The importance of protein
- If you're hungry all the time, you probably need more protein. Our bodies can make us crave foods that we need the most.
- Research studies on infants have shown that they naturally choose a variety of foods that provide them with the proteins, vitamins, and minerals they need.
- The protein leverage hypothesis suggests that our bodies compel us to keep eating to get more protein. Eating the same number of calories, you will be hungrier on a low protein diet compared to a high protein diet.
