Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to minimize the loss of lean body mass that occurs during a weight-loss program in obese people by changing the nature of ingested protein and the pattern of protein feeding

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • whole body leucine turnover

    6 weeks

Study Arms (4)

Casein Pulse

EXPERIMENTAL

casein is the main protein consumed, it is given during 6 weeks with a "pulse" protein feeding pattern : 8% for breakfast, 80% for lunch, 4% around 1600h, and 8% for dinner.

Dietary Supplement: Pulse casein feeding during energy restriction

Casein Spread

EXPERIMENTAL

casein is the main protein consumed, it is given during 6 weeks with a "spread" protein feeding pattern : 25% for breakfast, 25% for lunch, 25% around 1600h, and 25% for dinner.

Dietary Supplement: Spread casein feeding during energy restriction

MSP Pulse

EXPERIMENTAL

Milk soluble proteins (MSP) are the main protein consumed, it is given during 6 weeks with a "pulse" protein feeding pattern : 8% for breakfast, 80% for lunch, 4% around 1600h, and 8% for dinner.

Dietary Supplement: Pulse milk soluble protein feeding during energy restriction

Dietary Supplement: Spread milk soluble protein feeding during energy restriction

Interventions

Obese subjects are subjected to a 35% energy restriction during 6 weeks and during this period, 25% of energy is given as protein, these proteins being casein. In addition, a pulse protein feeding pattern is used (8% protein in the morning, 80% for lunch, 4% at 1600 h and 8% in the evening).

Casein Pulse

Obese subjects are subjected to a 35% energy restriction during 6 weeks and during this period, 25% of energy is given as protein, these proteins being casein. In addition, a spread protein feeding pattern is used (25% of protein at each of the four meals of the day).
