Based on my own experience. I did notice right away that on the lo-carb
diet, I wasn't feeling cold like I had been on regular low fat/low cal.
diets. Perhaps there is a metabolic advantage with higher protein.

Increased Dietary Protein Modifies Glucose and Insulin Homeostasis in
Adult Women during Weight Loss (Journal Abstract) Added on: 4/29/2003
Hits: 263
From the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Journal of
Nutrition, 2003: In this study, researchers placed two groups of women
on
two diets, each of which was equal in calories and fat. One group was on
a
high protein, low carbohydrate diet and the second was on the USDA's low
protein, high carbohydrate diet. The researchers noted that both groups
lost 16 pounds on average, but the low carbohydrate, high protein group
lost more body fat and less lean body mass than did the USDA food
pyramid
group. The researchers also noted that women in the high protein group
had
more stable glucose levels,lower insulin levels, and lower cholesterol
levels.

High-Protein Beats High-Carbohydrate for Weight Loss in Low-Fat Diets
(Magazine Article) Added on: 12/27/2002 Hits: 1145
From the Arizona State University and the the Doctor's Guide, 2002:
This
team of researchers compared the thermogenic effects of two different
low
fat diets. The first low fat diet was high in protein and the second was
high in carbohydrate. The researchers found that the study participants'
body temperature and resting energy expenditure was 100% greater after


they had 100% greater body TEMPERATURE???

like, 194 degrees fahrenheit as opposed to normal 97????

they were very "well done" by that time, huh... Yummy, well done, low
carb dieters. Were they served with gravy?

must be some mistake somewhere.

i

eating high protein meals that after eating high carbohydrate meals.
They
concluded that the thermogenesis that occurs after high-protein meals
may
partially explain the effectiveness of high-protein diets for weight
loss.
