Abstract in brief

  • High protein diets promote weight loss by increasing satiety hormones, reducing hunger-related hormones like ghrelin, boosting the thermic effect of food, and improving glucose regulation through changes in gluconeogenesis.
  • Potential drawbacks include the risk of worsening metabolic diseases due to branched-chain amino acids, increased kidney acid load, and the possibility that excess protein may be converted to glucose or ketones, leading to weight gain if energy intake exceeds expenditure.
  • The review discusses both the beneficial metabolic effects of high protein diets and the caveats to consider, emphasizing a balanced view of their use for weight management.]
