Do you know that Vegetable Protein Foods can help you to lose weight?
As I mentioned in a previous post - “Points to be aware of on High Protein Weight-loss diets”, we have to be careful of high protein diets where there is a high concentration of animal protein.
WHY? - as I discussed, animal protein carries a lot more fat and cholesterol, which our bodies get laden with, we have to try and digest it, and only 50% of animal protein is absorbed, the rest our poor kidneys and liver have to try and deal with, and depending on our lifestyle and exercise routines, and the other foods we are eating, much of this protein waste could be being stored on our body as excess fat, which can build up over a period of time, leading to obesity, diabetes, cholesterol and high blood pressure among other conditions.
Protein does help to build lean muscle tissue, which speeds up our metabolism, and burns the excess calories or fat on our bodies.
