High Protein Eating Plan
Recently, I started a new healthy way of eating so I could eliminate the need to frequently diet and detox. First off, I’ve drastically reduced my intake of alcohol, which only encourages you to eat more; second, I’ve begun incorporating more protein and fiber in my meals, both which are capable of stunting the appetite and revving up the metabolism, thereby, eliminating cravings and hunger pains so you don’t overeat. While 40 grams of protein is the bare minimum required for women who lead a sedentary life, I’ve been ensuring that I intake at least over 70 grams a day, from food sources with a low glycemic index such as fish, chicken and eggs. Because the body uses up more energy to burn a single protein molecule, the body requires more calories per day, thus, I’m able to sneak in my favorite cheat foods (i.e. a cookie, a slice of cake, or a low calorie donut) without any worry of going over my total calories needed per day. Grape fruit has become one of my favorite snack substitutes as well, because not only is it tasty, but it helps to control your blood sugar levels, which in turn prevents obesity.
