I do believe a structured nutritional approach is essential for effective fat loss or muscle gain. However, I don’t believe that setting “a target weight” accurately assesses progress in either of these objectives. Therefore, I don’t believe in structuring protein or any macronutrient requirement according to “a target weight”.
While research suggests that whey is the most effective dietary protein at enhancing body composition, not all whey formulations are the same in their ability to stimulate gains in lean muscle mass. VP2 Whey Isolate™ is the only whey protein shown in tightly-controlled, well-designed research to speed muscle recovery and improve muscle strength in the gym as well as accelerate muscle gains and fat loss during training. In this research, bodybuilders that were administered VP2 Whey Isolate during Max-OT training show positive effects using a dose of 1.5-grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. For a 175-pound bodybuilder this equates to just over 4 scoops of VP2 per day.
Using this dose of VP2 Whey Isolate, bodybuilders gained an average of 11-pounds of pure muscle and lost an average of 3.3-pounds of body fat in 12 weeks. VP2 was shown to be over 600% more effective for stimulating lean mass gains than the same dose of a regular (high quality) protein supplement. Remember, VP2 Whey Isolate is the only whey protein formulation documented in scientific research to provide these effects.
