Repost @fitdoclifestyle: ⠀ ...⠀ "Time for some supplement science! Today, I want to talk about the classic Whey Protein!⠀ 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻⠀ Whey is a naturally occurring protein found in a wide variety of foods and has long been the go-to protein for post-workout nutrition. It is rapidly digested and has been shown to increase levels of compounds called ‘incretins’, which have been shown to decrease blood sugar and insulin levels, which may lead to weight loss.⠀ 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻⠀ Immediately after a workout, muscles are broken down and substrate is required for repair. Whey protein is the go-to substrate as it is rapidly digested and utilized for repair and growth. Additionally, whey protein has been shown to stimulate muscle protein synthesis to a greater extent than other proteins like soy, as well as limit catabolism during periods of calorie restriction. Personally, I’m a fan of @kagedmusclesupps Re-Kaged. In addition to whey protein isolate, it contains betaine (a compound that aids in muscle protein synthesis), Creatine HCl (more on Creatine later 😊) and Glutamine (the most abundant amino acid in the human body. Everything I need and no extra crap that I don't! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻⠀ It has been suggested to me that, when taking whey protein, some people find that they gain weight. This is anecdotal evidence only. Studies have actually shown that, all diet and exercise programs being equal, those who take whey protein after workouts end up leaner than those who do not!⠀ 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻⠀
