Protein Diet Plus Exercise Results in More Weight Loss
Sep 13, 2005
Women who follow a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet
may lose more weight and body fat, particularly when
they engage themselves in regular exercise in compared
to those whose diets are low in protein and high in
carbohydrates.
A recent study states that a protein-rich diet, restricting
carbohydrates, is a very good way to lose weight. It
definitely enhances the benefits of doing exercise.
The report indicates that both a high-protein and a
high-carbohydrate diet are effective for women who desire
to reduce their cholesterol level or otherwise improve
their blood lipid profile.
A growing body of research points to the benefits of
low-calorie
diets that are low in carbohydrates and high in protein.
Regular exercise is also known to be both a necessary
component of any effective weight loss strategy and
key to the maintenance of that weight loss.
Those who consume high-protein diet lose more body weight
and total fat and less lean muscle mass in comparison
to those on the high-carbohydrate diet.
