Unraveling the Link Between Protein Diets, Training Plateaus, and Health Risks

A study on mice has found that resistance strength training can counteract the negative metabolic effects of a high-protein diet. Sedentary mice on a high-protein diet accumulated more fat, but those subjected to resistance training showed muscle growth and less fat accumulation. However, blood sugar control was still adversely affected by the high protein intake. The research highlights the importance of resistance training for individuals on high-protein diets, especially those with a sedentary lifestyle.
