Diets that use weight loss powders, known as “formula diets,” remain very popular. They help reduce calorie intake and are easy to use. Counting calories, doing large grocery shops, and spending time preparing meals are no longer necessary.
Originally, these weight loss shakes were developed to help severely overweight individuals lose weight under medical supervision. Today, they have become a mainstream product. They are available in different price ranges and a variety of flavors.
Anyone who wants to lose weight needs a negative energy balance. Weight can only be reduced if less energy is consumed than the body uses for its activities. Total energy balance consists of the basal metabolic rate, which maintains bodily functions, and the active metabolic rate for physical activities.
If physical activity remains the same, calorie intake must therefore be reduced. The tricky part is that the body switches to “energy-saving mode,” meaning it slows down metabolism when essential nutrients are missing. In addition, if there is not enough protein, the body breaks down muscle tissue instead of fat. Since muscles burn more energy than fat tissue, the basal metabolic rate decreases. If you then return to normal eating habits, you often regain weight very quickly.
The diet shake helps you conveniently and easily save calories by replacing up to two meals per day.
Thanks to the optimal ratio of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, muscles are protected from breakdown. Because the fat and carbohydrate content is low, fewer calories are still consumed compared to conventional meals.
For a diet, one to a maximum of two meals per day can be replaced.
Overview
Phase 1
To lose weight effectively and relatively quickly, you should initially replace two meals with the diet shake. This phase lasts two weeks.
Phase 2
After the first phase, and once you are already much closer to your goal, it is recommended to consume a diet shake either in the morning or in the evening for four weeks. The other two to three daily meals should be balanced and low in calories.
Phase 3
The third phase is the stabilization phase. To maintain your desired weight, you can occasionally replace individual meals with the diet shake. This is especially useful if you have gained a little weight again or indulged occasionally. Pay attention to a healthy and balanced diet — this is the only way to lose weight successfully and maintain your target weight in the long term.
Tip:
Regular exercise, a healthy and balanced diet, and the Body Attack Diet Shake help you lose weight. Do something for your health and lose excess pounds quickly and easily. Healthy food tastes great and is the foundation for long-lasting results.
Diet shakes with casein supply the body with amino acids over a longer period of time. This protein is digested slowly and therefore keeps you feeling full for longer. Cravings for unhealthy foods are minimized. Diet shakes with whey protein are rich in so-called BCAAs. They are easy to digest and quickly supply the muscles with nutrients.
Soy protein can also be a main component of diet shakes. Compared to other diet shakes, the Body Attack diet shake does not contain soy protein but instead uses higher-quality milk proteins. These include whey and milk proteins, which provide more essential amino acids for maintaining and building muscle. Milk proteins are also very popular because of their delicious, creamy taste. Especially during a diet phase, when normal meals are sometimes skipped, flavor is essential to help you stay consistent. The four different flavors ensure variety.
Tip:
Mix the powder with water (200 ml) and let the prepared diet shake sit for about 10 minutes. The protein will thicken slightly and the diet shake will become even creamier.
While carbohydrates in particular can trigger the release of certain hormones into the bloodstream that may hinder effective weight loss and fat reduction, protein helps support satiety. This makes it less likely that you will consume too many additional foods. Excess calories are therefore effectively reduced. In the long term, this has a positive impact on the body and overall fat burning, making weight loss easier.
A change in diet and regular exercise should always be part of any weight loss concept. Diet shakes have the advantage of being very easy to integrate into daily life without much effort and, when used correctly, can lead to weight loss. As a rule, diet shakes contain all the important nutrients the body needs, so at least with short-term use, no nutrient deficiency is to be expected.
With very calorie-restricted diets, there may be a lack of protein, which can lead to a loss of muscle mass. For this reason, diet powders generally contain high-quality protein sources to counteract this effect.
Mixing the powder with still or low-carbonated water has the advantage of not adding extra calories or carbohydrates. Some weight loss shakes, such as Almased, require a small amount of oil to be added.
Using a shaker or a large spoon, the powder can be easily stirred in. This makes it possible to take it almost anywhere and enjoy it on the go. Alternatively, quark can also be an option.
