Can Eating Lots of Protein Help Lose Weight?

Dream - Having an ideal body is the dream of many people. Reducing carbs and increasing protein is often done by many people who are on a diet to lose weight.

But is it true that high protein can help you lose weight?

Yulia Baltschun, a chef who now focuses on sharing information about health, diet tips, and exercise on the YouTube platform, explains that when you want to diet, there is a certain amount of protein that a person must fulfill in the video titled "Jumlah Protein untuk Cepet Turun Berat Badan" ("Amount of Protein to Quickly Lose Weight").

Yulia explains that according to RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance), it is 0.8 grams/kg body weight per day. However, if you are on a calorie deficit, it is recommended to calculate 1.6 - 2.2 grams (per kg body weight). If you lift heavy weights or engage in intense exercise, you can calculate it as 2.2 - 3.4 grams (per kg body weight).

The easiest way to track daily calories and protein needs is to use various calorie tracking applications.

Regulate the portions of the food you want to eat so that it is not excessive and does not cause weight gain or blood sugar spikes. You can eat or drink in crowded places to better control your appetite.

3. Regulate Calories and Nutrients

Choose foods or beverages that are not only delicious and high in calories, but also rich in nutrients. If your body lacks nutrients when consuming certain foods or beverages, make sure you reserve daily calories to meet your daily nutritional needs with other intake.
