Will eating protein help me lose weight?
Sandro asks:
Will eating protein help me lose weight?
Jaret answers:
A higher protein diet not only promotes hypertrophy, but it enhances fat loss. Eating protein boosts levels of Peptide YY, which is a hormone produced by gut cells that travels to the brain to decrease hunger and increase satiety. In addition, protein requires more energy to break down and digest than carbohydrates or fats. That is why you should ramp up your protein intake to enhance fat burning and obviously, if looking to pack on muscle.
