The type of calories you eat will dramatically influence how fast your metabolism runs AND if you lose or gain body fat. So let’s start by talking about protein...
Why should you eat mostly protein? Protein is the most important food for fat loss and there's a few reasons for this..
1) Protein’s thermic effect. Your body will consume around 25% of the calories in proteins to simply digest them. That’s why having a protein based diet (without eating fewer calories) you can lose a considerable amount of fat.
2) Excess protein will not be transformed into fat. Instead, it will be eliminated as waste while excess calories from carbs and fats would be stored as fats.
3) When you consume protein, it slows the entire digestion process. Consuming protein even reduces your appetite and cravings. It especially reduces those late night carbs and sweets cravings. Protein also helps to slow the digestion of the carbohydrates. This keeps your body stay out of fat storage mode.
4) By eating more protein, you will build muscle. Each gram of muscle on your body will need 3 times more calories than a gram of fat.
Here are your best protein sources:
- Free range poultry (chicken breast and turkey breast)
- Organic eggs (mostly egg whites because the yolk has a lot of fat)
- Wild caught salmon and white fish
- Grass fed beef
- Seafood (shrimp, scallops, crab and lobster)
- Low fat cottage cheese or string cheese
