When you provide your body with less food energy than it burns in a day, it begins to look for other energy sources, such as stored fat, to burn to keep you going. Over time, this will lead to both fat and weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Increase Your Protein Intake<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to scientific research, protein plays a key role in weight loss as it contributes to this process in 3 main ways (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ajcn.nutrition.org\/article\/S0002-9165(23)23664-3\/fulltext\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Increased_Satiety\"><\/span><b>Increased Satiety\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned above, you will need to reduce your overall calorie intake to kickstart the weight loss process. This caloric decrease usually means that you\u2019ll feel hungrier than usual, which could tempt you into eating more than the recommended deficit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protein helps increase perceived satiety, making you feel fuller, which in turn reduces your chances of exceeding your daily calorie goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Increased_Diet-Induced_Thermogenesis\"><\/span><b>Increased Diet-Induced Thermogenesis\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the ways that your body burns calories is through digestion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the body has to digest and process protein, it ends up using more energy (i.e., burning more calories) than it does to digest fats or carbs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essentially, eating a diet higher in protein will help your body burn a few more calories, which contributes to fat and weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>BetterMe: Health Coaching app helps you achieve your body goals with ease and efficiency by helping to choose proper meal plans and effective workouts.

A higher consumption of this macronutrient, especially when combined with exercise, helps increase or maintain muscle mass.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More lean muscle mass helps increase your resting metabolic rate, which contributes to weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Increase Your Fiber Intake<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to several studies, increased fiber intake can promote weight loss and reduce the risk of weight gain.
