The role of dietary protein in weight loss and weight maintenance encompasses influences on crucial targets for body weight regulation, namely satiety, thermogenesis, energy efficiency, and body composition. Protein-induced satiety may be mainly due to oxidation of amino acids fed in excess, especially in diets with "incomplete" proteins. Protein-induced energy expenditure may be due to protein and urea synthesis and to gluconeogenesis; "complete" proteins having all essential amino acids show…

Dietary Protein and Energy Balance in Relation to Obesity and Co-morbidities

Higher- protein diets may reduce overweight and obesity, yet whether high-protein diets, beyond their effect on body-weight management, contribute to prevention of increases in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease NAFLD, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases is inconclusive.

Dietary protein - its role in satiety, energetics, weight loss and health.

Dietary protein contributes to the treatment of obesity and the metabolic syndrome, by acting on the relevant metabolic targets of satiety and energy expenditure in negative energy balance, thereby preventing a weight cycling effect.

The role of protein in weight loss and maintenance.

Data suggest that higher-protein diets that contain between 1.2 and 1.6 g protein · kg-1 · d-1 and potentially include meal-specific protein quantities of at least ∼25-30 g protein/meal provide improvements in appetite, body weight management, cardiometabolic risk factors, or all of these health outcomes; however, further strategies to increase dietary compliance with long-term dietary interventions are warranted.

The role of dietary protein in obesity

It is reasonable to conclude that no individual nutrient is a friend or a foe when it comes to weight loss and its maintenance, and any diet that best suits one’s dietary habits and food preferences is likely to be better adhered to, and thus lead to more successful long-term weight loss.

A high-protein diet for reducing body fat: mechanisms and possible caveats

The mechanisms whereby a high-protein diet may exert beneficial effects on whole body metabolism are explored while possible caveats associated with the consumption of a high -protein diet are presented.

Clinical Evidence and Mechanisms of High-Protein Diet-Induced Weight Loss

In conclusion, HPD is an effective and safe tool for weight reduction that can prevent obesity and obesity-related diseases, however, long-term clinical trials spanning more than 12 months should be conducted to further substantiate HPD effects.

Metabolic advantages of higher protein diets and benefits of dairy foods on weight management, glycemic regulation, and bone.

The scientific literature assessing metabolic advantages associated with higher protein diets on weight management, glycemic regulation, and bone is reviewed, with emphasis given to studies evaluating the potential benefits associated with dairy.

Comparison of high-protein diets and leucine supplementation in the prevention of metabolic syndrome and related disorders in mice.

Influence of dietary protein level on body composition and energy expenditure in calorically restricted overweight cats.

Results from this study suggest that in addition to sparing the loss of lean mass, feeding HP diets to overweight cats in restricted amounts may be beneficial for preventing or minimizing decreases of mass-adjusted energy expenditure during weight loss.

Normal protein intake is required for body weight loss and weight maintenance, and elevated protein intake for additional preservation of resting energy expenditure and fat free mass.

The effects of dietary protein content on BW loss-related variables during a 6-mo energy restriction with the use of diets containing protein at the level of requirement were determined.

Dietary protein, metabolism, and body-weight regulation: dose–response effects

During body-weight loss, as well as during weight regain, a high-protein diet preserves or increases fat-free mass and reduces fat mass and improves the metabolic profile, and in the short-term this may be supported by a positive protein and a negative fat balance.

There is convincing evidence that a higher protein intake increases thermogenesis and satiety compared to diets of lower protein content, and the weight of evidence also suggests that high protein meals lead to a reduced subsequent energy intake.

High-protein weight-loss diets: are they safe and do they work? A review of the experimental and epidemiologic data.

The effects of dietary protein on satiety, energy intake, thermogenesis, and weight loss, as well as its effect on a variety of health outcomes in adults, are summarized.

High protein intake sustains weight maintenance after body weight loss in humans

A 20% higher protein intake resulted in a 50% lower body weight regain, only consisting of fat-free mass, and related to increased satiety and decreased energy efficiency.

A high-protein diet induces sustained reductions in appetite, ad libitum caloric intake, and body weight despite compensatory changes in diurnal plasma leptin and ghrelin concentrations.

An increase in dietary protein from 15% to 30% of energy at a constant carbohydrate intake produces a sustained decrease in ad libitum caloric intake that may be mediated by increased central nervous system leptin sensitivity and results in significant weight loss.

Increasing Dietary Leucine Intake Reduces Diet-Induced Obesity and Improves Glucose and Cholesterol Metabolism in Mice via Multimechanisms

Increases in dietary leucine intake substantially decrease diet-induced obesity, hyperglycemia, and hypercholesterolemia in mice with ad libitum consumption of HFD likely via multiple mechanisms.

Effect of fat-reduced diets on 24-h energy expenditure: comparisons between animal protein, vegetable protein, and carbohydrate.

The effects of pork-meat protein, soy protein, and carbohydrate on 24-h energy expenditure were compared and differences in energy expenditure remained unchanged after adjustment for differences in 24-H energy balance.

Effect of protein source and quantity on protein metabolism in elderly women.

Meal feeding resulted in increased protein flux and protein oxidation and decreased protein breakdown compared with the postabsorptive values and there was no effect of feeding on protein synthesis; with the high-vegetable-protein diet, protein breakdown in the absorptive state was not inhibited to the same extent as during theHigh-animal- protein diet.
