A high protein intake within your diet boosts metabolism, reduces appetite, and also alters several hormones that regulate weight.
Proteins can therefore help you lose weight and abdominal fat by delivering results through various mechanisms.
Herbalife offers several products containing high-quality proteins from multiple sources to meet everyone's needs, including vegans.
One of the most famous is undoubtedly Herbalife Formula 3. This is a low-calorie Herbalife product ideal for increasing daily protein intake, containing all the essential amino acids from soy and milk.
One of Herbalife's key protein products is certainly the Protein Drink Mix: a powdered food supplement to be mixed with water.
The high-quality proteins together with the vitamins and minerals in the Protein Drink Mix help support muscle mass maintenance and energy metabolism.
As for snacks, particularly protein bars, Herbalife offers protein bars enriched with vitamins, available in 3 flavors, representing a balanced snack between nutrition and taste.
Among Herbalife's high-protein products that might be a bit less famous, we have High Protein Iced Coffee, a tasty beverage to enjoy mid-morning or afternoon with just 80kcal, and Tri Blend Select: a water-soluble protein preparation made from selected raw materials such as peas, quinoa, and flaxseeds, from which Herbalife creates a high-quality vegan blend to provide plant-based proteins, high fiber content, and low sugar.
If fat loss is not your only or primary goal, but you want to achieve denser and stronger muscles, Herbalife's sports line H24 is for you.
Within this line, you can find various high-protein products specifically designed for athletes who want to enhance their performance day by day:
Now, if you want to discover how Herbalife proteins, expertly mixed from various sources and in varying proportions, can help you achieve your fat loss and muscle gain goals, continue reading this article that will show you, through studies and empirical data, how proteins can help you achieve great results for your body.
Your weight is actively regulated by your brain, particularly by an area called the hypothalamus. For your brain to determine when and how much to eat, it processes several types of information. Some of the most important signals to the brain are hormones that change in response to eating.
A higher protein intake actually increases the levels of satiety hormones (which reduce appetite) GLP-1, peptide YY, and cholecystokinin, reducing levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin.
By replacing carbs and fats with protein, you reduce the hunger hormone and increase several satiety hormones.
This leads to a significant reduction in hunger and is the main reason why proteins help you lose weight.
After eating, some calories are used to digest and metabolize food.
While not all sources agree on the exact figures, it is clear that proteins have a much higher thermic effect (20-30%) compared to carbohydrates (5-10%) and fats (0-3%).
If we have a thermic effect of 30% for proteins, this means that 100 calories of protein ultimately result in only 70 usable calories.
Due to the high thermic effect (along with other factors), a high protein intake tends to increase metabolism. Essentially, it makes you burn more calories, 24 hours a day, even during sleep.
It has been shown that a high protein intake boosts metabolism and increases the number of calories burned by about 80 to 100 per day.
This effect is particularly pronounced during overeating or while eating with a calorie surplus. In one study, overeating with a high-protein diet increased calories burned to 260 per day.
By making you burn more calories, high-protein diets have a "metabolic advantage" over lower-protein diets.
As we mentioned earlier, proteins can reduce hunger and appetite through various mechanisms.
This can lead to an automatic reduction in calorie intake.
In other words, you end up consuming fewer calories without constantly counting them or controlling portions.
Numerous studies have shown that when people increase their protein intake, they also start consuming fewer calories.
In one study, proteins at 30% of calories led people to automatically reduce their calorie intake by 441 calories per day, which is a huge amount.
So, high-protein diets not only have a metabolic advantage but also an "appetite advantage," making it much easier to cut calories compared to diets based on other principles.
Cravings are one of the worst enemies of dieters. They are one of the main reasons why people tend to fail in their diets. A possible solution could be the breakfast, which is the most important meal for some people.
In a study on teenage girls, a high-protein breakfast significantly reduced cravings. It even reduced night snacking.
This may be mediated by improved function of dopamine, one of the main hormones involved in cravings and addiction.
SUMMARY: Eating more proteins can reduce cravings and desire for late-night snacking. These changes may be mediated by improved dopamine function.
Weight loss doesn't always mean fat loss.
When you lose weight, muscle mass also tends to be reduced.
The thing you really want to reduce is body fat, both subcutaneous and visceral fat.
However, muscle mass is often lost along with fat.
Another side effect of weight loss is that the metabolic rate tends to decrease.
In other words, you end up burning fewer calories than before the weight loss.
This is often referred to as "starvation mode," and it can amount to several hundred fewer calories burned per day.
Resistance training is another important factor that can reduce muscle loss and metabolic slowdown during weight loss.
For this reason, a high-protein intake and heavy strength training are two incredibly important components of an effective fat loss plan.
They not only help maintain muscle mass but also ensure that the calories you're burning come primarily from body fat.
SUMMARY: Eating plenty of protein can help prevent muscle loss when losing weight, and this also helps to keep your metabolic rate higher as you lose body fat.
