Losing weight with protein shakes

Protein and muscle preservation

Most people want to lose fat when they are trying to lose weight. Unfortunately, this also means losing muscle. Muscle growth and preservation require calories, while during weight loss, you are creating a calorie deficit. This makes it a difficult combination.

Protein shake as a meal replacement? Be careful!

Protein shakes are a solution to this problem. Proteins are an important building block for the body, and our muscles in particular consist largely of proteins. Therefore, it is wise to eat enough protein daily during weight loss. Proteins contribute to the preservation of muscle mass.

Using a protein shake as a meal replacement is a way to create a calorie deficit while ensuring that you get enough protein. However, it's not our preferred method.

Protein shakes lack important vitamins and minerals, as well as carbohydrates that are important for maintaining your energy levels. This makes using protein shakes for weight loss (especially in the long term) not the healthiest choice. You'll be getting too few nutrients.

That's why it's better to choose a protein-rich meal replacement shake, like Orangefit Diet. Our meal replacement contains only 249 calories and is packed with healthy nutrients. The Consumer Association rated it as the number one meal replacement in the Netherlands due to its high percentage of protein and the highest quality and best source of carbohydrates and fats!
