In the 19th century, researchers found out that the differences in the energy content of macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate and fat) can elicit different responses in the amount of calories individuals burn per day. It was demonstrated that protein has a metabolic advantage when compared to the other macronutrients (carbohydrate and fat). Since these findings, researchers all over the world started to study how diets differing in macronutrient distribution could result in different responses to energy metabolism. Diets with high amounts of protein (i.e. meats, eggs, dairy products, and grains) are becoming more popular, and studies have shown that when people eat high quantities of protein they lose weight and fat mass, maintain the weight loss, and burn more calories per day.
The investigators hypothesize that giving high amounts of protein to healthy women will increase the amount of calories and fat they burn per day, increase their satiety, and improve health markers when compared to a normal diet. The increased protein level will be achieved using a nutrition supplement consisted of soy protein, yogurt and honey.
To test this, the investigators plan to divide the participants in two groups: one will eat a normal diet and the other a diet with high amounts of protein during one and a half day. After one month they will change groups and eat the other diet for the same period of time. During this period consuming the diets (1.5 days), participants will stay inside a whole body calorimetry suite, which is similar to a hotel bedroom and is able to inform in the most precise way the amount of calories participants will burn and if they are burning more fat. Additionally, before and after each meal participants will have to answer a questionnaire about their appetite sensations and blood will also be collected to analyze health markers.
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of a high protein diet (achieved through the use of a high protein supplement) versus standard diet on substrate oxidation and energy expenditure using a state-of-the-art live-in whole body calorimetry unit (WBCU).
This study will be an acute randomized, controlled, cross-over trial. Healthy women (n=24) will receive a run-in diet for three days and will then be randomly allocated into one of the following groups: 1) Control group receiving an eucaloric standard diet (55% of carbohydrate, 15% of protein, and 30% of lipid); 2) High-protein group: eucaloric high protein diet (35% of carbohydrate, 40% of protein, and 25% of fat) constructed around a soy protein-based meal replacement. The wash-out period will be of approximately one month. While receiving the diets in the WBCU for 32 hours, participants' overall change in energy metabolism including respiratory quotient will be assessed. Additional assessments include metabolic blood markers (glucose, insulin, lipid panel, peptide tyrosine-tyrosine, ghrelin, leptin, free glycerol, and free fatty acids), and appetite sensations (hunger and satiety). Body composition and energy requirements will be assessed at baseline using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and indirect calorimetry, respectively.
It is expected that the high-protein diet will increase lipid oxidation, and energy expenditure, with other favorable changes in the additional markers when compared to the control group.

| Changes in appetite sensations assessed by a 100 mm visual analogue scale questionnaire. | Changes in hunger, satiety, fullness, and prospective food consumption will be rated by participants on a 100 mm visual analogue scale immediately before and 30 minutes after each meal and snack provided while participants spend 32 hours inside the whole body calorimetry unit while receiving a high-protein diet or a control diet. The 100 mm visual analogue scale is administered using the paper-and-pen method and participants are instructed to make a single vertical mark at the appropriate point between the two anchors on each scale to indicate the intensity of their subjective states regarding each element (between 0 and 100 mm): Hunger: 0 mm = "I am not hungry at all"; 100 mm = "I have never been more hungry". Satiety: 0 mm = "I am completely empty"; 100 mm = "I cannot eat another bite". Fullness: 0 mm = "Not at all full"; 100 mm = "Totally full". Prospective food consumption: 0 mm = "Nothing at all"; 100 mm = "A lot". |
