The best meal replacement programs can be quite effective in weight reduction. The popularity of meal replacement products greatly increased after the turn of the 21st century.

These products are helpful to people who do not receive the right nutrition because of their eating habits. The need to lose weight is also another factor that makes people go for meal replacement programs.

The program requires individuals to replace the intake of their usual meals with those suggested by the meal replacement program. There are different types of programs; some provide a person with complete healthy meals while others simply consist of some foods such as milkshake that provides a person with the nutrition he would get from a complete meal. Sticking to a meal replacement program has helped individuals lose and maintain their weight as well as receive proper nutrition.

There are a number of vitamins and minerals packed in meal replacement shakes. It is important to check the ingredients in a meal replacement shake before buying. Ensure the ingredients are nutritionally balanced. This is essential because there are certain shakes that are designed to help people lose weight and may not have the proper nutrition for those who do not need to lose weight.

The other type of meal replacement program offers individuals with a complete and healthy meal. Such meals can be purchased from various stores and are normally located in the frozen foods section. A person can also make an order from a meal replacement program and have them delivered to the door. The reason why these meals are effective in weight reduction is that they are low on fat. However, they contain all the nutrition a person needs on a daily basis. Though shakes are common as a meal replacement, energy bars are also gaining popularity. The bars contain a high amount of proteins and are nutritionally balanced.

Meal replacements are nutrition sources that are portable and healthy. They are most suitable for individuals who may not be able to fix healthy meals when in their homes or away from home. They are also suitable for old people with low appetite, body builders who want to gain muscle weight and those who are ill. Meal replacements can lead to weight gain or loss depending on the product used. There are three types of meal replacements: powder, bars and shakes.

The choice of a meal replacement will therefore depend on the goals of an individual. A meal replacement product that is low on calories is suited to those who want to lose weight while one that is high in proteins is for weight gain.

As you can imagine we get a lot of email enquiries. Can I eat fruit if I’m on a weight loss plan? Is it possible that bananas make me fat? Is it ok to eat bananas whilst I’m trying to lose weight? You get the gist of it right… So it has inspired me to right this post.

First of all, I eat bananas. I not only eat them I enjoy them. So this is not a banana bashing post. But in saying that, I only eat them on certain occasions, and for me it’s all about personal circumstances (weight loss/weight gain) and timing. Continue reading →

Guy: This a great post by Tania as we focus on The Month Of The Gut. If you are wondering what the relationship is to the gut, weight loss and overall health then this is a must read. I’ll be having the gut test Tania talks about in this post… In the mean time, enjoy! Over to Tania…

Tania: If you have been struggling with your weight loss plan, most of your attention will be on the food you eat and increasing your exercise – which is great, but there are some people who despite their best efforts are still unable to lose weight. Does this sound familiar and why is this the case? A growing amount of research has identified the link between an imbalance of bacteria in the digestive system regarding weight gain, metabolic syndrome and obesity. Continue reading →

Bodyweight is a pretty good indicator of overall health, and being excessively overweight is the biggest sign of poor health. Sadly, one of the main reasons for weight gain is poor food choices.

They say that diet accounts for 70% of general health, while exercise only makes up the remaining 30%. If that assumption is correct, eating less and healthier is the obvious solution to any weight problem. The problem is that most people have no idea how to eat right. In addition to reducing intake of simple carbohydrates and fats, consuming high quantities of fruits, vegetables, and lean protein is the perfect way to shed those extra pounds.

Why should I eat protein?

When your major goal is to lose weight, your primary concern should be to pack on some lean muscle mass. Gaining muscle speeds up your body’s metabolic rate to help you burn more calories while at rest. It’s a much better long-term solution to losing fat and getting toned than doing cardiovascular exercises exclusively.

In order to build lean muscle, you will need to focus on performing resistance exercises. This generally means lifting weights, but you could perform bodyweight exercises or resistance band workouts instead. What really matters is that you use weight that is challenging for you so that muscle stimulation is optimized.

After working out, you will need to rebuild your torn muscle fibers by eating lots of high quality protein and resting. Protein is what repairs your muscles so they can grow larger and more powerful than before. Without enough, you will never gain muscle or get lean.

