Specialized Protein - Dieter's Protein

For Enhanced Fat Burning & Lean Mass Preservation

Expected benefits from using Specialized Protein: For Dieters include:

Specialized Protein represents the next generation of specialty proteins scientifically engineered to meet the needs of specific athletes and applications. More and more research is revealing that there is no single best source of protein for everyone. Whey, casein, soy and egg all have unique functional properties, valuable fractions, and amino acid profiles that can benefit the athlete and healthy individual alike.

For Dieters has been specifically designed to help athletes preserve valuable lean mass during calorie-restricted dieting. When dieting, whether it's for a competition or for general weight loss, maintaining lean mass is crucial. Lean mass is "expensive" from a metabolic point of view--it requires more calories to maintain (i.e., it burns more calories at rest). During dieting, lean mass is lost along with fat. When this happens, your metabolism slows, making it more and more difficult to continue burning fat. Eventually, a plateau is reached. Under these stressful conditions, your body needs specific proteins and amino acids more than others. In short, it needs Specialized Protein: For Dieters.

Like its Gainer counterpart, Specialized Protein's "For Dieters" is a scientifically engineered protein matrix designed for dieting individuals. Its unique protein matrix, SPM 211™, has been specially formulated to: (1) provide extra energy (2) maintain lean mass; and (3) help suppress your appetite. When dieting, your body demands high ratios of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and glucogenic amino acids.

Gluconeogenic substrates are critical for generating additional energy during fasting (dieting) and preventing the leakage of aminos from muscle tissue. During sustained low carb/low fat dieting, the muscles release glucogenic amino acids to increase gluconeogenesis, a process where additional glucose is produced for energy. As this process continues, you lose more and more lean mass over time. SPM 211™ has been engineered to be richer in these aminos (e.g., alanine, glutamine, glycine, threonine, serine, methionine, tyrosine and lysine).

SPM 211™ is also high in BCAAs, particularly leucine, which many studies show help preserve valuable lean mass during exercise and dieting. BCAAs have also been shown to be a source of energy and help the body selectively burn fat for energy during carbohydrate-depleted states. Along with glutamine, BCAAs are the best anti-catabolic aminos around.

The key proteins in SPM 211™ include our Water-Washed Soy Isolates® (WWSI®), Isolated Casein Peptides® (ICP®), and our ultrafiltered Pro Whey Complex® (PWC®) in optimized ratios. For the dieter, WWSI® contains a high concentration of active isoflavones. In addition to lowering cholesterol levels, WWSI® can increase endogenous production of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroxin (T4), two substances which can increase your body's metabolism for increased fat burning. Furthermore, during low-calorie dieting, WWSI® has been shown to reduce nitrogen loss and enhance fat burning over casein.

Though soy might be better at enhancing fat loss, casein has unique advantages of its own. Our optimized ICP® contains the richest source of glutamine found in any protein source. Plus its casomorphins help slow motility. This is important because it helps you feeling full for longer periods of time. Finally, ICP®'s high level of phenylalanine increases the brain's production of norepinephrine and additional CCK.

Like ICP®, PWC® also stimulates the release of CCK in the duodenum thanks to its glycomacropeptide (GMP) content. CCK, a hormone released after fat or protein consumption, is responsible for signaling satiety and thus reducing appetites, a valuable tool during dieting. Our Pro Whey Complex contains some of the highest levels of GMP found anywhere. Whey also contains the highest levels of branched-chain amino acids. Taken together, soy, whey and casein are invaluable proteins for the dieter.
