Effects of Dietary Protein Intake From Beef/Pork and Soy/Legumes on Appetite, Mood, and Weight Loss

March 19, 2014 updated by: Wayne Campbell, Purdue University
The primary aims of this study are to assess the effects of habitual dietary protein intakes across the acceptable macronutrient distribution range with lean beef/pork or soy/legumes as the predominate sources of protein on indices of daily appetite and mood, and on postprandial appetite, mood, energy expenditure, and glycemic responses during energy-restricted weight loss in overweight adults.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Arm 1: Beef/Pork
Participants consuming diet with beef/pork as predominate sources of protein
Participants consuming diet containing 10, 20 or 30% dietary protein with beef/pork as the predominate sources of protein
Experimental: Arm 2: Soy/Legumes
Participants consuming diet with soy/legumes as predominate sources of protein
Participants consuming diet containing 10, 20, or 30% dietary protein with soy/legumes as the predominate sources of protein.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Increasing protein intake from lean beef/pork or soy/legumes sources will result in progressively decreased daily composite hunger and desire to eat, and increased fullness. The responses will not be different between groups of subjects.
Time Frame: 14 weeks
14 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Increasing the protein content of a test will result in progressively more robust and sustained changes in postprandial appetite and energy expenditure and blunted glycemic response. The responses will not be different between the groups of participants.
Time Frame: 14 weeks
14 weeks
