A recent study compared the thermogenic and metabolic effects of different protein sources to determine which type of protein allows for greater fat burning (oxidation). That’s right, certain proteins actual act as fat burners.
The three protein types used were whey protein, casein protein, and soy protein in a 50% protein, 40% carbohydrate, and 10% fat mixture. A 95% carbohydrate meal was also compared along with the protein mixtures to glucose meal.
The results showed the whey protein generated the greatest thermic effect as well as the greatest fat oxidation effect. The casein and soy did provide a slightly better appetite satiating effect but the whey was more “like” among the subjects.
This coincides with studies performed with VP2 Whey Isolate showing significant fat loss effects along with equally significant lean mass gains. Regular use of VP2 Whey Isolate will enhance your body’s daily thermogenic and fat burning potential.
The research on VP2 Whey Isolate has revealed some fascinating results in lean mass gains and favorable body composition changes. Studies like this one that look at specific effects give us even greater insight into just how this incredible protein source works it’s magic.
