Beef is an excellent source of nutrients; unfortunately, most nutritional recommendations suggest limiting or even avoiding it. Studies have shown that the fatty acid composition of meat influences weight loss. This randomized controlled clinical trial evaluated the anthropometric and serum lipid changes after a food intervention that included frequent beef consumption (120 g consumed four days/week for four weeks). Volunteers were randomly assigned to the commercial or Wagyu-Cross beef groups, with the latter beef possessing higher fat and MUFA contents. Both groups exhibited reductions in body measurements and lipid profiles; however, the Wagyu-Cross group exhibited greater changes in weight (-3.75 vs. -2.90 kg) and BMI (-1.49 vs. -1.03) than the commercial group, without a significant difference between them. No significant group differences in lipid profiles were observed; however, the Wagyu-Cross group exhibited a more favorable change in decreasing the TC concentration (-7.00 mg/dL) and LDL-C concentration (-12.5 mg/dL). We suggest that high MUFA beef could be included in weight-loss programs since it does not affect weight loss and hasn't a negative influence on lipid metabolism.
牛肉是一种极好的营养来源;不幸的是,大多数营养建议都建议限制甚至避免食用牛肉。研究表明,肉类的脂肪酸组成会影响减肥效果。这项随机对照临床试验评估了包括频繁食用牛肉(每周 4 天摄入 120 克,持续 4 周)在内的饮食干预后人体测量和血清脂质的变化。志愿者被随机分配到商业牛肉组或和牛杂交牛肉组,后者的牛肉含有更高的脂肪和 MUFA 含量。两组的身体测量和血脂谱都有所降低;然而,与商业牛肉组相比,和牛杂交牛肉组的体重(-3.75 与-2.90 公斤)和 BMI(-1.49 与-1.03)变化更大,两组之间没有显著差异。两组的血脂谱没有显著差异;然而,和牛杂交牛肉组在降低 TC 浓度(-7.00mg/dL)和 LDL-C 浓度(-12.5mg/dL)方面的变化更为有利。我们建议,高 MUFA 牛肉可以纳入减肥计划,因为它不会影响减肥效果,也不会对脂质代谢产生负面影响。
