🤣 I do it to keep weight on so what puzzles me is people who drink protein drinks to lose weight. My diet plan is pretty simple (it’s just a basic hierarchy of choices):
eat the option with the most fiber
that being equal, eat the option with the most protein
THAT being equal, eat the thing with the highest polyunsaturated fat
after that, eat the thing that tastes best and has the least uncomplicated carbohydrates
eat the thing with the least trans fat
I usually don’t even get past #2 and very rarely past 3.
As people with colostomy bags will show you (if you ask nicely) protein and fat do not make it into the intestines, and do not cause flatulence.
skews the microbiome.
This is true, the microbiome is highly adjustable, and will tailor itself to whatever food your consuming.
I have significant concerns about the protein diet fad and the increase of colon cancer in younger people.
If your talking about carnivore, please note that protein does not go up on a meat based diet, its the fat that increases. Take the standard macros (15% protein roughly) and replace the carbohydrates with fats.
Try cumin and other herbs like savory if you suffer from flatulence. If you don’t like cumin, eat it every day and increase the amount over time. The distinct flavor will decrease as your taste adapts to it.
Maybe good protein, though protein shakes are often going to come with extra calories and junk that most people don’t need to add to their diet anyways.
Especially if they’re using a milk base or adding chocolate/etc to make tastier shakes. It’s pretty damn easy to drink a surprising amount of calories. Milk can be more calories than beer by volume, for example.
Nobody should be drinking those to lose weight, because weight lifting to the point of needing extra protein is very much a way to gain mass, and doing both at once(gain mass and slim up) is extremely hard. Weight lifting being the most obvious way someone might actually need extra protein.
Other exercise, outside of extreme situations, doesn’t need extra-high protein intake, so it’s just excessive. Especially for lower intensity exercise that someone looking to slim up should be doing more of.
Also with how much extra junk a lot of those protein powders/bars/etc come with, it’s just ill advised. Sugar, cholesterol, carbs, etc. Some are really bad choices in general vs just eating a normal meal.

Protein makes you sated much more quickly than carbs, so a protein rich diet compliments losing weight.
also causes flatulence, lower gut mobility, skews the microbiome.

Sugar should be avoided, but a balanced diet is important.

As far as cancer goes, there is no credible link between protein consumption and cancer. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/red-meat#cancer
