Like we mentioned earlier, abs are made in the kitchen. And one of the most important parts of your diet if you want to gain six-pack abs (or rather any muscle group), is going to be protein. Increasing the consumption of more protein helps in losing weight quickly, getting rid of that belly fat, and also promotes muscle growth.
Not only that but increasing protein intake also increases a sense of fullness and therefore controls appetite as compared to other kinds of food items.
A study revealed that people who enhanced the amount of protein in their diet by just 15% saw a decline in their caloric intake, and noticed a significant reduction in body fat and overall body weight.
Protein also plays a major role in repairing and rebuilding those torn muscle tissues, which promotes muscle growth necessary for six-pack abs.
Another benefit of having a diet rich in protein is that it preserves the muscle mass and at the same time, also ensures the metabolism doesn’t take a hit. Some of the good sources of protein that you should include in your diet are eggs, meat, seafood, poultry, legumes, nuts, and dairy products.
Summary – Protein can help curb caloric intake while at the same time also reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass. It also helps in rebuilding and repairing the muscle tissues broken during the workout. An overall winner!
