There are a lot of strategies when it comes to getting in shape. The basic keys to weight control are diet and exercise, but protein must also play a role. Studies show that diets high in lean protein will lead to weight loss and help maintain lean muscle.
One of the quickest and easiest ways to get more protein in your diet is through protein enriched meal replacements. But do these help you lose weight? A recent study by nutrition journal put that question to the test by conducting a weight loss trail consisting of 100 Obese Men and Women.
Half of the subjects consumed a standard protein diet with 2 meal replacements a day. The other half were given meal replacements with considerably higher amounts of protein. After 12 weeks, both groups lost about the same amount of weight, but what was surprising was that the group with higher protein meal replacements had significantly higher fat loss, while maintaining lean muscle mass, compared to the other group.
Protein helps satisfy hunger, keeping you filled up longer. That's why Beachbody created their revolutionary nutrition drink, Shakeology. Shakeology is packed with 70 nutritients your body needs to function at its best. Plus, there are 17 grams of protein in each delicious chocolate shake, and 15 grams of protein in each Greenberry Shake. And, at only 140 calories, its the healthiest meal of the day.
