Diet Alone Unlikely To Lead To Significant Weight Loss
Monday, 19 April 2010 09:16
Newly-published research by scientists at Oregon Health & Science University demonstrates that simply reducing caloric intake is not enough to promote significant weight loss.
This appears to be due to a natural compensatory mechanism that reduces a person's physical activity in response to a reduction in calories. The research is published in the April edition of the American Journal of Physiology – Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology.
A new study published in the February issue of Nutrition Research demonstrates that eating protein rich eggs at breakfast can decrease calorie consumption at lunch and throughout the rest of the day.1
