5 Reasons why you should drink protein to
Lose weight and keep it off

  1. Protein increases your fat-burning metabolism.
    The higher your metabolism is... The harder it is for you to gain weight.

    Protein helps you build and maintain muscle. A pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day or... 1 pound of extra muscle will help you lose 5 pounds a year
  2. Your body has to burn more calories (burn more fat) to process the protein you eat. Your body takes the extra carbs you eat and store it as fat.

    The protein you eat has to be assimilated into your body to help your muscle grow and recovery from the stresses of the day and to do that... Your body has to burn fat calories for this to happen and when that happens - You lose weight and look better. Protein doesn't get converted to fat

    You don't have to go on a high protein diet - just...

    You need to Eat - grams of protein each day speed up your fat burning metabolism.
  3. Protein is a good appetite suppressant. After you eat protein... you won't be hungry for longer periods of time and...

    The less hungry you are = the less likely you’ll overeat and gain weight.
  4. When you don’t eat enough protein you will lose muscle (the very muscle that makes you look good, look healthy, and look younger) and your metabolism will slow down and you’ll gain weight and you'll feel tired and sluggish
  5. Protein reduces insulin levels making it easier for the body to burn fat. Basically all this means is… Your body is less likely to store any of the calories you eat as fat.

Angelina,

You gain weight only when you overeat something no matter if it's protein, fat, or carbs and for all your meals...

You should have some protein (whether it be fish, meat, chicken, protein bars or shakes), healthy carbs like fiber, fruits & veggies and healthy fats from nuts & fish

As far as weight loss goes there really is no 'best time' to use protein but...

If you're trying to build muscle - then the best time to take protein is after a weight training or toning workout to help your muscles recover and grow faster.
