What are some high protein diets for weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Effective: About 1.2 gram of protein per kg of body weight has been found to be very effective to increase the metabolism and help with weight loss. You can complement that with less than hundred grams of complex carbs and fruits and veggies and about 40 g of plant or fish-based fat on a daily basis and expect at least 1-2 pounds of weight loss per week and more when complemented with regular exercise.
