Eating more protein while losing weight helps you lose fat instead of muscle and improves your blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

Some studies show that eating more protein helps people lose more weight and body fat, but not all studies agree on this.

When people who lost weight eat more protein, their bodies use more of that protein for energy and repair, rather than storing it.

When obese women eat more protein while losing weight, they tend to gain more muscle and lose more fat than when they just eat fewer calories overall.

When you eat a high-protein diet with no carbs but lots of fat, you feel less hungry and more full than when you eat the same amount of protein but with some carbs.
