Weight loss with cardio exercise goes faster the more protein your diet contains, and the less fat and carbohydrate.
Researchers suspect that the protein-rich diet increases muscle mass. Resting muscles use fat as their main fuel. This explains why the fat mass is reduced, partly at least. But, this study suggests, there seems to be another way in which a protein-rich diet raises fat burning: active muscles burn more fat if you consume more proteins.
Our theory: the amino acid leucine in the extra proteins provides an anabolic stimulus. Leucine forces the muscle cells to save protein, and possibly to some extent glucose too. That’s why active muscle cells burn slightly more fatty acids with low-intensity exercise.
