protein shakes provide essential nutrients to your body.<\/span><\/p>\n when you consume sufficient amounts of protein, metabolism improves and you’ll feel fuller, longer.<\/span><\/p>\n one way you can easily add extra protein to your diet is by drinking protein shakes; a proven means to promote weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n in its most basic form, a protein shake is simply protein powder mixed with water, but you can also add other ingredients.<\/span><\/p>\n one great thing about protein shakes is that they are easy to make and convenient to add to your diet, which is especially important if you don’t have regular access to other high-protein foods that are of high quality.<\/span><\/p>\n while you may not need protein shakes to reach your body’s daily protein requirements, they can be helpful for individuals who have a reason for increasing the amount of protein they consume, such as a medical condition.<\/span><\/p>\n there are both powdered protein options and ready-made liquid protein shakes on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n protein powder comes in several varieties. here are the most popular:<\/span><\/p>\n depending on the brand of protein powder you buy, you may find a blend of different types of protein; manufacturers sometimes do this because the proteins contain amino acids that complement one another.<\/span><\/p>\n takeaway: protein shakes can be purchased ready-made or mixed at home using protein powders. there are several different protein powders available so that you can choose the one that is best for you.<\/span><\/p>\n too little protein and you feel hungry between meals. too much and the extra protein is transformed into carbs and stored for later use as fat. know just how much protein you’re eating with a weight-loss app like noom<\/strong><\/a><\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n at most, your body can only use 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, as per<\/span> webmd;<\/span><\/a> so it isn’t necessary to add an enormous amount of protein to your diet. adding one protein shake per day is probably a good start.<\/span><\/p>\n some experts recommend replacing breakfast with a protein shake to reduce calorie intake and boost your metabolism, states<\/span> doctoroz.com<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n there are all kinds of different recipes for protein shakes. people often add ice and fruit to make a refreshing, delicious drink.<\/span><\/p>\n drinking protein shakes made with whey may cause some uncomfortable gastrointestinal side effects if you are lactose intolerant. however, if that’s the case, switching to a plant-based protein should alleviate the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n research has never proven that high protein diets are of any risk to the kidneys of healthy people. but, in those who have kidney problems, a low protein diet can be better (see the study in<\/span> nutrition & metabolism<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n protein is necessary for good bone health. studies in <\/span>the american journal of clinical nutrition<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> the journal of the american college of nutrition<\/span><\/a> have shown that, contrary to the old belief, high-protein diets result in fewer fractures and greater bone mass.<\/span><\/p>\n one study showed that doubling your protein intake leads to a loss of fat.<\/span><\/p>\n the study divided people into three groups: one group tripled their protein, one doubled their protein, and one ate the recommended dietary allowance (rda) of protein.<\/span><\/p>\n the results of the study showed that the group that doubled their protein lost the most fat while the group that ate the recommended amount of protein lost the least,<\/span> women’s health<\/span><\/a> reports.<\/span><\/p>\n according to<\/span> harvard health<\/span><\/a>, you can determine your rda of protein by multiplying your body weight in pounds by 0.36. the resulting number is the rda of protein in grams.<\/span><\/p>\n takeaway: adding one protein shake per day to your diet can help you lose fat without harming your kidneys or bones. if you’re lactose intolerant, be sure to choose a plant-based protein to avoid gastrointestinal problems.<\/span><\/p>\n do you want to know the nutritional value of the plant-based protein shake you’re consuming? or maybe you want to know what vitamins whey protein offers. either way, the noom<\/strong><\/a><\/a>\u00a0app can help you find out everything you want to know about the foods, and protein shakes, you eat.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n increasing your protein consumption may rev up your metabolism, which can help you burn some extra calories daily, stated<\/span> doctoroz.com<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> the american journal of clinical nutrition<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n according to<\/span> webmd<\/span><\/a>, your body has to burn more calories so it can digest protein than it does to digest carbs or fat, which can lead to weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n this temporary increase in metabolism is called the thermic effect of food, or tef. the tef for protein is higher than that of fat or carbs (see studies in<\/span> nutrition & metabolism<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> the american journal of clinical nutrition<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n eating more protein can help you to build muscle, especially if you participate in strength training, suggests research in the<\/span> international journal of sports nutrition and exercise metabolism<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n when you add muscle mass to your body, your body burns more calories even when you’re resting because muscle burns more calories than fat, says<\/span> webmd<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n one study in <\/span>clinical nutrition<\/span><\/a> involving obese participants showed that those who consumed protein shakes with 200 grams of extra protein per week gained 2.8 more pounds of muscle mass than those who drank shakes with no added protein.<\/span><\/p>\n takeaway: adding protein shakes to your diet can help your body to burn more calories for two reasons: 1) protein takes more calories to digest; 2) protein helps build muscle and muscle burn more calories than fat.<\/span><\/p>\n diets high in protein have been shown to promote fat loss, especially belly fat (see the study in<\/span> the american journal of clinical nutrition<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n one study divided 40 men into two groups. both consumed low-calorie diets, but one group received more protein than the other.<\/span><\/p>\n the results of the study showed that the higher protein group lost more fat, with an overall weight loss of 10.5 pounds, which was about 2.5 more than the low-protein group,<\/span> sciencedaily<\/span><\/a> reports.<\/span><\/p>\n another study in <\/span>physiology & behavior<\/span><\/a> looked at various diets and compared their results. the participants who ate more protein lost around 31 pounds in 3 months, which was about 23% more weight than those following other diet plans.<\/span><\/p>\n as reported by<\/span> prevention<\/span><\/a>, a separate study divided 30 overweight people into two groups. both ate the same number of calories per day.<\/span><\/p>\n one ate a diet centered on carbs, with only 15% of the calories coming from protein. the other ate a diet that consisted of 35% protein, including protein shakes made with whey protein.<\/span><\/p>\n at the end of the study, the group eating more protein lost between 5 and 7 pounds while the other group lost only 1 or 2. what’s more, the higher protein group shed mostly fat, especially in the belly.<\/span><\/p>\n takeaway: increasing the protein in your diet by drinking protein shakes can help you lose weight, especially fat that collects around the belly.<\/span><\/p>\n not all protein shakes are created the same. track the protein shakes you drink and the foods you eat with noom<\/strong><\/a><\/a>\u00a0and your daily nutritional values are available for the entire day, not just one meal.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n researchers have shown that protein helps manage appetite by altering hormone levels that affect appetite. it can also help you feel fuller for a more extended period (see<\/span> research<\/span><\/a> from<\/span> the american journal of clinical nutrition<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> cell metabolism<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n in one study, men who had protein at breakfast ate an average of 112 fewer calories at a buffet luncheon and 400 less in the subsequent 24-hour period,<\/span> medical news today<\/span><\/a> reports.<\/span><\/p>\n since eating protein will help you feel more full, you’ll automatically find yourself reaching for snacks less often, helping you to eat fewer calories throughout the day,<\/span> mnt<\/span><\/a> adds.<\/span><\/p>\n in fact, one study in <\/span>obesity<\/span><\/a> of overweight men showed that those who upped their protein intake to 25% of their daily calories reduced their cravings by up to 60% and cut late-night snack consumption in half.<\/span><\/p>\nwhat are protein shakes?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
