Both groups ate the same number of calories, but the second substituted for foods rich in high quality protein such as meat, dairy, eggs and nuts, for foods high in carbohydrates such as bread, rice, cereal, pasta and potatoes.

e because, when you restrict calories, you lose weight. But people with high-protein diet lost more. Some experts see this as a clear metabolic advantage for protein-rich diet.
