Protein May Fill You Up, But It Isn’t a Magic Weight-Loss Fix

Experts say higher-protein meals can increase fullness for about 3–4 hours and may modestly help with weight loss, but the effect is small and not guaranteed long-term. Protein is just one factor affecting appetite—the mood, genetics, and food environment matter too. For lasting fullness and health, prioritize protein from whole foods paired with fiber, aiming for about 20–30 g of protein and at least 8 g of fiber per meal, and include resistance training to preserve lean mass.

Meal timing fails to improve sleep, large TRE study finds

A 12-week trial of nearly 200 adults with overweight/obesity compared early, late, and flexible daily eating windows. Sleep duration, sleep quality, and mood were similar across all groups; the only notable difference was about 12 minutes more total sleep for early TRE vs usual care. The findings suggest that shifting dinner time alone is unlikely to meaningfully boost sleep, and practical decisions should be guided by personal schedules and hunger patterns rather than expecting a sleep payoff.
