Nutrition Tip. Consume protein based foods regularly. Here are 3 reasons why this is important for anyone looking to drop body fat: 1. Protein has a higher thermic effect than carbohydrate and fat. Simply put, we burn more calories trying to digest and use proteins. As a result body fat loss will increase. 2. Protein is very satiating. In short, protein has been shown to make people feel fuller than if they had eaten the same number of calories from carbohydrate or fat. 3. If adequate protein is not consumed then a person will see a drop in muscle tissue and a drop in their metabolic rate. Even when your muscles are not actively moving, they burn calories as they breakdown and rebuild proteins. Therefore, the more muscle you have (partly as a result of eating adequate amounts of protein as well as exercising effectively and other factors) the more calories you burn and the more body fat you will lose and this will be the case whether you are sat on your couch watching big brother or running round the block trying to avoid it!
