Protein Powder
Protein, which is a combination of amino acids,
is a very important component of virtually every
cell in the body. Protein is the building blocks
of muscles, hormones, enzymes the immune system
and much more. Without protein the body will not
be able to function correctly and will in fact
cease to continue functioning. All too often dieters
cut back on protein in their efforts to control
weight. This can lead to nutritional deficiencies
that can actually slow your weight reduction and
eventually lead to weight gain. This is commonly
referred to as ‘yo-yoing’.
Now you can get high quality, low fat protein
to supplement your daily diet. The ShapeWorks
protein powder is a convenient way to increase
your protein consumption which helps to maintain
your energy level between meals and helps you
to maintain lean muscle mass.
Why is protein so important?
Protein, more specifically the building blocks
of protein called ‘amino acids’, is
an essential component of virtually every cell
in the body. The cells of the immune system, skin,
hair and muscle, all depend on protein for proper
functioning and growth. Many dieters all too often
cut back on protein in an effort to trim calories
and lose weight. This can lead to deficiencies
that are not only detrimental to health, but can
also trigger nutritional imbalances in your body
that can actually slow your weight reduction and
eventually lead to weight gain. This is commonly
referred to as ‘yo-yoing’. To get
out of the vicious ‘yo-yo’ cycle,
you need to feed your body the proper balance
of nutrients; one of the most important being
protein. Adequate daily protein intakes range
from 50 to 60 grams for women to at least 70 grams
for men. An easy way to determine the optimum
amount of protein you need daily is to have 1
gram of protein for each kilogram of bodyweight,
so if you weigh 60 kilograms, you need approximately
60 grams of protein a day
