Protein makes you sated much more quickly than carbs, so a protein rich diet compliments losing weight.

also causes flatulence, lower gut mobility, skews the microbiome.

I have significant concerns about the protein diet fad and the increase of colon cancer in younger people.

Sugar should be avoided, but a balanced diet is important.

Try cumin and other herbs like savory if you suffer from flatulence. If you don't like cumin, eat it every day and increase the amount over time. The distinct flavor will decrease as your taste adapts to it.

Visceral fat is usually caused by protein deficiency, adding protein to the diet without any other changes to lifestyle or diet causes a reduction in visceral fat.

Visceral fat is usually caused by protein deficiency,

in cases of severe malnourishment.

I'm so done with the brah science in this thread.

No....

There's numerous studies if you bothered to search. These off the top of the first search engine I try:

It's very well established that increased protein intake reduces abdominal fat in pretty much every population

Maybe good protein, though protein shakes are often going to come with extra calories and junk that most people don't need to add to their diet anyways.

Especially if they're using a milk base or adding chocolate/etc to make tastier shakes. It's pretty damn easy to drink a surprising amount of calories. Milk can be more calories than beer by volume, for example.
