Weight loss: Diet that includes THIS ingredient will stop you feeling hungry

However, research has revealed there is one key ingredient to incorporate into a diet to ensure weight loss without hunger.

Whey protein has been found to blast fat while keeping dieters satiated.

Those hoping to pack on muscles have long known about incorporating whey into a diet, as it also helps muscle growth.

One study, which investigated the effect of the protein in conjunction with resistance training, found “resistance training or provision of adequate amounts of dietary protein can increase muscle protein synthesis in healthy adults”.

Another study, in Australia, tested the link between appetite and consumption of whey protein.

28 obese men were given fructose, glucose and whey protein drinks. Those who consumed the beverage containing 50 grams of whey had significantly reduced levels of ghrelin (a hormone that tells your brain you’re hungry) up to four hours later.

A 2011 study found those who got 25 per cent of their calories from protein cut cravings by 60 per cent, and reduced the desire for late-time snacking by half, compared to those on lower protein diets.

Whey protein can be bought as a powder, or in protein bars. There is also a water recently launched in the UK, Protein Water Co, which offers 20g of protein per 500ml drink.

The award winning water, which was created by British innovator Henry Western, has no added sugar, zero fat, and no artificial sweeteners, flavours, colours or preservatives.

High protein, low carb diets have become massively popular with those hoping to lose large amounts of weight.

Many take to social media to share their success stories, including one man who lost five stone in just over three months.

After commenters questioned how lost the weight, he said: “I just started eating really clean.

“I reduced my carb intake to 20 carbs per day, calories was between 1400-1700 per day and I worked out 3-4 times per week.

“Also drank a ton of water and the weight just flew off.”

He also revealed he was “fortunate to not have any extra skin” despite losing so much weight.

Detailing his plan further, and explaining he followed the Keto diet, he said: “I ate high protein. Once I drop another 20 pounds, I’m going increase the calories and try to build some muscle. I only drink a post workout shake. I use Gold Standard 100 per cent Whey protein powder.”
