protein rich meals may help dieters shed extra kilos by making them feel fuller, according to researches, including one of Indian origin.
the recent popularity of low carb, high protein diets can partially be attributed to the fact that dieters often feel fuller when protein intake is high even if they are consuming fewer calories overall. 
researchers including jaapna Dillon from the Purdue university in US, conducted a systematic review of the evidence of the effect of protein intake on perceived fullness and confirmed that protein does, infact make us feel fuller. "protein activates satiety hormone release and so should be most strongly tied with fullness ratings," said lead investigator Richard D Mattes.
there searchers used a variety if satistical approaches to kesense of the data. the analysis indicated that higher protein loadshave a greater effect on fullness than lower protein loada. with the confirmation that protein intake is related ti satiety, defined as fullness between meals, modestly higherprotein intake may allowa individuals to feel fuller between meals. yet while protein may help dieters feel fuller it is by no mean magic bullet. "feeling like hungers and fullness are not only the factors that influence intake. anyone who has ever felt too full to finish their meals but has room for dessert knows this all too well, " mattes said. however the researchers were not able to determine the exact amount of protein needed to prolong fullness
