About Proteins
Proteins and other nutrients
Proteins are an essential part of any diet. Whether you want to lose weight or build muscle: proteins are a big part of the diet for women, men and non-athletes.
Proteins are part of the three main macronutrients. Macronutrients represent nutrients that your body needs in large amounts every day.
The three main nutrients that make up the macronutrients are carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
Proteins and weight loss
If you want to lose weight, proteins are an important nutrient, because they are the most satiating. This means that you have less hunger and appetite if you take in more protein.
For this reason, the Killerbody Diet is a high protein diet.
Proteins and sports
In addition, proteins play an important part in the development of muscles. Proteins not only contribute to the build-up of muscle mass, but also to the recovery and maintenance of the muscles.
With an increased protein intake, you actually kill two birds with one stone: you are less affected by hunger during your diet but do give your muscles the necessary nutrients to recover after exercise.
But even if you are not a fanatic athlete, you need protein for your muscles when you are on a diet. Why? Because when you are on a diet you eat below your calorie needs. That means your body needs to get the energy from something other than your diet. The last thing you want is for your body to get it out of your muscles. The result of this is that you start to look limp. That's why you take a casein protein shake every day during your diet. This way you protect the muscles and you feel full.
Fast and slow proteins
MKBM has two different proteins in its range: whey and casein. Both proteins are derived from cow's milk and both proteins have their own benefits. It depends on your personal goals which protein fits best in your diet.
Whey protein is quickly absorbed by the body and therefore repairs the muscles after a workout. This makes whey protein suitable for or immediately after exercise. Whey protein takes less time to fill and it is digested faster by the body.
Casein protein is slowly absorbed by the body. Casein is therefore suitable for combatting loss of muscle mass and perfect for bridging the time between workouts. This makes casein protein fit very well within a diet where the goal is to lose weight. In addition, casein protein is also suitable for heating, so you can use it in the dishes from the Killerbody Diet.
