Diet: Is the new high-protein low-saturated fat” diet the answer to weight loss?

The heated debate, within diet circles, that began a few years ago
and continues today is over the effectiveness of the high-protein,
low-carbohydrate, type diet versus its counterpart, the
high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet.

To the delight of the Atkins diet enthusiasts, recent studies have
suggested that a diet high in protein and low in fat has a greater
effect on diet induced thermogenesis (calorie burning) than a high
carbohydrate low fat diet.

Before we go further we need to familiarize you with a few terms we
will be discussing in this article. Your total daily energy
expenditure (TDEE) is the total energy your body burns in a day.
TDEE consists of 3 components: diet induced thermogenesis (DIT),
basal metabolism, and physical activity.
