In this short video, you will learn exactly how to use whey protein for weight loss and better health!

Men and women can both use whey protein shakes to lose weight, find out how!

A lot of people think whey protein is only for bodybuilders, bros, and super jacked stick figures like myself.

Not true.

Whey protein is actually a tremendous tool for those of you looking to lose weight.

Thatâ??s why today, I am going to show you exactly how to use whey protein for weight loss.

Here are the 7 best tips and steps for beginners.

1. Understand what whey protein actually is.

Whey is the liquid part of milk that gets separated when cheese is made.

If youâ??ve ever opened a yogurt container and have seen a watery substance at the top, this is whey protein.

This liquid substance is what is turned into powder form to create whey protein.

Just in case youâ??re wondering, this process also cuts out the 95% of the lactose so if youâ??re allergic to dairy, you really have nothing to fear.

2. Understand the different types of whey protein powder.

There are three main forms of protein powder: whey concentrate, isolate, and hydrolestate.

Concentrate is about 70-80% protein with some milk sugar and fat.

Isolate is 90% protein and has a little less sugar and fat.

Hydrolysate is also known as hydrolyzed whey, has virtually 0 sugar and fat, and is mixed with enzymes for the faster digestion into the blood stream.

So, you may be wondering, does the type of protein matter?

Not really.

The minute differences between to two are not enough that it should cause you any stress or concern.

Leave that sort of worrying for your overall diet and exercise routine.

For what itâ??s worth, most of the studies are done using whey isolate and itâ??s what I use as well.

3. Understand why protein works so well for weight loss

There are 3 reasons are particularly compellingâ?¦

#1. It will keep you full. Protein can cut down sugar cravings by as much as 60%.
#2. Itâ??s easy. As long as you have a blender bottle on hand, all you need to do is add water. Which is great to have on the go or at work where eating healthy is more difficult.
#3. It preserves lean muscle tissue when dropping weight. This ensures that when you do lose weight the majority of it is fat.

We talk a lot about protein on this channel and this is just the short list of reasons why.

4. Whey protein has lots of other proven health benefits, which helps the body function better and makes weight loss easier.

Things like:

Improves muscle performance
Lowers blood pressure
Reduces symptoms of stress
Helps you get in more water naturally
And contains a small amount of antioxidants.

Are additional reasons why whey protein is important and helpful for weight loss.

5. What are the best times to take whey protein?

In order of importance.

Take 30 minutes before or after your workouts. This has been shown to help with muscle development and recovery after a workout.

Take 30 minutes before meals or dinning out. This will help you keep you from binge eating and give you more control over what you eat when out with friends or family members.

Finally, you can use it as a healthy snack. Whenever my chocolate cravings hit mid day, I use it to get in my chocolate fix without all the sugar.

6. What should you mix it with?

Water or unsweetened nut milks like cashew, almond, and coconut work best. Try to avoid using milk as it has a good amount of sugar.

Other great places to use protein is in oatmeal, Greek yogurt, and smoothies for a flavor boost.

This really adds a great taste to the otherwise bland healthy foods.




7. How much should you get in?
