That might be because protein stimulates the production of insulin as much as, if not more, than carbohydrates, and for people who don't have a fucked up grelin/leptin feedback loop, insulin is a powerful appetite suppressant.
Are you stating this as fact or just hypothesizing? If as a fact, do you have a source?
A couple, actually:
- Here for the satiety effect of high protein intake;
- Here as just one of the several example of proteins inducing a high insulin response.
Low carb diets also restrict refined carbs, so people are less likely to bounce their blood sugar.
