A High Protein Diet Has No Harmful Effects: A One-Year Crossover Study in Resistance-Trained Males.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of a high protein diet over a one-year period. Fourteen healthy resistance-trained men completed the study (mean ± SD; age 26.3 ± 3.

The effects of a high protein diet on indices of health and body composition--a crossover trial in resistance-trained men.

Background: Eight weeks of a high protein diet (>3 g/kg/day) coupled with a periodized heavy resistance training program has been shown to positively affect body composition with no deleterious effects on health. Using a randomized, crossover design, resistance-trained male subjects underwent a 16-week intervention (i.e.
