Some experts agree that protein can decrease the secretion of insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin is responsible for turning excess carbs into fat. So if you don't exercise, eating a high protein diet can in theory help you lose weight (fat). If you exercise, protein is broken down and used to repair and build muscle tissue, therefore, helping you to gain weight (lean tissue).
