Answer:
Which of the following is a benefit of a high-protein diet (with reduced fat and carbohydrate)? a. More muscle mass is lost while dieting. b. The foods consumed will have a lower caloric density. c. Muscles get stronger without exercise. d. Cells are more sensitive to insulin
Answer: a & b
Explanation:
a) High protein diet increases the potential for fat loss.
When you combine increased muscle mass, more satiety from your meals and an overall higher metabolic rate due to extra muscle and the thermic effect of eating more protein, ones body has more potential to lose body fat. You still need to be in an overall energy deficit to lose body fat, but having this combination of factors makes dieting much more effective and easier to sustain than other methods of body fat reduction.
b) High protein diet reduces calorie intake.
Protein-based foods tend to be more filling and satisfying, so eating more of them in your diet can result in fewer calories being consumed. Reducing the total amount of calories eaten every day can help you manage your weight more easily.
Other benefits of high protein diet includes;
Muscular development
Reduce calorie intake
Increase overall daily calorie burn
Gain more strength from your training
Stronger tendons and faster recovery from injury
Better sleep patterns
Better quality of life
