Canadian researchers from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, found that those consuming higher-protein, high-dairy diets experienced more abdominal fat loss and the greatest amount of whole-body fat.
The women then took part in aerobic exercise 5 times a week and circuit weightlifting 2 days a week over a 4 months period.
The lead author of the study, Andrea Josse, from the Department of Kinesiology at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, said:
“100 per cent of the weight loss in the higher-protein, high-dairy group was fat.
“And the participants gained muscle mass, which is a major change in body composition.
“The preservation or even gain of muscle is very important for maintaining metabolic rate and preventing weight regain, which can be a major problem for many seeking to lose weight.”
The Canadian study will be published in the Journal of Nutrition in September.
