Low protein makes you eat more and gain weight: Prashant Desai

Referring to a 30-year study, Prashant Desai, a health educator, explained that protein requirements dictate appetite. When humans consume low-protein, high-carb diets, they overeat to meet their protein needs, leading to obesity. Conversely, a high-protein diet naturally reduces food intake because the body’s primary requirement is satisfied earlier, preventing the "always hungry" feeling.
