Effects of high carbohydrate and high protein diets on markers of metabolic syndrome (MS) in women participating in the Curves fitness program Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • 223 sedentary women (4910 yrs, 1637 cm; 9517 kg; 454% body fat) with at least 3 NCEPATP III criteria for MS were assigned to a normal diet (ND) group or a high carbohydrate (HC) or high protein (HP) diet group while participating in the Curves circuittraining fitness program 3d/wk. Diets were 1,200 kcal/d for 1wk and 1,600 kcal/d for 9wks and contained 30% fat with either 55% CHO in the HC group and 5063% P in the HP group. Data were analyzed by MANOVA with repeated measures and are presented as means SD changes from baseline. Subjects dieting lost more body mass (ND 0.52.2; HC 3.83.5; HP 4.33.7 %, p=0.001) and DXA fat mass (ND 3.24.1; HC 7.06.6; HP 6.96.3 %, p=0.001). TG decreased to a greater degree in the HP group (ND 6.038; HC 4.630; HP 12.829 %, p=0.005). Although significant time effects were observed, no differences were seen among groups in changes in waist circumference (ND 0.84.4; HC 2.19.1; HP 3.07.8 %, p=0.32), glucose (ND 2.615; HC 3.215; HP 2.914 %, p=0.98), total CHL (ND 4.419; HC 4.921; HP 5.817 %, p=0.91), HDL (ND 0.218; HC 3.418; HP 0.219 %, p=0.43), SBP (ND 2.014; HC 4.312; HP 4.313 %, p=0.57), or DBP (ND 2.313; HC 4.913; HP 3.314 %, p=0.52). Results indicate that exercise and dieting can positively affect clinical markers of MS in individuals with MS and that adherence to a HP diet may promote more favorable changes in TG levels.
