PROTEIN SHAKES FOR WOMEN

Protein is one of the three essential macronutrients in the diet which is vital for series of metabolic and physiological processes in the body, including immuno/neurological processes and the growth and development of muscle and muscle tissue.

Many women believe that consuming protein shakes can lead to development of large amounts of muscle mass and increase weight. As a matter of fact, in the body women do not produce enough testosterone to build muscle in the same way as men.

Increasing protein in your diet can actually provide a series of benefits that can act to aid your training goals whether you’re trying to improve fitness, lose weight or consume a healthier diet. Find out the benefits of protein shakes for women and all the different variations below.

PROTEIN FOR WEIGHT LOSS

When it comes to dieting and weight loss many people choose to follow a high carb, low fat and low protein diet. But did you know protein is actually the most filling macronutrient?

Protein shakes can be an easy way to get more protein in your diet whereby an increase in protein can help suppress appetite and keep you fuller for longer.

Not only this, but increasing your protein intake can act to increase your metabolism and promote the fat burning process when combined with a good training regime.

We've got a range of diet protein shakes that contain high levels of protein and a number of healthy ingredients - with a minimal fat, carbohydrate and lactose content.

PROTEIN FOR TONED MUSCLE

When thinking of protein shakes, many women tend to follow a common misconception that any added protein in the diet will result in the formation of big bulky muscles.

However, in order to build the same amount of muscle as men, the body requires a certain level of growth and testosterone hormones – a level which women simply cannot naturally produce.

As a result of this, more protein can contribute to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass- which can help achieve a toned body when combined with a good exercise program.

Sometimes fitting the gym into your schedule is a struggle, but the ease and convenience of protein shakes can ensure you benefit from enough protein in your diet.

PROTEIN FOR MEAL REPLACEMENTS

When we’re on the go, it’s sometimes hard to stop - whether you’re trying to improve your fitness, lose weight or consume a healthy balanced diet, it’s important not to miss meals.

Many people believe missing meals can promote weight loss, when in fact it actually slows down your metabolism and may even make you over eat later in the day.

Here at Myprotein we've got a range of protein shake meal replacements for even the busiest of schedules, to keep your protein consumption high.

Remember consuming more protein can not only help suppress your appetite but also increase your metabolism and fat burning.
