Health guru Dr Michael Mosley has outlined what dieters need to eat and how much protein is ideal to maximise your weight loss potential. The macronutrient makes up a large component of Dr Mosley's various diet plans and is a key factor in whether shedding pounds can be successful in the long term.
Increasing your protein intake has a number of benefits which can contribute to healthy weight loss. Eating foods high in the nutrient has been proven to help dieters keep fuller for longer as it reduces the hunger hormone ghrelin, supresses cravings and decreases the likelihood of making poor food choices.
Dr Mosley's Fast 800 website recommends following a Mediterranean style diet, packed with fish, legumes, beans, vegetables, fruit, Greek yoghurt and wholegrains. This should be combined with decreasing the amount of simple carbohydrates you eat to under 50g per day.
