Shocking Truth: 90% of Diets FAIL!

Shocking Truth: 90% of Diets FAIL! Here's the Protein Powered Secret to UNLOCK Lasting Fat Loss!

Why is it that only about 10% of us succeed at a fat loss diet?

Studies show that over two-thirds of adults in the US are overweight or obese, and many struggle to maintain weight loss after dieting (https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/index.html).

Dieting often leads to yo-yo cycles, leaving people frustrated. But a diet expert reveals the key to unlocking lasting fat loss.

• The Protein Powerhouse Advantage:

  Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests high-protein diets may lead to greater weight loss compared to standard-protein diets (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7539343/). Protein promotes satiety, reducing hunger and potentially leading to decreased calorie intake (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7539343/). Aim for at least 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight daily. This helps your body retain muscle and burn fat for energy. Experts suggest high-protein diets not only lead to more fat loss during the diet but also help prevent regain afterward.

• Creating a Sustainable Calorie Deficit:

  A well-established principle for weight loss is creating a calorie deficit. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends gradual weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week, achievable with a moderate calorie deficit of 500-1000 calories daily (https://newsinhealth.nih.gov/2022/12/healthy-weight-control). While initial rapid weight loss might occur when cutting carbs, this is primarily water weight loss due to how carbs store water in muscles (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK537084/). A better strategy is to reduce or choose less processed carbs that keep you fuller for fewer calories.

  

  • Balanced plate concept: Instead of rigidly planning out your

    meals most of your meals should look something like this picture below. First, fill a quarter of your plate with a protein [see above] to keep you full. Fill half of your plate with vegetables and or fruits. Next, balance out the last quarter of your

    plate with either carbs and/or fats.
