According to a study published in the journal Food and Nutrition, though there are many ways to shed weight, scientists say that following a diet comprising vegetable protein would work best. Some clinical studies have shown that dieters can shed weight faster by following diets that`s low on carb and high on protein as it keeps them fuller for a longer duration. The high protein plant-based foods include vegetables, legumes and nuts.
According to reports, the study says, Proteins that come from vegetables fill your stomach better than meat and other animal products. The researchers analysed 43 young men who were asked to eat different breakfasts. One of the breakfast consisted of meat patty with potato mash. The other breakfast comprised of the patty made from legumes like lentils along with a mash made from split peas. The third breakfast consisted of a low protein patty with potato mash.
The results showed that the dieters remained more filled with high protein plant-based patty than meat patty. It was also found that the intake of calories was 12 to 13 percent lesser if they had legume burger at lunch.
Says the report, It is thought this could be down to the higher amounts of fibre in the legumes. It was found that adding fibre to your diet plan in 2018 will help you lose weight recently.
