Protein Intake and Weight Loss in Obese Men and Women with Cardiometabolic Risk Factors

Background Despite its popularity, increasing dietary protein appears to have modest effects on weight loss.

We studied the association between protein intake and weight loss in obese men and women with cardiometabolic risk factors.
