URBANA, Ill. - A high-protein diet can make regular exercise more
effective for women trying to lose weight - helping to build muscle
while trimming body fat, a small study suggests.
In a four-month period, the protein-rich diet along with exercise
significantly reduced abdominal fat and triglycerides, risk factors
for heart disease, according to findings published in the August
issue of the Journal of Nutrition.
"People thinking about doing exercise want a return on that
investment," said Donald K. Layman, a professor at the University of
Illinois' Urbana-Champaign campus, who led the study. "Our way of
looking at it is the protein-rich diet basically boosts the benefit
of doing exercise."
