Whether you’re plant-based, dairy-free, or open to everything, there’s a protein supplement on the market for you. But will a protein shake help you lose weight? A study led by the University of Glasgow and involving researchers from Imperial College London revealed that combining an appetite-suppressing supplement with moderate exercise could help to burn fat faster. Protein is a powerful nutrient for appetite suppression and a diet high in protein can suppress the hormone ghrelin, which plays a role in making you hungry. Researchers will carry further research to see whether the effects are short-lived or if they last over time.
