Jump straight to the studies breakdown: 14:36 In this episode of The Optimal Protein Podcast , we dive deep into two groundbreaking studies that reveal powerful insights into appetite regulation, fat loss, and muscle maintenance. You'll learn how weight loss impacts hunger hormones — and how a strategic focus on protein intake can help you stay fuller for longer, improve metabolic health, and preserve lean muscle mass. Key Topics Covered: 🔎 Study 1: "Fasting appetite-related gut hormone responses after weight loss induced by calorie restriction, exercise, or both in people with overweight or obesity: a meta‐analysis." • Why researchers explored the hormonal responses to different weight loss strategies • How calorie restriction, exercise, or a combination of both affects hunger hormones like ghrelin, PYY, GLP-1, and CCK • Why individuals who lose more fat-free mass (FFM) may experience greater hunger spikes — and how resistance training and protein can help mitigate this effect 🍳 Protein and Satiety Hormone Research • How high-protein diets increase key satiety hormones like PYY, GLP-1, and CCK • The exciting discovery of LEAP2, a hormone that suppresses ghrelin and helps reduce appetite — especially in ketogenic and high-protein diets 💪 Study 2: "Exploring Opportunities to Better Characterize the Effects of Dietary Protein on Health Across the Lifespan" • How much protein older adults require per meal to stimulate muscle protein synthesis • How to balance protein distribution across meals for superior results in muscle maintenance and appetite control • Which protein source proved particularly effective for boosting MPS, especially when paired with resistance training • Insights on how increased protein intake improves insulin sensitivity, glucose control, and enhances satiety hormones to help manage long-term appetite 🎧 Tune in now for practical insights you can apply to your nutrition and fitness strategy today! 🎧 Tune in now for powerful insights you can apply to your diet and lifestyle!
