Abstract

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of two low-fat hypocaloric diets differing in the carbohydrate-to-protein ratio, with and without resistance exercise training (RT), on weight loss, body composition, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk outcomes in overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 83 men and women with type 2 diabetes (aged 56.1 +/- 7.5 years, BMI 35.4 +/- 4.6 kg/m(2)) were randomly assigned to an isocaloric, energy-restricted diet (female subjects 6 MJ/day, male subjects 7 MJ/day) of either standard carbohydrate (CON; carbohydrate:protein:fat 53:19:26) or high protein (HP; 43:33:22), with or without supervised RT (3 days/week) for 16 weeks. Body weight and composition, waist circumference (WC), and cardiometabolic risk markers were assessed. RESULTS Fifty-nine participants completed the study. There was a significant group effect (P <or= 0.04) for body weight, fat mass, and WC with the greatest reductions occurring in HP+RT (weight [CON: -8.6 +/- 4.6 kg, HP: -9.0 +/- 4.8 kg, CON+RT: -10.5 +/- 5.1 kg, HP+RT: -13.8 +/- 6.0 kg], fat mass [CON: -6.4 +/- 3.4 kg, HP: -6.7 +/- 4.0 kg, CON+RT: -7.9 +/- 3.7 kg, HP+RT: -11.1 +/- 3.7 kg], and WC [CON: -8.2 +/- 4.6 cm, HP: -8.9 +/- 3.9 cm, CON+RT: -11.3 +/- 4.6 cm, HP+RT: -13.7 +/- 4.6 cm]). There was an overall reduction (P < 0.001) in fat-free mass (-2.0 +/- 2.3 kg), blood pressure (-15/8 +/- 10/6 mmHg), glucose (-2.1 +/- 2.2 mmol/l), insulin (-4.7 +/- 5.4 mU/l), A1C (-1.25 +/- 0.94%), triglycerides (-0.47 +/- 0.81 mmol/l), total cholesterol (-0.67 +/- 0.69 mmol/l), and LDL cholesterol (-0.37 +/- 0.53 mmol/l), with no difference between groups (P >or= 0.17). CONCLUSIONS An energy-restricted HP diet combined with RT achieved greater weight loss and more favorable changes in body composition. All treatments had similar improvements in glycemic control and CVD risk markers.

Explanation / Answer

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of two low-fat hypocaloric diets differing in the carbohydrate-to-protein ratio, with and without resistance exercise training (RT), on weight loss, body composition, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk outcomes in overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes.

The conclusion of the study is that an energy-restricted high protein diet combined with resistance exercise achieved greater weight loss and more favorable changes in body composition. All treatments had similar improvements in glycemic control and CVD risk markers.

This can be useful in treatment of diabetic patients to control the glucose levels.
