ABSTRACT
Obesity poses a grave risk to global health because of the high morbidity and mortality it
causes. Dietary interventions are essential to its control, and dietary protein's contribution to
the decline in obesity has received a lot of attention. In conclusion, increasing dietary protein
consumption is essential for reducing obesity. By increasing energy expenditure, controlling
appetite, and preserving lean body mass, high-protein diets can aid in weight loss. Protein
should be included in an obesity treatment strategy, but personal dietary choices, medical
issues, and general dietary patterns should also be taken into consideration. Overall, the
relevance of dietary protein as a component of all-encompassing weight management
techniques is highlighted by the function it plays in reducing obesity. An overview of the state
of knowledge regarding the connection between the consumption of protein from food and the
prevention and management of obesity is presented in this review.
