I Tried Eating Protein-Only Dinners and These Were the Effects
SHARE

Dinner time has always been a struggle for me, even before the protein craze took over. It’s that time of day when I’m most hungry, most tired, and most aware that a heavy dinner can affect my sleep. As someone on a weight loss journey, I know that metabolism slows down at night, burning fewer calories when we are less active. I’ve tried various strategies, but the one that has worked best for me is focusing solely on protein for dinner.

The obsession with protein is real, with some people consuming up to 35% more than necessary, according to nutritionist Melyssa Chang. However, it’s important not to overemphasize protein at the expense of other essential nutrients like fats and slow-absorbing carbohydrates. In my quest to incorporate more protein into my diet, I make sure to maintain a balance by paying attention to my vegetable, fat, and carbohydrate intake throughout the day.

I aim to have protein-only dinners four times a week while ensuring that I still get the necessary nutrients from other food groups in my other meals. By doing so, I prevent any imbalance in my diet and ensure that I don’t miss out on vital nutrients. It’s all about moderation and balance.

Nutritionist and biochemist Leticia Carrera recommends focusing on protein in the evening for weight loss. Protein keeps you feeling full and satisfied, which is crucial when trying to shed pounds. Carrera explains that since caloric expenditure is minimal at night, any excess food consumed during dinner will be stored as fat. Protein is essential for tissue formation and helps the body burn more energy to metabolize it, ultimately reducing the total calories consumed.

It’s important to note that I don’t rely solely on weighing myself at home to track my progress. Weight fluctuations throughout the day can be misleading, and it’s crucial to consider factors like water weight and muscle mass. As nutritionist María del Mar Silva emphasizes, true weight loss involves maintaining muscle mass, which isn’t accurately reflected on home scales.

Incorporating more protein into my diet has been a game-changer for me, especially during dinner time. By focusing on protein while still getting a balanced mix of nutrients throughout the day, I’ve found a sustainable approach to weight loss and overall well-being. It’s all about finding what works best for your body and making mindful choices to support your health goals.
