The protein lever effect: Why we often eat more than we should! 🧬

According to research by scientists David Raubenheimer & Stephen J. Simpson, our bodies are said to have a naturally built-in “protein compass.” 🧭 have, according to which the body senses whether we have met our protein needs for the day or not. The compass, so to speak, ensures that we consume enough protein, because protein is vital - especially for building and repairing our body.👉 The problem? If we predominantly eat foods that are relatively low in protein, we will accordingly eat more of these, in order to get the required amount of protein in the end. The body basically forces us to “keep searching” or to eat more of these protein-diluted foods. The result? 🍕🍩🚨 Unfortunately, we consume more calories than we actually need.🍗 The solution? Choose foods with enough protein to satisfy your body's hunger for protein and avoid unnecessary excess calorie intake from foods rich in carbohydrates and fat. The best thing would be to start the day with a protein-rich breakfast and not to eat bread, fruit, etc. until dinner - this often takes its toll on your figure.
