Protein-Sugar Interactions: Will a Coke/DietCoke Turn Your Lean Steak into a Cheeseburger - Metabolically Speaking?

Written by | published on

Does a Coke (diet or regular) really ruin the metabolic benefits of high protein meals? Decrease fat oxidation? Increase fat storage? Boost your appetite? In her recently published blog about the study, Dr. Shanon Casperson writes acknowledges the "beneficial effects of protein-rich diets", its beneficial effect on satiety, its ability to decrease both prospective and real-world food intake, and its beneficial effects on human metabolism. With all the things we know about protein, it is yet quite interesting that we don't know "what happens when we drink a sugar-sweetened beverage with our steak dinner?" (see BMC blog ). The former is the research-question of a recently published study in the OpenAccess Journal  BMC Nutrition  that was conducted by - you guessed it - Casperson et al. (2017).

This is not the first study to suggest that as little as 12.5% of the suggested upper limit for phosphorus can make a big difference when it comes to weight loss and the ease of weight loss when you battle reduced diet-induced thermogenesis & increased appetite. I guess those of you who have been reading every SuppVersity  article will remember my January article "Phosphorus, an Anti-Obesity Agent? 3x375 mg With Each Meal Strip Almost 4 cm Off Obese Waists in Only 12 Weeks" ( re-read it ). You liked that one? Well, I guess you will also like the fact that the evidence that there's some use in phosphorus supplements is accumulating. Recently, scientists from the  Lebanese American University  in Beirut, Lebanon (Bassil. 2016), have observed that "P supplementation recovers the blunted diet-induced thermogenesis in overweight and obese subjects and enhances their postprandial satiety" (Bassil. 2016). Phosphates have also been touted as buffer for athl...

A dream has come true: You can burn more calories by eating more... unfortunately, the so-called "diet-induced thermogenesis" does not fully compensate the increased energy intake - you cannot eat yourself slim as "unfair" as some people think this was. You all will have read that: eating a high protein meal first thing in the AM kickstarts your metabolic engine. But do you also know that this "kick" is worth - in terms of calories, for example? Do you know how the mix of carbohydrates, fats and proteins will affect your diet-induced thermogenesis? Can you tell if calories matter and whether the meal size and speed at which you consume a given meal will matter? Well, today's SuppVersity  article will not be able to answer all of these questions in a "once and for all" fashion, but being based on the latest systematic review by Quatela et al. (2016), it will still give you a good overview of the individual effects of differing energy int...
