Protein may tip scales toward weight loss
Posted on: Wednesday, 18 March 2009, 00:09 CDT
A study financed by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association suggests dieters can lose more fat by choosing protein over carbohydrates.
Donald Layman, professor emeritus of nutrition at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, said dieters who eat too many carbohydrates often end up battling snack cravings, the Champaign News-Gazette reported Monday.
Layman study followed 130 people during four months of weight loss and eight months of maintenance. The group that followed a moderately high-protein diet in which 30 percent of their daily calories were protein-based, lost 38 percent more body fat over 12 months than those who followed USDA dietary guidelines that call for a diet that is 15 percent protein and 55 percent carbohydrates.
