12 Of The Biggest Weight Loss Myths

Myth #4: Having a protein rich diet can cause ketosis, which reduces hunger

With a high-protein diet, ketosis occurs when fat is used as an energy source, as opposed to carbohydrates being used.

Additionally, ketone bodies are actually produced, which give your breath this bad and fruity odor.

However, ketone bodies themselves don’t work to reduce your
appetite. By eating sufficient amounts of protein you can help reduce your hunger and in turn, support weight loss.
