Weight Management

Quick answers

Does protein help with weight loss?

It helps mainly through satiety — protein reduces hunger between meals and helps preserve muscle in a calorie deficit. It does not cause weight loss on its own; total calories decide the outcome.

How do I gain weight healthily?

Increase total calories with nutrient-dense foods — nuts, seeds, dals, paneer, whole grains — alongside resistance training so the gain is muscle rather than only fat.

Are meal replacement shakes good for weight loss?

They can help by making portion control easier, but only if they replace something heavier rather than adding to your usual intake.
