Protein and Weight Management â. Consuming a higher protein diet can help you lose weight. Protein helps regulate appetite and cravings by enhancing the feeling of fullness for longer after a meal or snack.
Protein is key to such reactions as metabolism, DNA replication and molecule transportation. They are also key in making sure the human body reacts properly to stimuli. Proteins do not exist for extended periods of time, which is why they need to constantly be recreated and taken in as part of a balanced diet. The proteins eventually degrade or are exported out of the cells.
