Eli5: why do people say to get at least 1g of protein for desired body weight when it comes to losing weight?
In: 18
If person losing weight and does not exercises 1g per kg gives followingd advantages which are mostly inprovment in quality of life (QOL)
high protein food has low callories and high volume ( eg chiken felle), thus helps to feel a bit more full and thus less stress.
If protein reserves runs low catabilism skyrocketing. While muscle mass reduces a bit to a certain level (and it can be a lot if oerson was orofecional sportsman and than stoped to exercise). But it half of problem. Catabolism causes extra stress to neural system. Therefore if reduce it effect by orotain intake person on diet will feel a bit better and weight loss process will have more chances to reach desired state.
During weightliss skin shrinks too. If protein is lacking skin is less elastic and less responsible to shrinking. That sometimes end up as not nice looking skin folds.
If talking about person who doing exersises than i am cobfused. Whenever i am looking recomendation is 3g of protein oer kg.
Note: never consume high protain dosage in one go ( unless you doing lots of exercise) or you might get orotain poisoning.
