Details

  • This Los Angeles Times story about the importance of protein in a low-carb lifestyle exposes a dirty little secret that those of who are livin' la vida low-carb already knew.
  • When you eat a controlled-carb diet, it goes without saying that you will be eating a lot more fat and protein than you would on a low-fat/low-calorie diet, which is generally higher in carbohydrates.
  • This article notes a new study that shows the reason why low-carb dieters are more satisfied for longer periods after eating is because of the extra protein they eat.
  • The study conducted by researchers at the University of Washington found that consuming higher quantities of protein (30-40% of calories) resulted in them eating less calories and losing more weight than a diet consisting of less protein (15-20% of calories).
  • GREAT NEWS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVIN' LA VIDA LOW-CARB!!!
  • While eating a low-carb lifestyle does not automatically mean you will be eating more protein, you certainly have plenty of high-protein options available to you when you cut out the carbs.
  • I'm content to know that it just does.
  • In fact, the study participants were forced to eat all of the food they were given in the study and many of them complained that they felt like they were eating too much on their high-protein diet.
  • If you are hungry on low-carb, then you must not be doing something right.
  • The exact opposite happens when you are eating low-carb foods.
  • This week while I have been on vacation in Tennessee with my dad, it has been challenging being able to eat often enough to not get hungry.
  • I just gritted my teeth and asked if I could eat something low-carb.
  • The article warns people that consuming too much protein can be bad for your kidneys if you already have kidney problems.
