Every calorie you get from protein reduces your cravings for food significantly more then the equivalent carb and fats.
You still need to get over the initial insulin normalization though from reducing sugars. Nothing reduces that pain, no matter what you try.

I truly believe that satiety is dependent entirely on 1) what you're used to eating and 2) what you expect/culture. Years ago I was watching a video that interviewed a guy who owned an international fast food franchise somewhere in Asia, a burger place, like a McDonald's. He was saying a big difference between America and wherever they were was that they absolutely, positively MUST serve rice because in their culture most people don't find that burgers produce satiety, you need the rice otherwise you're still hungry.
Protein is more satiating "if and only if you are not getting enough protein for optimum body recomposition" which Menno in another video puts at 0.8g per lb of body mass.

Menno's videos are exceptional: science based and backed up by common sense.
