Protein enhanced Diet: more fat loss, easier to keep doing
A new, not yet published, Danish study shows why making sure that you get enough protein in your diet is good for your body composition and fighting obesity.
The researchers compared two groups and used a fat-reduced diet (30% of energy). One group was asked to use a little more protein in their diet instead of carbs.
The higher protein group got 25% of their energy from protein.
The lower protein group got 12% of their energy from protein.
Weight loss after 6 months
Higher protein: 9.4 kg
Lower Protein: 5.9 kg
The first 6 months the study was strictly controlled. After a total of 12 months 8% of the higher protein group gave up compared to a whopping 28% of the lower protein group. This makes it VERY CLEAR that changing your diet to include a little more protein makes it easier to maintain your body weight. This is exactly what researchers are already finding more and more in different studies!
Another interesting fact from this study is the change in fat around the mid section. The higher protein had 10% less abdominal fat. Bring on the washboard abs!
