High‐ and normal‐protein diets improve body composition and glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes: a randomized trial
Authors' conclusion
The lack of observed effects of dietary protein and red meat consumption on weight loss and improved cardiometabolic health suggests that achieved weight loss, rather than diet composition, should be the principal target of dietary interventions for T2D management.
Study context
- Population
- Adults with T2D (80 female) in a 52-week weight loss intervention
- Participants
- 106 adults
- Comparison
- High-protein diet with beef vs normal-protein diet without red meat
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Weight loss · 52 weeks
High-protein (HP)
−10.2
± 1.6 · kg
Normal-protein (NP)
−12.7
± 4.8 · kg
P = 0.336
Further findings
Body composition
- Both groups reduced fat mass and increased fat-free mass percent
Cardiometabolic parameters
- HbA1c, glucose, insulin, insulin resistance, blood pressure and TG improved, with no differences between groups
