Protein performance in the weight loss process
Abstract
Losing weight is one of the most common desires among the population with obesity, overweight and even by people influenced by the media and the standard of a “perfect body”. To achieve weight loss, different diets are used as a strategy: low carb, intermittent fasting and high protein are some examples. In this context, the work proposed to evaluate in the scientific literature the use of proteins in the weight loss process, considering the frequency and possible damage caused by the high protein diet. As a methodological strategy, a bibliographic mapping of works published between the years 2006 and 2022 was carried out in Pubmed/MEDLINE and Science Direct data sources. The descriptors used in the searches were: proteins, weight loss, dietary strategies and consumption, words extracted from the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). The Boolean operators “AND” and “OR” were used to establish the relationship between the keywords in the searches. The results found showed that the use of protein was efficient in weight loss in conjunction with physical activity and a balanced diet. It was concluded that protein is efficient in the weight loss process, contributing to eutrophy, even though there is no unanimity about dosage and intervention time, emphasizing that the diet must be balanced and accompanied by healthy habits that involve physical activity and consistency.
