More Protein More Weight Loss

Recent research from the U.S. Department of Agriculture show that up to a third of women do not get their recommended daily allowance of protein. Importantly protein in a weight loss diet can help individuals lose more weight. For example when dieters increased their protein intake to 30 percent of their diet they ate nearly 450 fewer calories a day and lost about 11 pounds over the 12-week study without employing any other dietary measures.

A Johns Hopkins University study found that a diet in which roughly a quarter of the calories (about 60 percent more than the recommended 10 to 15 percent) come from lean protein sources reduced blood pressure, LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels, and triglycerides better than a traditional higher-carbohydrate diet. Other research finds that diets rich in protein can help prevent obesity, osteoporosis, and diabetes.

Breakfast is a place time where getting ample protein may be extremely important. Recent research found that protein-rich breakfasts could help regulate your appetite all day including eating less over the entire day if weight loss is a desired result. Researchers recommend whey and casein protein sources during this time because of their satiating effects (feeling of fullness) that can help regulate how hungry we are throughout the day.
