Lately scientists have been studying and researching that the secret to losing weight isn’t to cut carbohydrates, it’s to consume more protein in your diet. These studies have shown that protein suppresses your appetite. These scientists did this study by having 19 volunteers with different diets. The results from this study show that when an increased protein intake of 15%-30% they felt less hungry, and also the calories from fat were reduced from 35% to 20%. One element of these tests were that the carbohydrate intake was kept constant and the protein was increased, Compared to the Atkins Diet, which demonstrates a no carbohydrate intake of any kind and increased amount of protein. This basically states its not the reduced carbohydrates that are making you loose weight it’s the amount of protein consumed that makes you feel full therefore causes you not to eat as much. You need carbohydrate in your diet to function on a day-to-day basis. Carbohydrates are good for you, now eliminating simple carbohydrates such as candy; white bread and sugary drinks are good.
