One year RCT of two low carb diets, 15% vs 30% protein. Higher protein destroys ‘adequate’ lower protein in every way. Before anyone claims this wasn’t low carb enough, the first 3 months of diet were only 5% carbs. https://t.co/GYcV0SS6iJ And hopefully now you’re ’aware’.
Relatively high-protein or 'low-carb' energy-restricted diets for body weight loss and body weight maintenance?

What people are saying
The collective discussions reflect a strong interest in the effectiveness of high-protein, low-carb diets for weight management, exemplified by references to key studies like Soenen et al. and debates about diet mechanisms. The tone combines scientific referencing with practical advice, suggesting a desire to understand and apply the findings, which makes the topic moderately impactful in shaping dietary choices.
Most discussions support the conclusion that higher-protein diets, especially with low carbs, are effective for weight loss, citing studies like Soenen et al. and emphasizing the significance of protein in fat reduction.
Participants show high curiosity, referencing specific research, debates on diet mechanisms, and sharing practical advice about access to studies, indicating strong engagement with the topic.
Posts involve detailed references to studies, methodological discussions, and calls for better access, reflecting moderate depth and active involvement in understanding the research implications.
The discussions potentially influence views on dietary strategies, with some highlighting the importance of protein and low-carb diets, thus having a measurable impact on health and nutrition conversations.
Abstract in brief
- The study compares four different diets (normal/high protein and normal/low carb) in terms of their effects on body weight, fat mass, and blood parameters over 3 and 12 months.
- High-protein diets (especially high-protein low-carb) tend to result in greater weight and fat loss compared to normal-protein diets, with some significant differences noted.
- The findings suggest that both high-protein and low-carb components can influence weight loss, but high-protein diets, particularly when combined with low carbs, may be more effective in reducing body fat and blood pressure.]

Most liked on X and BlueskySoenen et al are unsung heroes in current diet debate. Their 2012 experiment used 4 separate treatment arms to systematically determine whether the fat loss ‘magic’ was attributable to a diet’s higher protein content or its lower carb content. Guess which. https://t.co/4NWQnQKHxU https://t.co/zLT7DuQxwN
@raphaels7 @DietDoctor Hey Raphael I just came across this, interesting but I'm finding it hard to decipher https://t.co/hmLRCUpQ3I
@raphaels7 @realDaveFeldman @DrEenfeldt Sure, here you go. ☺︎ https://t.co/9jPV1wJLlJ
@martykendall2 I make this argument in my book, though with caveats about uncertainty. I think it's a better explanation for moderate LC than keto. This study provides some evidence but not definitive IMO. https://t.co/YUfK0fvMsn
@fmahmad88 We also have Soenen et al’s elegant isolation of higher protein (rather than lower carb) being the mediating factor in superior body fat reduction - likely due to increased satiety. https://t.co/OLN20daSs8

@JasonOutten @ScepticalDoctor @DrEenfeldt A classic & elegant example of what I'm talking about is Soenen et al's comparison of 4 groups: higher- versus lower-protein diets differing in carb-fat proportion. The higher-protein conditions won, regardless of carb-fat proportion. 2/2 https://t.co/4NWQnQtEvU

@BrianWileyCHC So to be clear. Do you consume less calories now than when you weighed 100 pounds more and were on a junk food diet? Do you consume more protein now or when you weighed 100 pounds more? https://t.co/EtyOBrwEMZ
