How gelatin may help with weight loss
Low in calories, high in protein
Gelatin contains almost no fat or sugar, but it is rich in protein. Protein helps you feel full for longer, which may reduce overeating.
Increases satiety (feeling full)
When gelatin absorbs water, it expands in the stomach. This can help control appetite and reduce cravings between meals.
Supports muscles and metabolism
Gelatin contains amino acids like glycine and proline, which support muscle tissue. Maintaining muscle mass is important for a healthy metabolism during weight loss.
May improve digestion
Some people believe gelatin supports gut health, which can indirectly help with better nutrient absorption and weight control.