Do I need to take protein supplements?

Protein supplements are a great way to get your recommended daily intake. While they are not necessary, most people have a difficult time getting enough in their normal food for a number of reasons. Some people are too busy to prepare proper meals, and others may follow vegetarian diets, excluding a lot of protein sources from the diet. Supplements provide you with a quick and easy way to get your protein fix whenever you want it.

What is the Best Protein Supplement for Weight Loss?

Any supplement that contains a good amount of high-quality protein will help you to gain muscle, burn fat, and lose weight. Unfortunately, most protein supplements on the market also contain lots of sugars, preservatives, and other chemicals that your body doesn’t really need.

When searching for a protein bar or powder, look for one that contains a high proportion of natural ingredients. Some of the best around are those from 180 Nutrition. Known for their raw protein supplements, 180 Nutrition can supply you with the fuel to drop weight and get fit in the most healthy way possible.

Sticking to a meal replacement program has helped individuals lose and maintain their weight as well as receive proper nutrition.

Check the ingredients

There are a number of vitamins and minerals packed in meal replacement shakes. These foods also contain proteins and are used by body builders to build muscles. It is important to check the ingredients in a meal replacement shake before buying. Ensure the ingredients are nutritionally balanced and natural. This is essential because there are certain shakes that are designed to help people lose weight and may not have the proper nutrition for those who do not need to lose weight. Here at 180 Nutrition our ingredients are totally natural

The other type of meal replacement program offers individuals with a complete and healthy meal. Such meals can be purchased from various stores and are normally located in the frozen foods section. A person can also make an order from a meal replacement program and have them delivered to the door. The reason why these meals are effective in weight reduction is that they are low on fat.

The choice of a meal replacement will therefore depend on the goals of an individual. A meal replacement shake that is low on calories is suited to those who want to lose weight while one that is high in proteins is for weight gain.

When wondering what the best meal replacement shakes are it always pays to read the label. If you are staring at a long list of ingredients that you struggle to pronounce then you’d have to wonder if your meal replacement shake is actually healthy.

Did you know that many popular meal replacement shakes contain ingredients that have actually been linked to weight gain? Artificial sweeteners such as Aspertame (also known as NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, Canderel & E951, etc) have been known to inhibit weightloss and cause many uncomfortable side effects. This toxic chemical has long been recognised by prominent medical authorities as a neurotoxin, yet it is found in many diet supplements and diet foods.

So what is the answer when choosing the best meal replacement shake for you? We recommend natural ingredients over synthetic and a good ratio of protein, carbohydrates and fat, with enough fibre thrown in to keep you feeling full.

At 180 Nutrition our Natural Protein Superood makes a nutritious meal and will become your favourite meal replacement shake. With all natural ingredients and zero chemicals you can start your day with a healthy smoothie, the perfect meal replacement shake.

The amount of times I get asked and emailed this question amazes me: Will your protein supplement help me gain weight and put on muscle?

So here are a couple of things I want you to consider before I answer this question.

1. Are you expecting to put on muscle from simply drinking a protein supplement? Or do you realise that a lot of hard work in the gym is necessary.

2. If you are training in a gym, is your weight training program constantly varied and you train your muscles to fatigue?

3. If so, are you allowing enough recovery time with the type of training you are doing? More does not necessarily mean better

I only highlight these points because because they can be easily overlooked. If you are trying to gain muscle and gain weight through diet, your training program is going to be a big part of your success. Continue reading →

Know anyone who drinks soft drinks? If you do, tell them to spend 5 minutes going over this extremely well put together image. (Click image to enlarge.)

If they still persist and continue to drink the stuff, then shine a torch in their ear and see if you can see light the other side! Soft drinks are bad for you plain and simple!

Some of you might be reading this and say that’s ok, I only drink diet soda. Well think again! Diet sodas contribute to weight gain, obesity and ill health just as much as sodas.

I wrote a post recently on the effects of diet sodas – Are diet sodas a health choice?

The message is simple really. If you care about your health, kick the soft drinks all together!  Continue reading →
