Weight maintenance achieved with high-protein, low-glycemic-index diet


Weight maintenance achieved with high-protein, low-glycemic-index diet

If you have attempted a diet or two, you probably notice by now it's more difficult to maintain your weight after the weight loss. I found that true when I went on the Master Cleanse. Here is an article that talks about maintaining your weight after weight loss by maintaining a high-protien, low-glycemic0-dex diet.

Quote:
A modest increase in protein intake and decrease in glycemic index led to maintained weight loss, according to data from a European study. The study enrolled 938 adults from eight European countries who had lost at least 8% of their initial body weight by adhering to an 800-kcal diet. Researchers randomly assigned 773 participants in a two-by-two factorial fashion to one of five diets: low protein and low glycemic index; low protein and high glycemic index; high protein and low glycemic index; high protein and high glycemic index or a control diet. The purpose of the diet was to maintain weight for 26 weeks.
