Why and how to use protein shakes when dieting.
Posted by LIAM KINGSWELL
AUTHOR: Gareth Sapstead: MYOBAND Fitness DirectorĀ When it comes to losing weight then it's as simple as calories in versus calories out (CICO). Essentially, if you want to lose weight then you need to ādo more and eat lessā. Scientifically this is covered in the first two laws of thermodynamics. Real-world evidence for this can be seen in those whoāve lost weight following a calorie-restricted diet of Oreo Thins, Jaffa cakes and Pepsi light! Itās not smart, but eating what youād like while tracking just your calorie intake is a guaranteed way to lose weight. Ā However, when it comes...

Posted by PROPROTEIN LTD ADMIN
Ā AUTHOR: Fitness Director - Gareth Sapstead In the previous article we covered the best source of amino acids to take during your workouts, and how casein hydrolysate represents the gold-standard of intra-workout protein juices. You may recall how we mentioned briefly that in order to support those amino acids in getting to work then you need to manage insulin.Ā Insulin is one of the bodyās most anabolic hormones and among other things acts to reduce protein breakdown.

It is one of three macronutrients which are crucial for every day bodily functions and structure. Consuming a higher protein-rich diet has shown to suppress the feeling of hunger and also speed up metabolism, thus increasing the amount of calories burnt (4).

Is late-night snacking bad for fat loss?
Posted by PROPROTEIN LTD ADMIN
Author: Gareth Sapstead - Fitness Director A calorie at 7.59pm is the same as a calorie at 8.01pm, and contrary to what some believe thereās no magical time where every calorie suddenly gets stored as fat. Saying that a calorie at 8.01pm will make you gain fat, is kind of like saying eating fat will make you gain fat, something we all hopefully know to be incorrect. Ā Eating of fats, carbohydrates, and even protein (albeit to a lesser degree) will cause you gain weight if you OVEREAT them. Your macronutrients (carbs, fat, protein, alcohol) make up your total calorie...
