Effects of a high-protein, low-glycemic-index diet on body weight and waist circumference in late postmenopausal women: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To describe the secondary outcomes (weight loss, waist circumference [WC], and glycolipid profile) of a previous randomized controlled trial designed to investigate the impact of a high-protein, low-glycemic-index (GI) diet on lean body mass in late postmenopausal women.

Subjects And Methods: A total of 26 healthy women aged ≥ 65 years and with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 26.1 ± 3.

Effects of high protein, low-glycemic index diet on lean body mass, strength, and physical performance in late postmenopausal women: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To investigate whether increasing protein consumption to twice the recommended daily allowance (RDA) by The Institute of Medicine affects lean body mass (LBM), muscle strength, and physical performance in late postmenopausal women.

Methods: Parallel-group randomized trial with 26 apparently healthy women aged ≥ 65 years. Participants were randomly assigned to low-glycemic index diets with protein consumption at current RDA (0.
