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
I'm curious about this, can you recommend a study you have actually read yourself?
To the best of my reading visceral fat is directly reduced by reducing insulin levels. Perhaps increased protein intake is associated with reduced carbohydrate intake, which can reduce elevated insulin levels? I'd love to see a study that separates out protein and carbohydrate consumption as variables.
As far as a mechanism goes, my understanding is that high quality complete protein stimulates metabolic changes in gut microbiota. Not changes in species so much or diversity, but activating amino acid regulated pathways and metabolism. Diet quality is typically poor in those with high visceral fat, even if from a very high level perspective macro nutrient targets are hit.
This is quite interesting because as far as I understand, increasing protein intake increases insulin release.
This paper from nature is interesting and one of the few that go into looking at potential mechanisms: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-94916-9
Thanks for the paper, I'll read it.
Protein does not stimulate insulin release in a meaningful way, it's a very minor imperceptible bump. While technically true that more protein means more insulin. It's almost nothing, and it's blown away by any amount of carbohydrates.
