Study: If You Are Going To Overeat, Overeat Protein

A new study which has appeared in The Journal of the American Medical Association has found that those who overeat any type of calories will gain fat, but those who consume excess calories by increasing protein (as opposed to other nutrients) gain substantially less fat and more lean muscle mass.

This is great news for those who…

• Don’t fully understand that it’s not just about counting calories but where those calories come from…
• Want to know how to gain lean muscle whilst minimizing fat gains…
• Want to know how to lose fat and keep it off…
