What Kind of Protein Is Best for Losing Weight?

May 26, 2011 by Isagenix Nutritional Sciences

When it comes to stimulating thermogenesis and satisfying appetite, it’s well known that dietary protein is king over carbohydrates and fats. Now, a new study confirms that and goes even further to show that what protein source you choose matters, too!

According to new research from the Nestle Research Center in Switzerland, whey protein consumed at breakfast, lunch, and dinner proved most successful than either casein or soy proteins for boosting fat burning and simultaneously reducing muscle loss.

“The present findings confirm that protein-rich test meals have a greater thermic effect than that of carbohydrate and extend these results by showing that whey protein elicits a greater thermic response than does protein composed of either casein or soy,” the scientists report in the March issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

The scientists conducted a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study, measuring the thermic effect of meals high in whey, casein, or soy proteins, with a high carbohydrate meal as a control. They found that the total energy expenditure over 5.5 hours was greater after consuming the whey protein meal versus the other proteins and all were significantly higher than the high-carbohydrate meal (see Figure).
