Which Type Of Whey Protein Supplements Are Best To Lose Weight?

By Russ Howe


Learning how to lose weight can be a very tricky affair, particularly when you discover the world of supplements and meal replacement shakes. Today, you are going to learn how to tell which whey protein is best for you to use.

Driving your reasons for using any food replacement product should be your overall fitness goals. If you are trying to shed some unwanted poundage you need to be very careful about which type of product you use.

The slimming industry is a billion dollar business, so it is to be expected that marketing hype is everywhere. Due to the sheer volume of hype out there surrounding every new supplement to hit the market, it has become almost impossible for most people to understand whether a product is as solid as it claims to be. Many simply try buying and hoping for the best, which can become an expensive mistake to make on a regular basis.

But with so many products on the market, how is it even possible to decide which one would suit your goals? Well, there are three main things to look for when you see a whey protein product.

* If your goal is fat loss you should be looking for a supplement which primarily focuses on providing you with high protein and low carbs.

* Each protein shake will provide you with a certain number of grams of protein. Be sure to make note of this number because it's very important.

* Look at the first ingredient on the packaging. If it's hydrolized whey isolate then the product contains the fastest digesting form of whey on the market. This is also normally the most expensive form, followed by isolate and concentrate respectively.

When you learn to do the three items shown above you'll find it much easier to compare products and determine whether a supplement is really as good as it claims to be on the packaging. The main group of people affected by these choices are ladies, scared to use a meal replacement shake in case it results in weight gain.

To ensure the shake you're looking at is designed for fat loss and lean muscle building, take a quick glance at the number of grams of carbohydrates provided in each serving. It should be quite low if your goal is losing fat. Anything which provides you with the same amount of carbs as protein is designed for bulking up and not suitable to those with slimming goals.

Once you have done that, it's time to establish the quality of the protein you have. If your product is primarily made from hydrolized whey isolate then you have the fastest digesting form on the market. It's usually the most expensive form, too.

Recent scientific studies also showed that the optimal amount of protein in one meal is between twenty and thirty grams. This means your ideal shake should provide somewhere in the region of twenty five grams per shake. Studies showed that when people consumed more than this, their body couldn't process it and it merely resulted in the excess protein being excreted as waste.

Like most things in life, once you get past the initial hype and confusion you'll discover that it's not as difficult as you first thought. Learning how to lose weight is much the same. Now that you have the knowledge to look for the important information which will help you determine which whey protein is best for you, your fitness goals will be much easier to achieve.
