Whey protein powder can be used to supplement a healthy diet for weight loss. Creating an overall energy deficit through exercise and eating a good balance of whole food groups is key for anyone looking to lose weight – unfortunately protein shakes alone don’t contain any magic weight loss remedies. Taking protein shakes alongside a healthy diet can aid weight loss. Protein shakes can help fend off food cravings as they keep you feeling full and satisfied for longer. With no added sugar, nothing artificial, no fillers and trace amounts of fat and carbs, WPI90 is healthy for you and comes in at under 120 calories per shake when mixed with water.

If using your protein alongside an exercise regime then we recommend enjoying a protein shake within an hour of finishing your workout to enhance recovery. Protein shakes can also be consumed at any time throughout the day, depending on your individual needs. It’s ideal to spread your protein intake throughout the day as your body can only process so much protein in one sitting/meal.

No, protein powders are not essential if you are wanting to lose weight. A combination of regular exercise and eating in a calorie deficit will generally help you to lose weight (depending on medical conditions). Not everyone loses weight the same way however, protein powders can be a great addition in your weight loss journey. Check out our blog for more on how to use protein for your fitness goals.

The time it takes to see results differs from person to person depending on gender, age, starting point, sleep quality and other factors such as medical conditions or medications. However, you could start seeing results anywhere between 4-8 weeks when taking protein in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle.

It is most important to pair any weight loss supplement or exercise program with a balanced diet first. After you have nailed the foundations of a healthy diet, it can be useful to identify nutritional gaps or areas you struggle to maintain (e.g. hitting Xg of protein each day). Specific supplements can then be used to assist in those areas.
