Whey protein is not only superior to soy for trimming down, but may help maintain or even promote weight loss regardless of intake of calories.
Protein has long been associated with increased satiety, thereby improving weight loss and promoting adherence to difficult, otherwise hunger-inducing diets. While protein may keep you fuller longer, a new study in the July issue of The Journal of Nutrition, showed that whey protein is more effective than soy protein when it comes to weight loss.
As found in this study, macronutrient (protein, carbohydrate or fat) choices can make an impact on body composition. Not only is protein thought to be satiating and thermogenic, whey protein consumption without calorie restriction had a favorable impact on body weight. The researchers emphasize that in the WP supplementation group “the difference in body weight was associated with a decrease in fat without an effect on lean mass.”
The authors write that protein is key to short-term weight loss because it reduces the urge to overeat and that the impact of whey protein on body weight without calorie restriction or the intention to lose weight is novel.
“Protein supplementation, particularly WP, in overweight and obese individuals may assist in long-term maintenance of body weight without energy restriction,” the researchers suggest.
