Focus on Protein for Weight Loss

If you’re on a quest to lose weight so that you can look and feel better, protein is one of your greatest allies. Building your diet around high-quality protein can help you burn fat and build muscle, and it sets up a lifestyle habit that’s easy to maintain in the long run. With Livingston County Chiropractic & Weight Loss Center’s Ideal Protein Weight Loss Program, you can look forward to getting results that last.

How Protein Benefits Weight Loss

Eating well is all about balance, which means you’ll need carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and nutrients—some of which you can get through Standard Process whole-food supplements. But if weight loss is your objective, increasing your protein intake is essential. If you eat more protein, your metabolism will work more efficiently and you’ll have less of an appetite. This can help you lower your calorie intake, which is the surest path to losing weight.

A high-protein diet also offers big benefits when it comes to fitness. If you consume high quantities of protein to support your exercise routine, your body can naturally burn fat and gain muscle at the same time. If you follow up your workouts with a protein shake and maintain good eating habits, you can become leaner and more toned.

With a high-protein diet, about 30% to 35% of your calorie intake should come from protein. You can also quantify your protein intake based on your body weight, eating about 0.4 grams per pound at least. If you’re physically active, you can increase this up to about 0.8 grams per pound, which will help with muscle gain and fat loss.
