Wonder Protein Please Make Me Thin

admin    Diets    

There are so many articles in the internet that will tell you not to eat this and not to eat that to lose weight fast. There are articles too that will tell you to eat this and eat that to become lean and thin – this is one of those articles.

I’m talking about protein.

Protein is actually magical. It doesn’t only provide you abrupt and instant feeling of satiation or being full it also keeps doing that for longer intervals. Protein will also help stop your craving for sugar which is actually fantastic for me because I have this extreme sweet tooth. You see, protein will not only help in my endeavour to lose weight but will also keep me healthy.

Ever since I found out this fact about proteins (not that they don’t teach this in school, I might just forgotten), I have been reading a lot about it online. This is how I found out that to be very effective I shouldn’t just eat any type of protein, my diet should include only the highest quality of protein there is.

Turkey and chicken are two good examples of high quality protein, but of course, that’s after you get rid of the skin. These meats are low in fat and can be cooked any way I want it (uh, maybe except for fried) – roasted, broiled, grilled, sautéed; you name it!

Fishes like tuna, salmon, halibut mackerel, and more as well as shellfish like crab and lobster are good sources of high quality protein as well. Again, I can cook these any way, except frying.

Surprisingly, red meat is a good source of high quality protein too. But I should be very careful in choosing the part that is lean and contains lesser cholesterol. Round cut sounds ok, top sirloin and round flank are fine as well.

Well, there are lots of other foods where I can get high quality protein but I have to be careful not to overdo it. Maximum intake is 35% of my whole diet. I shouldn’t eat an all-protein diet alone. Hey! It’s not good to ignore those other delicious treats out there!
