High Protein Foods Help You Lose Belly Fat

Rapid weight loss ideas to help increase metabolism naturally!

High protein foods are extremely effective for increasing metabolism naturally.

If you want to REALLY jump start a sluggish, slow metabolism make a point to include foods high in protein with every meal.

It’s one of the best things you can do to lose belly fat fast.

Ladies, I can personally attest to that, because these are some of the types of foods that I included in my weight loss diet daily along with an exercise program.

As you can see in my weight loss before and after pictures, I achieved great results when I eliminated white carbs (white sugar, white bread, pasta, white rice)!

Protein helps to increase metabolism naturally throughout the day and night – yes that means that you’re burning calories even while you sleep!

In fact studies have shown that when a high protein meal is compared to a high carbohydrate meal, the fat-burning (thermic) response from a high protein meal can be up to 40% greater!

That’s pretty significant in my view!

Belly Fat Loss Tip:

In a 12 week study, dieters who increased their intake of protein to 30 percent of their daily diet ate almost 450 less calories daily and lost approximately 11 pounds without using any other dietary measures. (Source – Nutrition Metabolism)





How Much Protein Should You Eat Daily?

Try to pack your biggest protein punch first thing in the morning. It kick starts your metabolism and keeps it revved up all day.

A nutritious, whey protein shake is the easiest and quickest way to do that...yes, Prograde Protein makes the best quality whey protein powder, hands down, ladies.

They also offer a great little recipe book you can check out with lots of free high protein recipes and ideas.

Each serving of Prograde protein packs in 24 gms. of metabolism boosting protein per serving and has only 2 gms. of carbohydrate.

Typically experts will tell you to take in anywhere from .5 to 1.0 grams of protein per pound of body weight.

If you’re physically active opt for 1.0 grams and if you are not as active begin with 0.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight.

So for example, if you weigh 150 lbs. and are active, you want to ingest approximately 150 grams of protein throughout the day.

If on the other hand you weigh 150 lbs. and you’re not very active, you’d be best in take in approximately 75 grams of protein daily.

To help you do that I’ve put together a list of healthy, nutrient dense foods that are high in protein.
