Is casein protein good for weight loss?

My son wanted to buy expensive casein powder for his fitness journey, but I advised him to stick to natural sources like low-fat paneer and milk. It has the same slow-digesting protein, is much safer, and doesn't contain any artificial chemicals.

My grandmother always said that slow-digesting foods keep the body steady. However, my dietician explained that while casein protein keeps you full, you must still maintain a calorie deficit to actually lose weight. Always take a doctor's advice on supplements.

In our younger days, we never had these fancy protein powders and still stayed fit. If you want to lose weight, eat light dinners, walk daily, and have a small glass of warm milk at night. That is the natural way to get casein and sleep well.

Casein is great because it forms a gel in your stomach and releases protein slowly over 7-8 hours. I take it right before bed so I don't get midnight cravings, and it definitely helped me drop a few kilos along with proper gym workouts.

Casein is super expensive compared to whey, but it does keep you full for longer. I tried it for a month, but honestly, eating a bowl of curd or some paneer before sleeping works just as well and is much cheaper for a college budget.
