What is a complete protein?

While it's important to get enough protein in your diet, it's also crucial to ensure you're getting the right type of protein. A quick refresher from science class: Protein is comprised of 20 amino acids; 11 of these amino acids are produced by the human body. For good health, we must get the other nine amino acids (called "essential amino acids") from the foods we eat. When a food contains all nine of these amino acids, it is called a "complete protein."

Which foods are complete proteins?

Animal proteins are complete, including meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy. There are also a few plant-based sources of complete protein, including:

Quinoa

Buckwheat

Hempseed

Blue-green algae

Soybeans

Note: these sources may not contain as much protein per serving as animal products. "Don't get hung up on having to have a complete protein with every single meal," says Shayna Komar, a licensed and registered dietitian at Thomas F. Chapman Family Cancer Wellness at Piedmont. "Instead, aim for variety in your whole day."

Combining incomplete proteins to form a complete protein

If you're a vegetarian or vegan, or if you limit the amount of animal products you consume, you can combine incomplete, plant-based proteins to meet your body's needs. Combinations include:

Nuts or seeds with whole grains (peanut butter on whole wheat toast)

Whole grains with beans (beans and rice; hummus and pita bread; bean-based chili and crackers; refried beans and tortillas)

Beans with nuts or seeds (salad with chickpeas and sunflower seeds)

"You don't have to eat all of those in every single meal and not even in your full day," says Komar. "But it's a good idea to get a variety."

What part of the body starts losing weight first?

Mostly, losing weight is an internal process. You will first lose hard fat that surrounds your organs like liver, kidneys and then you will start to lose soft fat like waistline and thigh fat. The fat loss from around the organs makes you leaner and stronger.

timesofindia.indiatimes.com - Weight loss: Where do people lose weight first? | The Times of India

Where in the body you will lose weight first depends on your genes. Your focus might be to lose your belly fat first, but this is not in your control. Human is a complicated creature, so it cannot be clearly said where you lose or gain weight. But in most of the cases, the first place you put on the fat is generally the last place it comes off from. If your arms have gained fat recently, then you lose that fat first from there once you start exercising and following a healthy diet. If you have a pear-shaped body frame than you might just get smaller in size, but will retain the same frame of the body. But remember the fat cells do not disappear, if you will increase your calorie intake you will again gain weight. Mostly, losing weight is an internal process. You will first lose hard fat that surrounds your organs like liver, kidneys and then you will start to lose soft fat like waistline and thigh fat. The fat loss from around the organs makes you leaner and stronger.
