Protein Shakes and Smoothies – Good for you?
by Answer is Fitness on June 15, 2019
Substituting a meal with protein shakes and smoothies have been a trending diet decision to fitness fanatics. Here are reasons they have become a mainstream dietary option to athletes and those who want to lose weight:
- Liquid diets tend to contain less calories than solid food. A study confirms that the body doesn't detect liquid calories the same way as it would detect calories from a solid diet.
- They are packed with nutrients and anti-oxidants that are well-calculated to meet recommended daily calorie intake.
- A healthy shake can be as filling as a solid meal but can keep you fuller for longer. This is because most healthy shakes has a substantial amount of protein content which is the most satiating macronutrient and ample fat content that delays gastric emptying. Also, its high-fiber content can decrease glucose release into the bloodstream.
While liquid meals are good substitutes for a solid meal, it is still recommended to eat a full solid meal at least ones or twice a day. To learn more nutrition and fitness tips, contact Answer is Fitness in North Attleboro, MA.
