The Crucial Period When Fat Loss Magically Happens



Nutrition experts and personal trainers alike preach the health benefits of protein.

They tell you things like:

“Protein helps you build muscle”…

Or “adequate protein intake is needed for weight loss.”

So you take their advice and you up your protein intake.

You start to lift heavier weights…

You include more sets…

You even implement a high-intensity workout program!




All to get a leaner look…

Or to get BIGGER and STRONGER muscles
!

For some, maintaining healthy levels of protein is essential to their overall success.

You see, there is a specific window of time – around 45 minutes to one hour POST workout – where your body is primed to take in protein, break it down, and use the resulting amino acids to build lean muscle tissue.

However, most people don’t know or understand when this window is - and - how to best use it to their advantage.

But, an analysis looking at 22 DIFFERENT studies, came to the conclusion that protein during this time, may be effective at boosting lean muscle AND improving strength.

Post-Workout Window

Immediately after your workout may be the best time to properly hydrate your body and provide it with the right nutrients to help it recover.

And this may also be the perfect time to include healthy levels of protein!

You see, immediately after a workout, your body and cells are very sensitive to the hormone insulin.

As you know, insulin helps to shuttle sugar from your blood into your muscles for quick energy and replenishment.

However, this process is also very efficient for breaking down protein and shuttling amino acids into your muscles.

If you remember, amino acids – which come from protein breakdown – are the essential building blocks of almost every cell in your body – especially lean muscle mass.


Now, when eating a protein shake – or a snack that has the right mixture of carbs to protein (chocolate milk for example) may provide your body with the right nutrition it needs immediately following a workout.


Plus, there is a study that shows how this time may be the most effective time to build lean, metabolism-boosting muscle mass.

Out of 22 randomized-controlled trials, they showed that protein immediately after a workout resulted in:

Positive effects for fat-free mass (lean muscle)…

Meaning an INCREASE in muscle mass!

And an increase in 1-repetition maximum on leg press…

Meaning they got STRONGER!

Oh, and did I mention that these results were shown in both YOUNG and OLDER adults?

The results:

“Protein supplementation increases muscle mass and strength gains during prolonged resistance-type exercise training in both younger and older adults.”



More Protein After Your Workout = Bigger, Stronger Muscles

Including protein into your daily nutrition plan is not only smart, but it may provide your body with the right nutrition and building blocks it needs to function at optimal levels.

Amino acids – which are building blocks of lean muscle mass – have been shown to increase muscle mass AND improve strength, when incorporated directly after your workout.

And, it doesn’t matter if you’re young or old!

So in order to build lean, metabolism-boosting muscle or to get stronger, including protein into your post-workout nutrition plan should be your top priority!
