Los Angeles, 6 October 2008 - Obesity often goes hand in hand and are related to Metabolic Syndrome - a group with five factors consisting of high blood pressure, large waist circumference, blood sugar, increased triglycerides and reduced HDL cholesterol levels.
Losing weight is one of the first steps to protect or treat the syndrome, and researchers from the University of Ulm, Germany, found that increased intake of protein in the diet will reduce risk factors for metabolic syndrome when compared with the level of protein intake of this standar.Penelitian presented this weekend at the annual meeting of the Obesity Society in Phoenix, involving 110 overweight subjects with metabolic syndrome who were randomly divided into two groups and run for one tahun.Selama first three months of weight loss phase, they joined in high protein group were instructed to follow a diet with a protein content of twice the normal diet, they also replaced two meals a day with Herbalife's European Formula 1, Shake substitute other makanan.Kelompok instructed to consume a standard amount of protein / normal with normal eating pattern, not Shake to consume in lieu makanan.Selama next 9 months - phase management / maintain weight - all participants consumed a meal replacement shake every day as part of the diet and their diet, and both groups maintain appropriate levels of protein intake by eating them profess for three months sebelumnya.Semua participants lost weight after one year, but they are incorporated in the high protein group decreased more (nearly 12.5 pounds, while the standard protein intake is only about 7 kilograms) with the loss of body fat also higher in addition to maintaining lean body mass. Even more significant was the discovery at the end of the study that 64% of those in the high protein group no longer enter into the criteria for metabolic syndrome, compared with only 41% of a group consisting of a standard protein intake.
"We know that the decline or losing weight will reduce the risk factors for metabolic syndrome," said Marion Flechtner-Mors, Ph.D., one of the perpetrators of this study and chair of the Obesity Research Group at the University of Ulm, Germany, "but we found that more many objects / study participants showed enhanced resistance to these risk factors when the intake of protein in their diet improved. "
Nearly 47 million Americans suffer from metabolic syndrome, and the numbers continue to grow - in parallel with the increasing cases of Obesitas.Flechtner - Moss added, "Interventions effective interventions such as consumption of high protein meal replacements for weight loss can reduce risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome and affect the lives of millions.
