LET PROTEIN BE YOUR SAVIOR!
Your weight is constantly controlled by brain (hypothalamus) which in turn secretes hunger hormone. The release of hunger hormones is also regulated by feeding habits.
a higher intake of protein rich diet actually increases levels of the satiety(apetite reducing hormone) GLP1,PEPTIDE-YY,CHLOECYTOKININ,and reducing hunger hormone GHERLIN.
By replacing carbs and fat with protein, you reduce the hunger hormone and boost several satiety hormones.
This leads to a major reduction in hunger and is the main reason protien helps you loose weight it can make you eat fewer calories automatically.
