Total Protein, not its Whey-to-Casein Ratio Determines the Satiety Effects of a Standardized Chocolate-Vanilla Shake

Written by | published on

No, that's not a photo from the study. This is not the first SuppVersity article to discuss the  satiating effect of dietary protein, but it's the only one addressing the notion that a lower whey-to-casein ratio in a high-protein milk beverage would go hand in hand with an increased satiety effect. Why should it? Well, as Amelinda et al. (2016) point out, "whey and casein protein have different digestion rates" it is thus only logical to assume that combining them may result in a prolonged satiating effect. High-protein diets are much safer than pseudo-experts say, but there are things to consider... Practical Protein Oxidation 101 5x More Than the FDA Allows! More Protein ≠ More Satiety Protein Oxidation = Health Threat Protein Timing DOES Matter! More Protein = More Liver Fat? To test this hypothesis, the Indonesian researchers conducted a randomized, single-blind, cross-over study with 12 healthy, normal-weight men who received a stan...

Histidine As a Fat Loss Adjuvant? 6% Fat Loss Without Dietary or Exercise Intervention & More Than Half a Dozen Other Reasons Not To Ignore This Essential Amino Acid

Histidine as a fat loss adjuvant? Laughable? Not for the obese! For lean folks like her? We'll see... If I had to guesstimate the number of fitness enthusiasts who have ever heard of histidine at all, I would say that 50% probably don't even know what it is, while the majority of the lightened ones will re-iterate what the supplement business has been preaching them "You get more than enough histidine, anyway. So don't worry our superior beta-alanine supplement will work even if you don't take additional histidine." Short term studies confirm this notion. It looks as if we usually have more than enough histidine to have it recombine with beta alanine and form carnosine, but long-term studies are missing and let's be honest: How likely is it that an essential amino acid is nothing but a servant to a non-essential amino acid from the 2nd row? Early results: Histidine modulates feed efficiency Actually we could have known that histidine could have ...

Hungry? Better Eat Whey than Soy! Rats Receiving Soy Supplement Consume More Calories.

Written by | published on
Lately, whey protein is all the rage. Rightly, as it seems! A recent study on the effect of protein supplementation on appetite and calorie consumption in rats showed that whey is way superior to soy protein in inducing satiety and reducing caloric intake. For 10 weeks rats were fed a standard diet (control), or a high protein diet, with either 24% whey or isoflavone-free soy protein added to the chow. Both dietary interventions, i.e. the increase in protein intake, led to significantly reduced body weight and body fat gains, but ... [...] cumulative food intake measured over the 10-week study period was lower in the HP-W vs. control and HP-S groups (P < 0.01).[...] Plasma concentrations of total GLP-1 [glucagon-like peptide 1] were higher in HP-W and HP-S vs. control group (P < 0.05), whereas plasma CCK, PYY, and leptin did not differ among the three groups. In how far the reduced caloric intake is retractable to the GLP-1 (exclusively?) is questionable. What is certa...
