0:20
nutritionist and fat loss
0:21
muscle building expert this is the
0:23
channel that brings you the need to know
0:24
info on how to fuel your body
0:26
and train to be your strongest self to
0:28
answer the question you have all come
0:30
higher protein diets have shown the
0:32
ability to help with weight management
0:39
of course a healthy balanced diet is the
0:41
key to keeping those extra pounds at bay
0:43
but something about this mighty
0:44
macronutrient seems to be helping people
0:50
first there's the thermic effect of food
0:52
or thermogenesis thermogenesis is the
0:54
natural increase in heat in that your
0:56
body produces which uses energy
0:58
protein causes a higher rate of dietary
1:00
thermogenesis than other nutrients
1:02
research in the nutrition and metabolism
1:04
journal explains that eating protein can
1:06
actually allow the body to blast through
1:08
up to 20 to 30 percent more calories
1:11
than carbohydrates and fats
1:12
next there's satiety simply put protein
1:15
helps you stay fuller for longer which
1:17
decreases the chance of you
1:18
accidentally grazing your whole way
1:20
through a package of biscuits
1:21
and that share bag of doritos between
1:24
your meals based on the visual analog
1:26
scale which measures perceived appetite
1:28
people have been found to be fuller
1:31
versus a 19 protein meal also muscles
1:34
are metabolically active which means
1:36
that they require energy to simply exist
1:38
so the more muscle tissue you have the
1:40
more calories your body will burn every
1:43
you do still have to be mindful of the
1:44
energy you're consuming versus the
1:46
energy you're expending
1:47
lastly protein preserves muscle if
1:50
you're trying to lose weight through
1:52
and you're restricting your energy
1:53
intake it's still really important that
1:55
you maintain an adequate
1:56
intake of protein otherwise your body
1:59
will be burning muscle mass for energy
2:01
as well as fat which is
2:02
less than ideal for that sculpted
2:04
physique you had in mind in fact a study
2:06
by bossy wetfoot and mullet in 2014
2:08
found that a normal weight person can
2:12
of 35 fat-free mass i.e muscle whilst
2:15
if you want to hold on to your muscles
2:17
spread your protein out throughout the
2:18
day in four to five servings of at least
2:20
20 grams and you'll need to make sure
2:22
that you're doing regular resistance
2:24
training to encourage the turnover of
2:27
so are there any negative health effects
2:29
from having a high protein diet
2:30
nope not in healthy people with no known
2:33
but there are calorie concerns too much
2:36
protein and you're not going to get
2:37
enough carbs and fats to stay healthy
2:39
whilst keeping your calorie deficit
2:41
what about supplements to hit your daily
2:43
protein goal you might want to
2:44
supplement with a protein powder you
2:46
want to aim for a protein powder that's
2:48
lower in fats and carbs but still has a
2:51
and that is lower in calories products
2:53
like clearway isolate
2:55
impact whey isolate and clear vegan
2:57

3:00
a good choice for weight loss you might
3:02
want to avoid mass gainers as they
3:03
contain a lot more calories and carbs to

3:07
preserving muscle mass when dieting and
