No.

But, running and walking the same distance, your body burns more
fat walking, but you this is because you spend more time walking
a given distance than if you run the same distance.

This said, my own and others personal experience shows that
running is more effective anyway, maybe due to the "after burn"
(by that I mean thaT you continue to burn more fat than usual
a while after physical activity).

Ok. Thanks. A friend of mine wants to lose the little bit of fat she has on her hips before she goes on holiday in the summer. Was wondering the quickest way possible :)

Running the same distance requires more energy (mainly sugars), which will make you more hungry.
The quickest way to loose weight?
Starvation.
Its also the worst way, as your body will hit back.

My Uncle is trying to lose weight quick on a high-protein diet. He's even taking whey, and intense workouts. I tried to explain to him and my aunt that's it's a starvation workout and the protein will make him even more hungry. They just give the whole "these are professionals creating this high-protein diet". Ach, it should be law for everyone to understand some basic classical concepts on argument.

Would it be good to at least suggest for him to eat sugar when he does his workouts? Wouldn't working out with sufficient sugar actually burn fat more quickly without starvation?

No, because "these are professionals creating this high-protein diet".
And they will probably say that "working out burns body fat".

Yes, fat is most efficiently burned in the presence of sufficient sugars.
But if he eats enough protein, its not starvation,
because then the protein will be converted in mainly sugars, and some fats.
Only when you combine a high protein diet with calorie restriction,
then he will get moody, tired and have little energy for work outs.

So is this actually a 'good' way to loose weight? What about all the affects of dirty protein, won't that make him hungrier?

The diet does involve calorie restriction to an extent; but there is tons of protein, so I guess not in that regard. Won't all this protein over-fill his liver glycogen? And I thought that high-protein meals caused large insulin responses.

What is "this"?

Yes, beta-carbolines stimulate appetite.

Which big high protein meals?

This quote is from a post you made in a different thread, but i think you wanted to post it here, right?
Let me try to clarify.
You can lose weight on ANY diet, as long as the amount of energy ingested is smaller than the energy used.
So, it doesnt matter whether its a diet of hamburgers or a diet of carrots , lettuce and soy beans.
What matters is input versus output.
A 'good' diet to lose weight for you is what is doable for you in the long run.
(not in the sense of what is healthy)
In the end it all comes down to proper energy managment.
You can lose weight on a high protein diet if your meals are no too big,
or if you are very good in not snacking too much in between.
In fact, you could even lose weight when you consume just one huge bad meal a day, and nothing else for the rest of the diet.
It will not be pleasant, but its possible.

In my point of view, a good diet to lose weight is something that you could do for ever.
For most people, this Wai diet would not be a good way, as its too harsh for most people.
Won't all this protein over-fill his liver glycogen?
A lot of protein will, indeed. But so will a lot of carbs.
So that it totally depends on how much is consumed in one meal (regarding over-filling)
and how much is consumed in between (if the liver glycogen is utilized in between)
So, in the end its again about input versus output.
And I thought that high-protein meals caused large insulin responses.
If the meal is big, yes. If its a small high protein meal, no.
So, it really depends on the size of the meal.
However, its easier to eat a big high protein meal than
a big high single carbs meal, because glucose most strongly causes satiety.

Ah, Thanks RRM, that all makes sense now. I guess I'll just leave my Uncle alone.
