After losing weight, people who eat very little carbs burn about 190 more calories per day than those who eat a lot of carbs, even when they’re eating the same amount of food and not exercising more.

For every 10% less carbs someone eats after losing weight, their body burns about 52 extra calories a day — like adding a short walk to their daily routine.

Whether you eat a high-protein diet with carbs or without carbs, your body burns about the same number of calories — carbs don’t make you burn more energy.

People who are overweight or obese can lose about 14.5 kg in around 8 months on a high-protein, low-carb diet, mostly from fat, while even gaining a little muscle.

After losing weight, eating more protein helps you keep it off because it keeps you full, burns more calories during digestion, and helps you keep muscle instead of losing it.

When healthy young people eat ultra-processed foods that are high in protein and low in carbs, they naturally eat about 200 fewer calories per day than when they eat ultra-processed foods with normal protein and carbs—even if both meals taste the same.
