High Protein Weight Loss Diet Improves SleepPeople following a high protein diet to lose weight may enjoy a benefit beyond shedding pounds—a better night’s sleep.

In a study conducted by Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, 44 overweight or obese adults consumed either a normal protein or high protein diet designed for weight loss and were asked to rate the quality of their sleep throughout the process. Participants consuming higher levels of protein reported better sleep after three months on the diet.
