The process of losing belly fat depends heavily on protein, because it helps construct and maintain muscle tissue while providing satiety. According to Dr Manickam, ‘Calories matter, but protein matters more.’ Your daily protein consumption should amount to 30-35% of total calories, which you can obtain from eggs, chicken, fish, beans and dairy products. The combination of muscle preservation and reduced hunger and cravings, enables you to control your food portions effectively. The digestion process of protein requires your body to expend more energy, than it does for fats and carbohydrates. A proper protein balance in your diet will maintain your metabolic rate, and enable your body to transform fat into muscle tissue, during weight loss.
