Designer whey protein is among the best protein powder for weight loss.

Proteins play a key role in in muscle, cell and organ functions as well as being present in bone, skin and hair. None the less they can be used in toning body weight. This is so for proteins control appetites and help avoid hunger cravings. Proteins keep u full for longer hence keeping hunger at bay avoiding too much food as a result losing weight.

Proteins especially those with low calories are also a requirement for maintaining muscle.

Whey Protein Powder Whey protein has high level branch-chained amino acids such as leucine

and valine which are crucial for protein synthesis. With more muscles being built, it all adds up to more calories being burnt, hence ultimate weight loss. Isolates are lower in carbohydrates, fat and lactose than other whey products. They generally taste better than other products too, but they often contain higher levels of sodium. Whey protein is also available as concentrates and hydrolysates. Concentrates are less expensive but yield less protein. However, all whey products digest more quickly than other types of protein powders. Most whey protein brands come specially formulated to either be added in water, added to fruit smoothies, added to milk or sprinkled over cerial or dessert. They also come in vanilla and chocolate forms all this in a bid to make it easily consumable.

Casein protein powder Casein protein powder contains bioactive milk

peptides that encourage muscle growth it also supports immune system functioning to help lose weight in a healthy way. Casein is a slow digesting protein that releases proteins over time making it an excellent choice to prevent muscle breakdown.

Soy protein powder Soy protein powder is effective for weight loss due to

its fat free properties. It provides all amino acids necessary for protein synthesis and muscle repair. However, the body cannot absorb soy as easily as whey. Like casein it supports immune system and also helps the body maintain low cholesterol levels. Soy protein is good option for vegetarians and also benefits those who are lactose intolerant. A sugar-free version is also available.
