Perhaps her study is the one mentioned in today's Experts Ping-Pong on Protein Advice by someone reporting on the doings of the 85th ADA meeting:
Quote:
For example, one new study looked at two groups of dieters: one with a high-protein regimen — 125 grams of protein and 171 grams of carbs — and one with a high-carbohydrate regimen — 68 grams of protein and 246 grams of carbs. Both groups were also required to exercise.
At the end of four months, people who ate more protein lost more weight — 22 pounds versus 15 pounds. Further, people on the high-protein diet had lost more fat and less muscle than the group on the high-carb diet.

The HP diet mentioned could be an active person's Zone diet if they get at least 50 grams of fat. The second diet is close to the USDA's 2000 calorie 56 g P: 300 g C or more: 65 g F or less recommendations. |
