High protein diets promote inflammation of the arteries. Doubling daily protein intake could significantly increase the risk of atherosclerosis, a major cause of heart attacks.

The principle is simple: you need to increase the ratio of proteins on your plate to benefit from their appetite suppressant effect and their very low fat content. These sources of protein are generally provided by the consumption of meat, fish and dairy products but also products of plant origin (lentils, cereals, soya, etc). Whatever their nature, proteins are essential for the proper functioning of our body.
