Protein is more satisfying than carbohydrates or fats, and thus may be a new secret weapon in weight control.
"Diets higher in protein [and] moderate in carbohydrates, along with regular exercise lifestyle, has excellent potential to help weight loss," says University of Illinois protein researcher Donald Layman, PhD.
Get enough protein helps maintain muscle mass and encourages fat burning while keeping you feeling full. So be sure to include healthy protein sources, such as cheese, yogurt, nuts, or beans, at meals and snacks.
