Box 616, 6200 MD Maastricht, The Netherlands (Received 28 January 2004 - Revised 7 July 2004 - Accepted 21 September 2004) Since long-term weight maintenance (WM) is a major problem, interventions to improve WM are needed. The aim of the study was toinvestigate whether the addition of protein to the diet might limit weight regain after a weight loss of 5 - 10 % in overweight subjects. In arandomised parallel study design, 113 overweight subjects (BMI 29.3 (SD 2.5) kg/m2); age 45.1 (SD 10.4) years) followed a very-low-energy diet for 4 weeks, after which there was a 6-month period of WM. During WM, subjects were randomised into either a proteingroup or a control group. The protein group received 30 g/d protein in addition to their own usual diet. During the very-low-energydiet, no differences were observed between the groups. During WM, the protein group showed a higher protein intake (18 % v. 15 %;P, 0.05), a lower weight regain (0.8 v. 3.0 kg; P, 0.05), a decreased waist circumference (2 1.2 (SD 0.7) v. 0.5 (SD 0.5 ) cm; P, 0.05)and a smaller increase in respiratory quotient (0.03 (SD 0.01) v. 0.07 0.01; (SD/)P , 0.05) compared with the control group. Weightregain in the protein group consisted of only fat-free mass, whereas the control group gained fat mass as well. Satiety in the fastedstate before breakfast increased significantly more in the protein group than in the control group. After 6 months follow-up, bodyweight showed a significant group £ time interaction. A protein intake of 18 % compared with 15 % resulted in improved WM in over-weight subjects after a weight loss of 7.5 %. This improved WM implied several factors, i.e. improved body composition, fat distribution,substrate oxidation and satiety.

The aim of this slower when the body composition of the weight regained study was to investigate whether the addition of protein consisted of a greater fat-free mass (FFM) due to physical to the diet might limit weight regain after a weight loss activity. We hypothesise that weight regain may be limited of 5 - 10 % in moderately overweight subjects.
if the inevitable increase in body weight consists of a largerFFM, for instance achieved by the consumption of anappropriate substrate. For this, we suggest an increased protein intake, because of its potential to increase FFM (Jean et al. 2001). Furthermore, it is known that, of allthe macronutrients, protein seems to be the most satiating.

Moreover, a relationship between satiety and thermogenesishas been shown (Crovetti et al. 1998; Westerterp-Plantengaet al. 1999) with using high-protein diets. We thereforesuggest that the higher post-absorptive satiety is due toincreased thermogenesis.
