Mindsip insights from this episode:
Define low-protein diet to stimulate metabolism
In the context of this study, a low-protein diet that stimulates metabolism is defined as getting 9% of your total calories from protein.
Choose high-protein or low-protein diets for effective fat loss
Both high-protein and low-protein diets can lead to fat loss, with high protein increasing satiety while low protein stimulates metabolism.
Leverage FGF21 hormone for metabolic boost after low-protein meals
This metabolic boost is driven by a hormone your body produces called FGF21, which increases specifically after a low-protein meal.
Boost metabolism with a low-protein diet
A low-protein diet can increase your metabolism, allowing you to eat significantly more calories while maintaining the same body weight.
Avoid low-protein diets if over 60 or active
A low-protein approach may carry risks for individuals over 60 or those engaged in strenuous physical activity who have higher protein requirements.
Make fat cells' mitochondria less efficient to boost energy expenditure
The diet may work by making your fat cells' mitochondria less efficient, forcing them to burn more fuel to produce the same amount of energy.
Investigate mitochondrial uncoupling as a potential metabolic mechanism
Although mitochondrial uncoupling is a plausible explanation for the metabolic boost, the study failed to directly prove this was the mechanism.
