Trying to lose weight? Before you go into difficult workout programs and strict diet plans, start with something very simple: a ‘protein drink’. Let’s take a quick look at what protein drinks are all about and whether they are any good.
The good news is that these drinks can work if you are looking for looking for weight loss. When you are on a diet, you basically consume fewer calories than you used to. Two or three weeks into this diet, your body starts adjusting to the change in calorie intake.
This is the time when protein-drinks come in picture and give your weight loss program a harder push. Generally, with the consumption of one gram of protein an individual can lose near about 30 calories.
Given the fact, there is around 12 grams of protein in each glass of protein drink. Then going by normal calculation, one glass can displace about 360 calories. Have two such glasses of protein drink everyday and you can burn up to 720 calories.
Thus in order to get energy, the body burns the fat that is already there; therefore accelerating weight loss.
But remember you need to be very careful while choosing your protein drink. Every drink has its own benefits; you need to know which one suits you the best. Note, for beginners it is very important to have amino acids in their drink or else it might result in muscle mass loss instead of fat loss.
It is also advisable not to go for drinks that have fillers, low protein quality and artificial sweeteners. They might come cheap but will slow down your weight loss process. Therefore, it is only wise to spend a little more money and buy quality products.
So, the right protein drink can actually work for weight loss. Just give it a try!
