Want to lose weight and build muscle at the same time? It’s easy. Just add Muscle Milk to your diet and watch your body release excess fat while it develops more lean, smooth muscle mass.
As physicians, nutritionists, coaches, and other wellness and fitness specialists know, excess weight can endanger your health. But just losing weight isn’t enough to guarantee improved physical vitality. Successful dieters need to focus on increasing the amount of lean muscle their bodies have.
Exercise is essential when you’re dieting. However, most diets cause people to lose about half fat and half lean muscle tissue, which makes exercising much more difficult and tiring. Because Muscle Milk nutrition includes high-quality whey protein that helps balance blood sugar, dieters who add this product to their dietary regimens have more energy for exercising and avoid overeating that’s brought on by powerful food cravings.
Consume Protein, Burn Fat
In fact, virtually everyone who wants a slimmer, stronger, and healthier body will benefit from Muscle Milk protein. A study published in the American Journal of Physiology confirmed that increasing protein intake increases fat burning. One group participating in the study ate a high-protein diet of slightly more than 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day; the other group ate amounts of protein closer to the daily allowances recommended by the U.S. government.
One reason that boosting protein intake burns more fat is that increasing protein increases thermic effect. The thermic effect the high-protein-eating group in the study mentioned above experienced increased by 42 percent, while the other group’s thermic effect increased by only 16 percent.
Give Your Metabolism a Boost

Adding more Muscle Milk protein to your diet also increases metabolism, since our bodies burn more calories by processing protein than it does by digesting carbohydrates. Merely cutting calories causes your body to respond by lowering your
metabolism, which makes it more difficult to lose weight.  But increasing the percentage of protein in your diet makes your body burn more fat, and exercising while dieting further boosts your metabolism. Boosting protein intake when dieting also stops your body from behaving as if you are starving. In starvation mode, your body tries to conserve energy by burning as few calories as possible—hardly a state that dieters espouse, and one that Muscle Milk protein can help deflect.

In addition to boosting your metabolic rate, Muscle Milk nutrition helps your body burn more body fat than a low-protein diet without as severe a cutback in the calories you consume as other nutritional products that have lower-quality protein. Keeping your caloric intake as high as you can while still losing weight is another benefit of the high-quality Muscle Milk ingredients, and will help avoid the “starvation” mode mentioned above.
Lean and Smooth

Muscle Milk ingredients include not only high-quality protein but also the good lipids and long-chain polyunsaturated fats that swiftly provide the metabolism-boosting energy and protein synthesis essential for developing the smooth, lean muscles everyone wants.
And while all Muscle Milk products contain the same peptides and amino acids vital for high-quality protein supplementation, dieters looking to seriously reduce their fat intake may prefer Muscle Milk Light, which contains one-third less fat and 44 percent fewer calories than the original formula, and comes in a wide range of tasty flavors, including Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Banana Creme, Cookies ‘n Creme, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Strawberry Banana, Crème Brulee, Chocolate Mint, and Chocolate Caramel. (Chocolate lovers, take note: Muscle Milk Chocolate provides great chocolate flavor with no lactose or trans fats.)
