Lose pounds faster with an omelet

Munch on high-protein foods at every meal, and you’ll lose weight effortlessly. Folks in a University of Washington School of Medicine study dropped 11 pounds in 12 weeks. Filling up on protein throughout the day curbs hunger, so you eat 441 fewer calories. It also counteracts age-related muscle loss (a key cause of weight gain), helping you torch 142 more daily calories by maintaining fat-burning muscle cells.
