Ep. #683: What’s the Best Protein Powder for Weight Loss?


Listen Later

You’ve probably heard that eating protein is important for losing weight.

You’ve also probably heard that protein powder is particularly effective for weight loss.

If you snoop around online for weight loss tips, one of the first pieces of advice you’ll find is that you should start sipping protein shakes to slim down.

And that raises the question—what’s the best protein powder for weight loss?

Well, before we can answer that question, you first need to understand a ground truth about weight loss: no protein powder, shake, or other supplement can make you lose weight on its own.

Instead, weight loss is the result of proper diet and training—supplements only amplify your efforts in the kitchen and gym.

Now for the good news: protein powder absolutely can help you lose weight if you use it to support your healthy eating habits and training program. And the kind of protein powder you choose can make a difference in your results.

So, in this podcast, you’ll learn . . .
