Background High-protein diets have been shown to increase energy expenditure (EE).
Objective The objective was to study whether a high-protein, carbohydrate-free diet (H diet)
increases gluconeogenesis and whether this can explain the increase in EE. Design Ten
healthy men with a mean (±SEM) body mass index (in kg/m 2) of 23.0±0.8 and age of 23±1 y
received an isoenergetic H diet (H condition; 30%, 0%, and 70% of energy from protein,
carbohydrate, and fat, respectively) or a normal-protein diet (N condition; 12%, 55%, and …
