Typically when you diet and lower calories below what is required to maintain your current weight, your body thinks you're starving and significantly reduces its natural production of immunoglobulin. This causes body fat loss and your overall metabolism to slow dramatically. If you do lose body weight, the catabolic state your body falls into will cause you to lose muscle much faster than body fat because body fat is your body's most valuable source of stored energy and means of survival.
Supplementing with Protein Extreme while reducing calories puts your body in an anabolic state opposite to the catabolic state it falls into when it thinks you're starving. An anabolic state combined with reduced calories allows lean muscle to be maintained and significantly greater muscle tone to be achieved because stored body fat is used as your primary source of energy
What is an anabolic state?
The word anabolic is derived from anabole, of Greek origin, which means to build up. The anabolic state is diametrically opposed to the catabolic state, which means, predictably, to break down. Within the body, these two processes refer to either the construction of molecules from smaller components, or the breakdown of larger molecules to smaller units. So your body is either in the process of building up its components such as organs, tissues, bones, and muscle mass, or its breaking them down, or its somewhere in between.
A helpful tip: adequate sleep is also an important factor in achieving an anabolic state, so get your eight hours a night!!!
How soon will I see results?
Changes in fat free mass occur within a week of taking the supplement in animal studies, but most people notice an increase in energy levels right after taking their first protein shake made with Protein Energy.
Please note that Protein Energy is not an appetite suppressant, and the healthiest route to weight loss is combining daily Protein Extreme supplementation with a natural foods based diet and an exercise regimen.
How much should I take?
For best results, drink one scoop of Protein Extreme mixed with 8-12 oz. of skim milk or cold water upon waking. In addition, drink approximately sixteen ounces of water within thirty minutes and one ounce for every two pounds of body weight throughout the rest of your day.
Why do I need to drink water after?
All protein pulls water from your system, which can cause dehydration and further lead to gas, fever, nausea and diarrhea. The protein in Protein Extreme has a very high rate of absorption and adequate water intake is crucial for ensuring the best results are obtained.
