Knowing what foods are best to eat can be one of the most difficult things about losing weight. While dieters may be quick to cut out lots of things from their diet, eating more of one food could help them slim down more quickly. Adding protein into the diet can be a great way to stay feeling full and shift belly fat. What’s more, this should naturally help slimmer eat less carbs and help them lose up to ten pounds in the first week.
What can dieters eat?
Paring a protein source with a fat source and low-carb vegetable is recommended for every meal, according to research published in a post by Kris Gunnars, BSc on Healthline.com.
Sources of protein include meat, such as beef and chicken, and fish, such as salmon and trout.
Eating eggs or oily fish for a protein source can also provide fat into the meal.
If looking for another way to add fat into each meal, adding oils, such as olive oil, coconut oil or avocado oil, can be a good way to increase the fat intake.
Good options of low-carb vegetables include broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, kale and cucumber.
One study showed following this plan can boost the metabolism by 80 to 100 calories per day, meaning the body will burn more fat from the entire body.
The post explained a high-protein diet can also reduce cravings by around 60 percent, reduce the desire to late-night snack by 50 percent and increase slimmers overall feelings of fullness.
Just by following this plan, slimmers will automatically notice their carb intake drop into the range of 20 to 50 grams of carbs per day.
When a slimmer cuts back on sugar and carbs, the body starts burning fat to get energy, meaning they will start to lose weight quickly.
According to the post, slimmers can lose ten pounds, or even more, in the first week of this diet.
