Does Thermogenesis Help You Lose Weight Fast?

Copyright 2006

One of the many reasons everyone and their mother seems to

recommend eating a high protein diet to lose weight and

burn fat is because of this " thermogenic " effect.

People are under the misconception that you can lose a lot

of weight real fast without if you eat a high protein diet.

This is because protein DOES have a thermogenic effect on

the body...........but not enough to make an impact!

" Thermogenesis " or something that has a " thermogenic "

effect on the body refers to anything that causes the

temperature inside your body (sometimes your temperature on

the skin is different from the temperature inside, your

core temperature) to rise, to increase.

Well, we all know from school that the average / normal

core body temperature is 98.6 degrees.

However, when your core temperature increases, even by just

1 or 2 degrees, it is said that this higher temperature

causes the body to turn into a " furnace " , raising the

metabolism, which results in fat being burned. Here's

where everyone is missing the point.

Sure, protein causes the body to work harder to digest it,

which causes the body's internal temperature to rise, but

it is NOT enough to really make a dent in burning fat or

preserving muscle mass.

Researchers at Arizona State University examined

individuals that ate a high protein diet and compared them

to another group that ate a high carb diet.

What they found was that eating a high protein diet

resulted in an average of 30 calories per meal being burned

in digestion.

Read that again.......30 calories per meal.

Whoop-tee, doo!!!

30 calories!

Okay, then let's say you eat 5 meals a day.

30 calories per meal, 5 meals a day, that equals 150

calories.

So, you would only be burning an extra 150 calories a day

if you were to go on a high protein diet.

Big deal!!!!

150 calories is 1 cup of milk.

It's 2 eggs.

It's half a candy bar.

150 calories isn't going to make any difference whatsoever

in helping you gain weight, build muscle mass, or burn fat.

Everyone keeps saying, " Oh, but you can eat more protein

lose a ton of fat weight because of the thermogenic effect " .

Give me a break........150 calories.....I rather just cut

out 1 can of soda a day and get the same effect!

Don't be fooled by the " high-protein " fans.

They just want you to go out and spend your hard-earned

money on their bucket of protein.

If you are looking to lose weight and tone up, concentrate

on the overall calories.
