A high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet and regular exercise led to improved weight loss in a recent dietary study conducted at the Department of Food Sciences and Human Nutrition, University of Illinois. Middle-aged women on a high-protein diet lost more total weight and fat mass and less lean mass than women on a low-protein, high-carbohydrate diet. But improvement in blood lipids differed between the groups. Low-protein subjects had a greater reduction in total and LDL cholesterol, while high-protein subjects had a larger reduction in triacylglycerol and maintained higher concentrations of HDL cholesterol.
