Why Protein in Weight Loss Program?
Protein intake is recommended as a source of energy instead of carbohydrates; due to proteins are broken-down as amino acids, which are not stored by the body. In the same way, the body takes what is needed and the excess is excreted by the urine.
Carbohydrates become glucose into the blood stream. The excess that the body does not need is stored as body fat in the liver and muscles.
Finally, proteins help you to feel full. They help to rebuild the muscles; so the body will not be flaccid. There will be a great body form at the end of the weight loss program.
