Scientists believe they may have cracked the reason why protein-rich diets, such as Atkins, curb hunger.
They have discovered the diets spark glucose production in the small intestine - a phenomenon which leads to us feeling full.
The researchers, from the French research body INSERM, say the findings may help the development of new treatments for eating disorders.
The study, on rats, is published in the journal Cell Metabolism. It is well known that eating a protein-based diet reduces hunger pangs, and leads to people eating less food.
