Abstract in brief

  • The study compared two different low-fat diets for obese individuals over six months: one high in carbohydrates (HC) and one high in protein (HP), with all food self-selected and intake monitored through urinary nitrogen tests.
  • Results showed that participants on the HP diet lost significantly more weight (about 8.9 kg) and fat (about 7.6 kg) compared to those on the HC diet and the control group, with more people in the HP group losing at least 10 kg.
  • The HP diet also led to a significant decrease in blood triglycerides and free fatty acids, suggesting that replacing some carbs with protein in an ad libitum low-fat diet can enhance weight loss and improve lipid profiles, potentially allowing more dietary freedom and better adherence for obese patients.]

Replacement of seemingly minor amounts of dietary carbohydrate by protein in an ad libitum fat-reduced diet, improves weight loss. #weightloss #keto #science https://t.co/XWWGRFkF6g

Clinical trials have shown that consuming more protein than the RDA induces weight loss and improves body composition REGARDLESS of total energy intake which means that a person on a high protein diet will still lose more weight despite eating more https://t.co/wfZ65quqJJ

15. Outros estudos chegaram a mesma conclusão: comer (ou se entupir) de proteína DIMINUI a ingestão calórica no seu dia NATURALMENTE. Você tem menos apetite e acaba comendo menos. https://t.co/JOWd4KHrkf

#27 Usual diet vs 12% vs 30% protein (actual ~24.5%), replacing CHO. 6 months, outpatient, energy estimated from study shop 'purchases', partly blinded. Obese subjects. Results: Energy intake was 11.2 MJ/d vs 9.3 MJ/d in latter half of study. https://t.co/mR1ioYEQjs
