5 Reasons Whey Protein Helps With Weight Loss

Posted by onthegofitness Nutrition

If you’re trying to lose weight whey protein is a must. It contains all the essential amino acids for our bodies. An amino acid is the building blocks of protein that build and repair the tissue in our bodies. Whey is packed with amino acids and is easy to digest. Here are some reasons why you should be adding whey into your diet.

It’s convenient

Many of us are in a rush all day long so making meals can be a challenge. Protein shakes are a great way to get around this problem. Protein shakes are easy to make so that you can have a great meal for the road without having fast food. All you need is a blender, berries, fruit or veggies and you’re good to go.

It Builds lean mass

When doing a weight lifting program, you don’t build mass in the gym but outside of the gym with a diet packed with high quality protein. Building muscle not only makes you stronger but to boosts your metabolism.

When you are on a weight loss program you want to make sure that you’re losing the right kind of weight. Losing fat is great but sometimes we lose muscle too. Using whey protein helps to prevents this because not only does it help build muscle it helps maintain it. Having a high protein diet is a must during a weight loss program because your body will eat valuable muscle that helps boost metabolism.

It keeps you full

Protein has been shown to keep people full longer leaving them satisfied. When we’re hungry we crave foods that aren’t very good for us. When we feel full then we tend to make healthier choices avoiding snacks at work or eating junk food late at night. Whey protein takes the body awhile to digest and releases peptides in the gut that make us feel full. Protein takes longer to digest than fats and this keeps the food moving slower throughout the gut this will keep us fuller longer reducing our daily intake of calories.

Here’s our tips for getting more protein in your diet.

It balances blood sugar

Having a meal high in protein helps keep our blood sugar in check. Instead of having ups and downs from the sugar the protein shake will keep the levels even. When we have meals high in sugar we tend to get a rush of energy then we crash soon after looking for more sugar. When we have, a protein shake instead we will feel full longer with sustained energy throughout the day. Ups and downs in blood sugar leaves us feeling hungry reaching for whatever is around us. It’s hard to stay on a diet when we are starving all the time. Keep your head in the game and outsmart your gut.

It’s low calorie

With so much bang for the buck whey protein must be packed with calories, right? Nope it’s very low in calories about 120 per serving. Whey protein is a great low calorie option that leaves you feeling full for a long time. It is packed with a lot of nutrients and is cost effective. Low calorie meals are hard to come by so make sure to add some whey to your diet.

The take away

Whey protein is great for weight loss. It leaves us feeling full hours after we drink it. It is packed with everything our bodies need to build and repair tissue in the body. It’s easy to make and low in calories. You can mix it with different things to make it more interesting.
