A recently published study in the Journal of the American Medical Association has shown that skipping high-protein foods may lead to overeating and is often one of the biggest causes of excess weight gain. Following a high-protein healthy eating plan and performing resistance-training workouts can improve your body composition. Lisa recently shared the benefits of protein on NewsChannel 8!
 
Protein has many benefits and important functions in the body…. 
  • Increases muscle tissue, lowers fat tissue, and helps muscles recover faster
  • Strengthens nails, hair, bones, and cells (which are all made from protein)
  • Helps fight infection
  • Regulates blood sugar and energy levels
  • It is involved in every chemical reaction in the body, since enzymes are made up of protein
