In recent years, protein has become the hottest new fad in dieting. Why has this humble substance suddenly become so talked about?
Protein is one of the three essential macronutrients that we need on a daily basis - the others are fats and carbs. Protein is the building block of many of the structures in our body, including muscles, tendons, and bones, and is also essential for most biochemical reactions.
One reason that protein has become so talked about recently is because it has been proven to be the most satiating (filling) type of food - much better than carbs or even fat. It can thus be a big help in weight loss - if you base your meal around it, rather than carbs, you will feel full for longer and eat less overall.
Inn addition, dieters who follow a high protein diet lose more weight than those on other diets, even if the total number of calories is the same.
So where do you get it? It is found in various types of foods, with the best sources including:
- Lean meat (chicken, pork, lean beef)
- Fish
- Eggs
- Dairy
- Nuts
- Beans
- Pulses (peas, lentils)
