People lose more weight on high protein, low-carbohydrate diets than on high-carbohydrate or mixed diets- at least at the beginning of a weight-loss program. Protein promotes satiety (fullness) better than carbohydrates. Danish scientists found that the type of protein may be important for curbing hunger. They fed a meal accompanied by a drink containing whey or casein or skimmed milk. Milk curbed energy intake best, but drink composition had no effect on energy expenditure, or protein or carbohydrate use.
