Whey Protein Intake With and Without Exercise on Visceral Fat: The P+RISE Study

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Obesity, Overweight

In brief

Dietary manipulation is proving to be an effective lifestyle strategy to combat the obesity epidemic. Increased dietary protein is one effective strategy. For example, increased whey protein ingestion with and without exercise training is associated with enhanced weight loss, body composition and subjective hunger in overweight and obese individuals. Our findings suggest that the effects of whey protein ingestion occur independent of a calorie-restricted diet and to a greater extent in individuals following a combined exercise program of resistance exercise, sprint intervals, stretching/yoga/pilates, and aerobic exercise training compared to standard resistance training.
