Add These Proteins To Your Diet For A Fast Metabolism
By BETH BRADFORD
According to Performance Lab, chicken, turkey, and eggs can help speed up your metabolism because of their protein content.
A 2022 Clinical Nutrition article found that of 300 college students, those who ate over five eggs a week had lower BMI, waist circumference/height, and body fat percentage.
They also had a higher percentage of lean body mass. It determined that eating more eggs per week can increase metabolism because it helps boost your overall protein consumption.
A diet of vegetables and lean proteins such as chicken and turkey can lead to more weight loss than a low-fat diet, according to a 2021 study in Obesity Science and Practice.
After three months, people who followed a diet consuming four servings of protein daily lost an average of 21 pounds compared to the 3.5 pounds on the low-fat diet.
The high protein group also saw more significant changes in their waist and hip circumference, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels.
