Conclusion:
Collectively this study is unable to comment on the effects of hypocaloric, high-protein diets on blood lipid levels in obese adults, further exploration of the literature of these diets are therefore required. In contrast, weight loss was significantly greater in the hypocaloric, high-protein diet groups as compared to non-high-protein, hypocaloric diets. Further experimental studies however to investigate the reasons behind the greater weight loss relating to hypocaloric, high-protein diets in comparison to other hypocaloric diets are strongly recommended.
