IMPORTANTANCE OF PROTEIN IN LOSING WEIGHT|WEIGTH LOSS DIETS

Besides just being a requirement for overall health and function, protein is an extremely important part of The Lose Weight Diet (and all weight loss diets) because of the roles it plays in controlling hunger and maintaining muscle while fat is lost. As far as food sources go, the best sources of protein tend to come from anything that used to be alive, or anything that came from something that used to be alive. Some high protein foods include:

chicken
fish
lean cuts of meat
turkey
eggs and egg whites
milk

Protein can also be found in all types of nuts, seeds and beans. And of course, there are always protein supplements in the form of powders, shakes and bars. I fully explain the purpose and benefits of protein supplements here: Protein Powder

As far as how much protein you should include in your weight loss diet plan per day, that depends on the person. For example, the average person who doesn't exercise at all needs less protein than someone who does. Something in the range of a MINIMUM of 0.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight might be alright in this case. For example, if the person weighed 180lbs, you would do 180 x 0.5 = 90 grams of protein per day.

However, someone who does exercise should eat somewhere in the range of .6 - 1.0 grams of protein per pound of body weight. In this example a person weighing 180lbs would look to eat between 108 - 180 grams of protein per day. This is what I'd recommend most often.

The only other thing you need to know about protein is that 1 gram contains 4 calories. So, for example, if you were to eat 100 grams of protein per day, that would account for 400 calories. (100 x 4 = 400)

Is it Impossible to Lose Weight Without Exercise

  Lose weight without exercise, is it possible? Which is better? Diet or exercise? Can you really get lean - and more importantly, stay lean - without exercise? Find out in this installment of BIG FAT LIES. Yes, you CAN lose weight by cutting calories it is 100% possible. But as we stated in other articles, if you did not read you should educate yourself about the dangers of starvation .

The starvation diet will actually slow down your metabolic rate and make weight loss even more difficult and weight gain much easier. That is a danger when using very low calorie diets .You almost always re-gain weight that's lost with highly restrictive diets. You should be using a slightly restricted diet on different intervals; we recommend you eat 6 times per day. Some people use calorie restriction out of necessity. For example people who are physically limited. Just a few are wheelchair-bound individuals who lost weight with calorie restriction alone.
People who are very obese or have orthopedic problems also need to start with dieting correctly otherwise it will be (making exercise difficult at first). They really only have a few options to start out with .However, for able-bodied people, dieting should be used sensibly in the correct way with good products and drinking plenty of water. You should also if at all possible attempt to also get some sort of exercise. Just a walk down the block is a good start. This will help stimulate your blood flow and metabolism.
