True or False: A Low Protein Diet is Best for Weight Loss

False.  While any ‘diet’ is dependent mainly on energy ‘volume’ (calories) and is, to a large extent, independent of specific nutrients beyond their calorie contribution, there are other advantages of some nutrients.  Protein can have a satiating effect so a reasonable intake of protein is likely to be better for weight loss than a low protein diet.  The R&D Diet Cookie is packed full of the best quality, most effective proteins so here is just another reason they will help you lose weight.
