Protein Boosts Fat-Burning
November 21st, 2008
Study co-author Dr. Marijka Batterman, an Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian, said: ‘We know from past research that overweight or obese people are not as efficient at burning fat. This new study shows that fat oxidation, or the body’s ability to ‘burn’ fat, improves in obese people when they eat a higher protein diet.’ -medicalnewstoday
MY COMMENT: Another reason to take a good look at your protein intake. Besides this research, we already know that protein is an effective appetite suppressant and takes a little extra energy to metabolize.
