Overview

  • Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic and it continues to increase at a rapid rate.
  • Numerous human studies show that protein is more satiating than fat or carbohydrate and promotes weight loss.
  • State-of-the-art research will show protein's key role in weight management, the satiety in high-protein diets, mechanism(s) of weight management with high-protein diets, and sports nutrition/lean mass preservation.
