London – How to lose weight faster? Experts concur that obtaining protein from plant sources is generally better for the body as a whole. To start, compared to animal protein, plant-based protein sources typically contain more fibre. “When it comes to weight loss, it’s especially important to be not only having high protein in the diet, but also a high fibre diet,” said Velazquez. “Animal protein is not going to have as high fibre as plant-based proteins.” According to Amber Schaefer, MS, RDN, clinical nutrition lead and nutrition instructor at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, while plant-based protein may be the best choice, this does not imply that a person must become a vegetarian or vegan right once. Instead, whenever you can, create substitutions. “We do recommend at least getting three servings of some form of legume, whether that be lentils or chickpeas, or if you like, beans,” said Schaefer. “Just switching out maybe the red meat from that week so you’re reducing the amount of saturated fat that you’re getting.”
