates, the body may think it is starving and end up holding more onto body fat the higher energy source and use muscle tissue instead as source of energy. - 15266
