This is Part 1 of a video protein series where Dr Sebely Pal, Professor in Bariatric Medicine, Registered Nutritionist, and Clinical Weight Loss expert explores the intricate relationship between protein, lean muscle mass, metabolism, weight management, glucose control, satiety, and overall health. Protein is often hailed as the building block of life, and for good reason. It plays a crucial role in building and repairing tissues, including muscles, especially for muscle tears occurring during exercise. By incorporating an adequate amount of protein into your diet, you can support the growth and maintenance of lean muscle mass, you can prevent a drop in metabolic rate. I will explain in this video how this is critical for long term fat loss. I will also explain the theory of "Protein Leverage Hypothesis" and why your body craves and seeks protein. But protein's benefits don't stop there. It also has a significant impact on metabolism, as it requires more energy to digest compared to carbohydrates and fats. This thermic effect of food can help boost your metabolic rate and aid in weight management. Additionally, protein has been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels and improve glucose control. By including protein-rich foods in your meals, you can potentially reduce spikes in blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity, which is crucial for preventing metabolic disorders like diabetes. Furthermore, protein is known for its satiating effect, meaning it can help keep you feeling full and satisfied for longer periods and cam provide effects similar to some weightloss drugs. This can be particularly beneficial for those looking to manage their weight or control their appetite. Overall, prioritizing protein in your diet can have a multitude of positive effects on your health and well-being. From supporting lean muscle mass to enhancing metabolism, glucose control, and satiety, protein truly is a powerhouse nutrient that should not be overlooked. Be sure to come back to watch Part 2 of this series next week when I will talk about the evidence-based recommendations of how much protein you actually need to eat.
