The Truth About Protein Shakes
It seems like every year a new health and weight-loss craze takes the media by storm.
Remember the 90’s dieting fads? It was the opposite of diet trends today. It was common weight-loss advice to eat pasta and low-fat food. Beliefs last a decade or two until the information is debunked by results.
Today, diabetes and obesity rates are skyrocketing partly from this craze, plus we have a food pyramid that is totally wrong.
Combine that with fast food overload and low-quality convenience foods it's a perfect storm of diet destruction!
One thing that's remained fairly consistent is the importance of protein.
Diets higher in protein, correlate to healthier body weight. In the last 10 years, protein shakes have emerged as one of the most popular health food shortcuts.
But what should you look for in a protein shake?
Here are three key inishgts to help you find the right protein.
# 1. Not All Protein Shakes Are Created Equal (most are bad)
Even with “clean eating,” you may not get the exact nutrients your body and brain need. Consuming fruit, vegetables, and lean protein is part of all diet plans. But are you consuming high-quality protein?
Many shakes contain ingredients such as whey or soy protein. Whey is made from milk. Many people cannot tolerate whey protein or milk, it can cause bloating, inflammation, and gut distress.
Soy-based protein is usually a GMO and highly estrogenic; it imbalances hormones.
What we need is a high quality protein such as pea protein. It’s made from chickpeas (garbanzo bean). It’s high in protein, and a digestible prebiotic. It has phytonutrients that whey and soy lack. These nutrients and vitamins are needed to successfully lose weight as they nourish important glands in our brain and body.
At Reset360 we use a proprietary plant-based protein made from NON-GMO peas, sweet potatoes, and chlorella. It's one of the reasons our shakes blend so smoothly without tasting gritty, chalky, or weird.
# 2. Nutrition & Protein Shakes Have Fewer Calories Than Most Food
Drinking a protein shake has about 190 calories per serving. Compared to a normal meal, that’s low. Typical meals can have three times that, especially when eating out.
When it comes to losing unwanted weight, calories do matter. It's easy to have too many calorie dense foods that can contribute to weight gain. That's where a protein shake can help.
Even with some fruit blended in, a Reset360 All-In-One shake has less than 300 calories but can keep you full for hours (because of the protein and fiber).
# 3. We Have Cravings When Our Body Lacks Nutrients
Protein shakes are more popular when they taste good. When the body craves carbohydrates, studies show it lacks protein! Protein stabilizes blood sugar and keeps us full longer. But, protein is not sweet unless formulated into a nutrition shake.
Everyone needs a nutrition shake with vitamins, prebiotics, and probiotics that tastes good. As we leave an unhealthy lifestyle, we lose sugar cravings. Having a delicious shake on hand makes the transition easy.
