Why You Need Protein
She starts by explaining why protein is so essential for weight loss. "It preserves lean muscle, boosts metabolism, and keeps you fuller for longer, reducing cravings & overeating," she says. "Plus, it helps maintain toned, strong muscles while shedding fat, so you lose weight w/out losing your shape!"
Science Confirms This
According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW), but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.
