Feature the verdict is in on High protein diets & weight loss The science of eating is complex, however what is clear is the importance of a high-protein diet. Here’s why. Words by erin docherty 100 www.cosbeauty.com.au
Feature Most of us have heard of someone who has shed weight on a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet such as Atkins or Dukan. But even if you haven’t eaten a slice of bread since 1997, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re getting enough of the important stuff. In recent times, the focus has turned in favour of counting calories, which, although an effective weight-loss tool, is not one that prioritises the importance of protein. Today many of us perceive foods that are rich in protein as being high calories or fattening. Recent research has shown just how important high-protein diets are to healthy weight loss, even opening the door to new preventative treatment strategies for obesity. In a new study, researchers from Imperial College London in the United Kingdom have revealed how an amino acid called phenylalanine – produced by the digestion of protein – boosts levels of a hormone that tells us when we are full, leading to reduced food intake. It’s like your own natural gastric band! According to lead author Mariana Norton and her team, a high-protein diet can be hard to adhere to, but uncovering the mechanisms by which protein curbs hunger could lead to simpler weight-loss strategies. The power of protein Protein is the single-most important nutrient for weight loss and a better looking body. Why? Highprotein foods take more work to digest, metabolise and use, meaning you burn more calories just processing them (winning!) What’s more is that they make you feel fuller for longer, because they take longer to leave your stomach. Protein is also essential for making sure you lose fat, not muscle. Protein is comprised of smaller molecules known as amino acids, which are linked together in a long chain that can be moulded into different shapes. Your body uses the amino acids to build lean muscle, which not only makes you stronger and more toned, but also fries calories even when you’re not active. This means your metabolism keeps truckin’ along so you can burn off the odd indulgent snack. When you want to get leaner, the goal isn’t just ‘weight loss’ – it’s fat loss. That is, the goal is to lose fat and not muscle, and research clearly shows that a high-protein diet is better for both losing fat faster and preserving muscle. You simply lose more fat and less muscle on a high-protein diet than a low-protein one. www.cosbeauty.com.au 101
