Lose Weight-and Keep It Off-on a High-Protein Diet
Lose Weight-and Keep It Off-on a High-Protein DietEvidence shows that high-protein, low-carb diets aren't just a fad
Researchers found that women on a high-protein diet kept more weight off at the end of a year than women on a high-carb dietWeight-loss diets that push protein and restrict carbohydrates have become increasingly popular in the past decade, but do they work? This study says they can. Researchers found that women on a high-protein diet kept more weight off at the end of a year than women on a high-carb diet.High protein = high rewards
In the never-ending quest to lose extra weight, ideas about the best way to diet come and go. Low-fat diets that emphasize carbohydrates (typically starches and grains) were the standard not long ago, but more recently there has been a shift to low-carb diets that emphasize protein. A number of studies have found that carbohydrate restriction can lead to more rapid weight loss than low-fat diets, but findings from other studies suggest that this difference evens out after one to two years.
The new study followed overweight women between ages 40 and 58 for a year after they finished a three-month weight-loss program:
either a high-protein diet, with 34% of calories from protein, 46% from carbohydrate, and 20% from fat,
or a high-carb diet, with 64% of calories from carbohydrate, 17% from protein, and 20% from fat.
At the end of the year, the women who managed to keep their protein portion up had more sustained weight loss: about 14 pounds (6.5 kg), compared with about 8 pounds (3.6 kg) for those eating the high-carb diet.
It is interesting to note that markers of heart health improved in women on both diets, including total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol, glucose, insulin, C-reactive protein, and homocysteine levels. These changes were associated with weight loss, but not with the protein content of their diet, suggesting that the road to weight loss might not be as important as the weight loss itself for keeping the heart healthy.

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® Lean Muscle Meal - Cookie Dough:
Lots of protein/minimal sugar makes this pretty much what I was looking for. The taste was OK (all of these GNC products have a bit of an acquired taste, but it tastes OK considering). My only complaint is the cost is a bit high, which is why only 4 stars. If you get them on sale, I definitely recommend.

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® Lean Muscle Meal - Cookie Dough:
I applaud GNC for continuing to match, an most of the time, surpass any of the brand name products on the market. These bars are fantastic, an the price is very reasonable also, I use them for extra protein on my rest days in between my workouts, but they can also be eaten pre/post workouts also. In whatever way you choose to eat them, you will certainly enjoy them, you'll think you're a kid again, eating your favorite junk food bars, but only, these bars are healthy for you to eat, not harmful, like those said junk food bars...
