A study published on the US National Library of Medicine revealed increasing the protein intake can boost the metabolism and burn up to 100 calories a day.
When the metabolism is raised, dieters will burn more calories and start to burn fat from across the body.
What’s more, foods high in protein can reduce cravings which means dieters are less likely to overeat or opt for unhealthy snacks.
One study revealed slimmers automatically ate 441 fewer calories per day by eating a high protein diet.
If trying to reduce carbs, slimmers can fill up on vegetables including broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, kale and cabbage.
Eating these foods should also be paired with a portion of fat, such as nuts, avocados, dairy or fatty fish.
Following a high protein diet has also proven to help slimmers lose up to ten pounds in one week.
Although this weight won’t purely be fat, slimmers can notice the scales go down by following the plan.
One low-carb diet plan is the keto diet which reduces the carb intake to around 25 net carbs per day.
Doing this is thought to put the body into a state called ketosis where it can burn more fat.
A keto-friendly breakfast includes eating eggs, bacon, avocado and cheese.
