It can help because it has a lot of protein and B-vitamins, which keeps you energetic. I used to sprinkle it on roasted makhana instead of cheese, and it worked well for my evening cravings. Just make sure you aren't overeating other things alongside.

It is actually pretty good yaar because it gives a cheesy flavor without all the calories of regular cheese. I use it on salads and popcorn. But obviously, just eating this won't make you lose weight unless your overall diet is clean.

Please don't jump into these trendy health foods blindly. I once tried a self-made extreme diet with random supplements to lose weight and ended up damaging my gut health badly. Go to a certified dietitian first and get your basic blood reports done before changing your diet.

My nutritionist at Apollo Hospital suggested nutritional yeast to me because I am vegan and needed B12. It helps with metabolism, but it's not a magic weight loss powder. You should ask your doctor if it fits into your specific calorie budget.
