    Protein shakes don't "jump start" weight loss. They simply give you a lot of protein for a limited amount of calories. Hitting your minimum protein macro (1g of protein per pound lean body mass) is important when losing weight in order to maintain muscle. If you have a hard time getting enough protein and maintaining a small to moderate calorie deficit from food alone protein shakes can assist you. They are food, just like any other food.
