6. Add protein.

In 2015, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published research that proved how protein can support weight loss and its maintenance. Eating a high-protein diet helps you feel satiated during the day, which results in fewer food cravings. An ideal example would be a 2-egg omelet in the morning, a chicken wrap for lunch, and at least 4-6 ounces of poultry/fish/meat for dinner. If you are not a big fan of all the above, try substituting one of your snacks with a protein shake, Greek yogurt (22 g of protein per cup!), and/or cottage cheese.
