Is eating protein good for weight loss?
I've been trying to incorporate more protein into my diet, mostly through chicken and dal, for weight loss. Does eating protein actually help with losing weight, or is it more about overall calorie deficit?

Yes, absolutely. For vegetarians, getting enough protein from paneer, dal, and sprouts is very helpful for weight loss because it prevents muscle loss and keeps you full.
I want to start adding more protein for weight loss, but I am a bit confused. Is it necessary to buy protein powders, or can I get enough just from normal home food?
Look, protein definitely helps you feel full and control your cravings, but it is not a magic pill. You still have to stop eating fried snacks and sweets to see actual results.
Yes, it actually works. I started adding boiled eggs and soya chunks to my hostel diet, and my random midnight cravings have gone down a lot.
Adding high-protein foods like paneer, sattu, and eggs to your regular meals is a very practical way to lose weight. It is cheap, keeps you energetic, and stops you from overeating.
Increasing my protein intake really helped manage my insulin resistance and weight with PCOS. Just be careful to choose natural sources and don't make drastic changes without consulting your doctor.
Yes, protein keeps you full and is highly recommended for healthy weight loss.
Yes, protein is essential. It prevents you from losing muscle while you are burning fat, so make sure to include some source of protein in every meal.
According to my physician, protein has a high thermic effect of food, meaning your body burns more calories digesting it. He recommended targeting 1 gram of protein per kg of body weight for healthy fat loss.

I tried increasing my protein but started getting quite bloated and constipated. Did anyone else face this issue when they changed their diet for weight loss?
Yes, protein is very good, but as someone with high BP, I have to avoid red meats for protein. I rely on egg whites and dal, and keep a check on my health metrics regularly.
In our younger days, we ate plenty of dals, milk, and chana to stay strong. Protein is good for the body, but make sure to drink plenty of water to help digest it properly.
