High-Protein Diet

Meaning

A High-Protein Diet is a structured nutritional regimen defined by a substantially elevated intake of protein, often exceeding the standard dietary reference intake, while concurrently adjusting the proportion of fat and/or carbohydrate consumption. In the context of hormonal and metabolic health, this dietary approach is clinically employed to support the maintenance and accrual of lean muscle mass, enhance the sensation of satiety, and improve overall glycemic control by influencing key gut hormones. The precise protein target is tailored to the individual’s clinical goals and physiological requirements.
