5. Eat high levels of protein. If you’re looking for a miracle “quick-fix” to lose weight, adding more protein into your diet is the most effective, most direct tactic available. Protein controls hunger, slows digestion, and creates a thermogenic effect–an effect that boosts metabolism and burns excess calories. Up to 30% of calories derived from protein sources are burned during digestion. For every 100 calories of protein consumed, you’ll actually burn 30 solely through digestion. Powerful. Protein also plays a major role in muscle development, which creates muscle tone and definition. Decreased hunger + thermogenesis + muscle growth = the weight-loss triple threat.
