Dhaka, Feb. 4 -- Celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar has questioned the growing obsession with protein-rich diets, calling it a weight-loss myth that mainly benefits the health and wellness industry rather than consumers.

In an interview with The Hindu, Diwekar said there is little scientific basis for the widespread fear of protein deficiency among the urban and middle-class population. She argued that people who have access to basic necessities such as clothing, education and technology are unlikely to be protein-deficient. According to her, true protein deficiency is more common among people living below the poverty line, who lack access to adequate nutrition overall.
