Effect of a high protein diet and/or resistance exercise on the preservation of fat free mass during weight loss in overweight and obese older adults: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract: BackgroundIntentional weight loss in obese older adults is a risk factor for accelerated muscle mass loss. We investigated whether a high protein diet and/or resistance exercise preserves fat free mass (FFM) during weight loss in overweight and obese older adults.MethodsWe included 100 overweight and obese adults (55–80 year) in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a 2 × 2 factorial design and intention-to-treat analysis. During a 10-week weight loss program all subjects followed a hypocaloric diet. Subjec… Show more

“…Recent studies focused more on dietary supplements for antioxidant use in skeletal muscles 18 22 . Much concern has been taken about the effect of high-protein diets on obesity 23 25 and muscle strength enhancement 26 28 . However, little is known about the impact of dietary proteins from different sources on the oxidative status of muscles at a recommended intake.…”

“…The addition of exercise to a hypocaloric diet did not yield significantly greater weight losses than a hypocaloric diet alone . When energy intakes were equal, increasing the protein content above 0.9 g/kg/d or changing protein source did not result in any differences in weight or lean mass loss, nor did changing the glycaemic index of the carbohydrates . In studies where older and younger participants were compared in terms of weight loss efficacy on the same diet intervention, older participants lost more weight than younger participants .…”

“…To investigate a possible diet-exercise interaction, the participants were placed into 4 groups based on their self-reported exercise routines (type and frequency) during the 4-week time-restricted eating intervention (Table 3). Group 1 -non-exercisers: participants that exercised ˂3 times per week (n = 6, Participants = 2, 7, 9, 13, 17, and 19); Group 2endurance exercisers: participants that endurance trained >3 times per week (n = 2, Participants = 3 and 4), Group 3 -strength exercisers: participants that strength trained >3 times per week (n = 5, Participants = 3, 4, 5, 10, 21), and Group 4endurance-strength: participants that did similar amounts of endurance and strength training >3 times per week (n = 7, Participants = 1, 11,12,15,18,20,22). The strength-training group (Group 3) experienced a significant decrease in fat mass of 0.7 kg + 1 kg and no significant lean mass loss following the 4-week intervention ( Table 3).…”

“…In addition, strength trainers eat more protein typically in an attempt to maintain and/or build lean mass making this is another variable, although unclear, that could affect fat mass. Recent research suggests that combining protein with resistance exercise is beneficial for fat free mass preservation during weight loss [11,12]. Thus, diet and exercise routines need to be controlled in future studies.…”
