Proteins or carbohydrates which remains the best in shape?

New insights from Europe
Slight decrease with proteins?

Heidelberg / Berlin - For years, scientists are looking for the ideal
diet to protect against obesity. Times are the carbohydrates, fats and
proteins then again the focus of discussion. This also applies for the
purpose of avoiding weight gain after a successful diet. Because many
people can not look for a new weight to keep her diet bring permanent
and then even more pounds on the scale than before - the result is the
equally unpopular and unhealthy yo-yo effect.

As a study of the German Institute of Human Nutrition
Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE) shows proteins appear in losing weight the
best long term guarantee success. Dr. Gunda Backes, nutrition expert
at PhytoDoc explains: "A scientific study of families from eight
European countries, could significantly help to clarify the links
between macro-nutrients, satiety, energy consumption and weight gain
since the first results. The protein content in food still seems to be
more important than carbohydrates with low glycemic index. "

Conclusion: Along with adequate exercise and a total energy diet seems
well adapted to the composition of the diet effect on our body weight.
While so far the recommendations of the German Nutrition Society the
main focus eV on a high-carb diet set, preliminary study results from
a European study suggests that a high protein content can protect
against obesity or reduce a (re-) gain of weight after a successful
diet can.

Basic Knowledge / proteins
Proteins or proteins are composed of amino acids. They are used as
animal protein found mainly in meat, fish, milk and milk products.
Good sources of vegetable protein include tofu, corn, potatoes and
legumes. Proteins provide the cell not only structure, but are the
"molecular machines" that transport substances that accelerate
chemical reactions and play a role in defense against infection.

The glycemic index (GI)
The glycemic index or GI is a measure of blood sugar levels. It is
triggered by carbohydrate-containing foods. The GI indicates the
extent to which a carbohydrate-rich foods the blood sugar above normal
raises. For the blood sugar levels by glucose was set equal to 100. A
GI of 50 means that the blood sugar rise of this food, only half of
the increase in glucose makes. A high GI has a high insulin secretion
and slows down according to the fat burning. Foods with a low GI,
which does not pollute the blood sugar levels are, therefore, highly
recommended.
