The body has to burn a lot of calories to break down raw fruits and vegetables. This is another secret that results in quick weight loss. People on a diet that is high in raw fruits and vegetables can be expected to lose weight faster or maintain their weight much longer. Related to this is eating fibrous food. Not only is fiber good for cleansing the colon, it also makes you feel full. You stop eating sooner.

The main reason why people lose weight when they are on a high protein diet is because protein suppresses appetite by keeping you fuller longer. You increase your body’s fat burning metabolism every time you eat protein because the body has to burn a lot of calories just to digest the protein in your body. This is the first time I learned about this and it seems so logical. It is said that you will eat up to 500 calories less daily when at least 30% of the calories you eat is from protein. I think this is worth a try.
