High-protein diets

There is a suggestion that it is less effort to have weight loss if we can eat 10 to 35 percent high protein food such as turkey, chicken and red meat in our diets.

Proponents say that such diets boost our metabolism, promoting weight loss while making us feel full. This is because it takes more energy for our body to digest protein in meat than it does for carbohydrates or fat. In other words, the more protein we eat, the harder our body has to work to digest it and so more calories can be burnt in the process.

However, we need to be very careful about high protein diets as nutritional deficiencies could arise and our liver or kidney might have problem as a result, since a high-protein diet could affect these organs.
