WHAT IS WHEY PROTEIN?
Whey protein is the milk protein that is the liquid by-product of cheese production. In supplement form, whey protein comes in three common forms:
- Whey Protein Concentrate: This contains some fat and lactose and between 31% - 89% protein depending on the specific product. Whey protein concentrates often have more bioactive compounds.
- Whey Protein Isolates: Contains minimal fat, cholesterol and lactose and 90% or more protein.
- Whey Protein Hydrolysate: Are often used in clinical nutrition applications because they are predigested and partially broken and therefore easier to absorb.
A key ingredient of a healthy diet and lifestyle is protein, and it is, without a doubt, one of the cornerstones of the health and wellness industry.Getting enough can boost your metabolism, reduce your appetite and help you lose body fat without losing muscle. Protein shakes are an easy way to add more protein to your diet, and have been shown to help with weight loss.
Whey protein makes a good choice that's easily absorbed and rich in all the essential amino acids. They may make a healthy addition to a weight-loss plan, but whey protein shakes alone won't magically melt away those unwanted pounds. To benefit from a diet that includes protein shakes, control your overall calorie intake and add resistance training to your plan. Before you start downing whey protein shakes, consult your doctor or a dietitian for weight-loss tips and shake suggestions.
For those participating in resistance exercise this figure should lean towards the higher end to ensure positive nitrogen balance and to sustain an anabolic environment. Extra protein should also be ingested pre- and post- workout for maximum muscular gains. Not meeting these protein requirements can severely hinder your ability to gain muscle mass and to repair damage to the muscles from exercise. Aside from proteins effects on muscles, it may have additional benefits in terms of aiding weight loss.
High protein meals are often more satisfying, making you feel fuller for longer and preventing binges throughout the day. Protein unlike carbohydrates does not create fluctuations in blood glucose which is one key drive for hunger response. Those consuming increased protein often have favourable fat mass/fat free mass ratios. That is, people who have higher protein diets have more muscle and less fat.
