The slimming teacher always said: Eat more protein, don't be hungry, you must eat fish, shrimp and beef.

Some friends are worried.

Why eat it? How to eat? How much do you eat?

About losing weight and protein.

Usually people don't have the patience to tell you

Let me help you understand today.

As we all know, protein is the most important component of muscle. In order to keep the muscle developed, it is essential to take protein from the diet. So the question is, what is the relationship between muscle and weight loss?

Protein can help us to consume energy more effectively during exercise, thus promoting the effect of healthy weight loss. (dieters, please ignore ...)

Protein's intake is very important whether in reducing fat or at ordinary times. If you don't eat enough, you will face: yellow hair, hair loss, ugly face, decreased immunity and getting fatter and fatter.

When reducing fat, why do you suggest eating more protein?

Protein needs longer digestion time, and eating protein is less likely to make you hungry. Protein's calories are lower than fat, and the most important thing is that it is difficult to convert into fat. People who are losing weight or like fitness can appropriately increase the intake of protein, help gain muscle and lose weight, and build a good figure. There are the following points:

1. Increase satiety

Protein has a relatively large molecular weight and takes a long time to digest and metabolize, which can increase the output of glucose in the small intestine, and then make the brain feel the signal of "satiety", automatically suppress appetite and reduce food intake, thus helping to lose weight.

2. Improve basal metabolism

Protein is one of the main components of synthetic muscle. The higher the muscle content, the faster the basic metabolism of the human body will be, the more calories will be consumed, and the better the fat-reducing effect will naturally be! Supplementing protein after exercise can also promote muscle recovery and relieve fatigue.

Reduce fat

The secretion of adrenaline can promote the formation of fat, while protein can inhibit the secretion of adrenaline and reduce the production of fat. Most importantly, the human body needs a lot of heat energy to consume protein, so the intake of protein is beneficial to fat burning.

4. protein can suppress appetite.

During the period of losing weight, appropriately increasing the intake ratio of protein can control appetite and avoid the painful situation of wanting to eat or not.

5. The food in protein has a high thermal effect.

The body needs energy to digest and absorb food (don't think that eating doesn't consume energy), but protein needs to consume more energy, up to 30% of the basic metabolism, while carbohydrates and fats are only about 5%.

6. delay the increase of blood sugar after meals.

When the proportion of protein in the diet increases, satiety lasts longer, blood sugar rises more slowly, and the body does not need to secrete too much insulin, which is a hormone that promotes fat synthesis.

7. Improve the activity of thyroxine

When the intake of protein in the diet is insufficient, the activity of thyroxine will decrease, and subclinical hypothyroidism will appear, and the body temperature and basal metabolism are at a very low level, which is easy to cause fat accumulation.
