Cheeks said: "Let's start with the basics - eat more protein. If you're eating three meals a day, try to have a portion of protein with every meal."

The weight loss success story advised aiming for 15g to 30g of protein per meal.

She continued: "Why? Because protein will keep you feeling fuller for longer, and when you're on a weight loss journey, that's going to help."

If your body is feeling satiated, you are less likely to reach for unhealthy, unnecessary snacks throughout the day which could be dramatically increasing your calorie intake.

Getting enough protein is essential if you want to see positive results on the scales.

Protein helps with building and maintaining muscle mass, as well as providing that feeling of fullness.

Eating more protein is a very highly regarded weight loss hack. An article published in the National Library of Medicine reads: "Several clinical trials have found that consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

"Fairly long-term clinical trials of six to 12 months reported that a high-protein diet provides weight-loss effects and can prevent weight regain after weight loss."

As for how much protein we should be eating on a daily basis, Harvard Health stated: "The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is a modest 0.8g of protein per kilogram of body weight or 0.36 grams per pound."

Slimmers who want to see results may want to up their intake of beans, peas and lentils, nuts and seeds, lean meats, fish, dairy products and soy products.
