| Protein Diet |
To determine the effect of dietary protein to understand, we need to understand how the energy in our body is supplied. Through our daily diet we take carbohydrates, fats and proteins (proteins) in our body. These are the carbohydrates and fats that provide the energy that our bodies need to function. The proteins do provide care for the building, maintenance and repair of tissues in the body.
Burning carbohydrates versus fats?
In "normal" circumstances, the body will first burn carbohydrates to meet energy needs. One can consider carbohydrates as the "current account" which the normal daily energy requirements are met. It is only when these current account can not meet the energy that our bodies change channels to the burning of fats that we can consider as our "savings account" (This will be the only time that we want to plunder our savings account).
