Which of the following is a benefit of a high-protein diet (with reduced fat and carbohydrate)? a. muscles get stronger without exercise. b. more muscle mass is lost while dieting. c. the foods consumed will have a lower caloric density.

b. More muscle mass is lost while dieting.

Explanation:

A high protein diet triggers a process in which the liver converts fat and body mass into substances that can be used by the body as a source of energy when carbohydrates are lacking (responsible for providing energy to the body). This mechanism, called ketosis, is essential for weight loss. The main argument in this diet is that the body is in ketosis, hunger simply does not exist, which leads to rapid mass loss.

a & b

Explanation:

a) High protein diet increases the potential for fat loss.

When you combine increased muscle mass, more satiety from your meals and an overall higher metabolic rate due to extra muscle and the thermic effect of eating more protein, ones body has more potential to lose body fat. You still need to be in an overall energy deficit to lose body fat, but having this combination of factors makes dieting much more effective and easier to sustain than other methods of body fat reduction.

b) High protein diet reduces calorie intake.

Protein-based foods tend to be more filling and satisfying, so eating more of them in your diet can result in fewer calories being consumed. Reducing the total amount of calories eaten every day can help you manage your weight more easily.

Other benefits of high protein diet includes;

Muscular development
