'The holidays are quickly approaching - And upon my diet, quickly encroaching.' ~ Weight Loss Weekly

Feeling hungry while trying to lose weight? Time to try filling up on protein! Protein can assist greatly in losing weight. Just a few reasons why in addition to some savvy weight loss tips:

Protein encourages the release of pent-up water retained by the body due to sodium overload (ie too much salt in the daily diet which can take 3 or more days to dissipate).

Protein can keep the body feeling full for long periods at a time.

Protein supports muscle health, fights fatigue and boosts energy levels.

While meat most often springs to mind when the word 'protein' is mentioned, animal proteins tend to be high in saturated fat grams. Opting for vegetable proteins makes a wise choice that one can feel good about.

Some great protein choices include: eggs, peanut butter, low fat cottage cheese (14 protein grams per serving), oats (4.6 protein grams per serving), low fat yogurt (9 protein grams per serving), buttermilk (8.1 protein grams per serving), cheese (most varieties of cheese contain about 6 protein grams per serving), tuna packed in water (25.1 protein grams per serving), turkey - dark meat (24.3 protein grams per serving).
