00:00Sufficient protein intake enhances metabolism through the thermic effect of food, TEF.
00:06The body expends more calories digesting protein compared to fats or carbohydrates.
00:11Increased TEF from protein consumption can contribute to effective weight management.
00:15Protein intake reduces appetite by increasing satiety hormones such as GLP-1.
00:20Protein intake also reduces appetite by decreasing hunger hormones such as ghrelin.
00:26Consuming protein at each meal helps control overall calorie intake throughout the day.
00:32Adequate protein consumption helps preserve muscle mass, especially during weight loss.
