Study Shows Whey Protein Helps with Weightloss

Researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture published the results of a double-blind, randomized clinical trial showing that whey protein-but not soy protein—is a powerful tool to help weight loss efforts.

The study involved 90 overweight and obese participants who received either 56 grams per day of whey protein, 56 grams per day of soy protein, or 56 grams per day of carbohydrates for 23 weeks. These nutrients were consumed in two smoothie beverages during the day. Other than that, the participants were given no dietary advice and could eat anything else they wanted.

At the end of the study, those who consumed whey protein were 4-5 pounds lighter, their waistlines were smaller, and their hunger was better under control (they had lower ghrelin levels). It is rather amazing that such progress could be made even though there was no effort to actually eat better.

This study is the latest in an impressive body of research in humans on the benefits of whey protein for metabolic fitness, which includes improving insulin resistance and lowering cholesterol, as well as helping weight loss.

Lose Double The Weight

How?

By logging what you eat in a Food Diary. A Study Conducted by the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research showed that dieters lose nearly twice as much weight by keeping a Food Diary than those who dont.

Keeping a Food Diary is an effective way to lose weight because it gives you a birds eye view of what you are eating.

At the end of the day you can look back at what you ate, analyze it, and see where you made good food choices and where you need improvement.  Keeping track of what you eat also gives you accountability for your actions. You are more likely to make healthier food choices if you are logging everything you put in your mouth down. Tell at least one other person that you are keeping a food diary and show it to them regularly. This will add more accountability to the picture.

In order to have an effective Food Diary you must be as specific as possible.
Write down the food item, the time you ate it, the portion size (ex. 1 cup, 6 oz,), how the food was prepared (ex. fried, boiled, sauteed, raw)

I like using a memo pad specifically for this purpose.
