Non-Adherence and Design Problems: Two Reasons Why Recent Diet Study May Fail to Show Benefits of High(er) Protein + Dairy Intakes in Overfat (>37%) Women

Written by | published on

Don't expect weight loss wonders from high(er) protein and dairy intakes, but especially when the energy intake is not  controlled both can  have benefits the study at hand could not detect. What's better a calorie reduced diet with the suggested amount of protein or one with a slightly higher amount of protein and extra low-fat dairy in it, when it comes to shedding the exuberant body fat off the hips, abs and buttocks of 104 overweight / obese (or with a body fat content of 37%+ "overfat")  pre menopausal women? That's probably not exactly the way the scientists from the  Utah State University , the Pennsylvania State University , the University of Illinois  and the  FB Technical Center (Shlisky. 2015) would phrase their research question, but in the end, their 24-week three-phase randomized weight loss intervention comes tried to answer exactly this question.

Yogurt does not have to be served this way to be healthy, but I bet many of your friends and relatives would be amazed and much more likely to pass on the cream cake or tiramisu if the option was an appetizing dessert like that. In a world where being vegan is "the new sexy" and eating animal products "the new smoking", dairy has lost much of its former appeal. I mean, we all remember how the literal "glass of milk" has been marketed as a daily health booster, right? Well, times have changed and that despite the fact that an impartial review of the evidence suggests more benefits than downsides to dairy consumption. Specifically fermented dairy, first and foremost yogurt, but also cheese can ,   and in the case of yogurt maybe even  should  be part of your of your diet. And that's not just because both are an often forgotten, but essential part hailed "Mediterranean diet" (Vasilopoulou. 2013). The same diet of which recent studies say tha...

Keep in mind: We are dealing with an industry sponsored study, here. One, w/ high baseline differences in insulin sensitivity between the groups. Investigations into the effects of the intestinal microbiome are popping up all over the place. Unfortunately, many of the studies are conducted in rodents. Whether or not and if to which extent the results transfer to human studies is not sure, though. Against that background, the results of a recent study from the Loughborough University are all the more intriguing. Why? Well, the study was conducted in a total of seventeen healthy subjects (fourteen males and three females) and the results of the study suggest that  probiotic supplementation may be useful in the prevention of diet-induced metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes.

Milk is one of the few foods that are advertized by celebrities that could actually be good for you (photo from the "Got Milk" campaign) I hope you are not fed up with milk and dairy, yet, because today's SuppVersity short news have a ton of it. What exactly? Well, after taking a closer look at the surprisingly high amount of HICA and the comparatively small amount of HMB in yogurt and reviewing the EAA content of six common protein sources, we are going to delve deeper into the latest evidence that shows that milk is much more than the sum of its parts, i.e. milk protein, lactose and fat and conclude on a note on another widely known Internet myth that says that people with lactose intolerance could drink raw milk without a problem.
