Why we cite it

Systematic review of 48 RCTs (50 outcome comparisons) from Harvard that established the evidence base for protein's effects on thermogenesis, satiety, and weight loss — providing the review-level confirmation that protein reliably increases thermogenesis and satiety, while weight loss effects are less consistent.
