More research from Dr. Noakes (read the DD interview with Dr. Noakes here) from Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Australia. The researchers tracked 79 healthy women with an average age of 49 and a body mass index of about 33 (basically obese). After one year, the researchers found that weight loss was greater in the study participants who reported consuming a higher-protein diet, both in grams and as a percentage of energy.
