Power of Protein

HIGH PROTEIN AND
FIBER CAN HELP
YOU LOSE WEIGHT

Let’s Talk About

Protein

Which macronutrient is most effective in providing a satiating effect?

Order of Macronutrient according to their ability to provide satiating effect 1-6

Proteins > carbohydrates > Fats

Increased satiety has been observed after meals with
a protein content in the range of:7

25%-81%

How can proteins provide a satiating effect?

There are different possible ways through which proteins may induce satiety, such as increasing the concentrations of ‘satiety’ hormones and increasing concentrations of amino acids.4

Who can benefit from increasing the percentage of dietary proteins?

For obese people, and especially those with diabetes, lowering carbohydrate in favor of protein might be advantageous as dietary carbohydrates might impair fat burning process.8

Let’s Talk About

fiber

Can dietary fibers help in losing weight?

Fiber reduces appetite and can positively influence some body measurements such as weight and waist circumference.9,10

How can dietary fibers help in weight management? 9,10

Can delay gastric emptying which enhances the sensation of fullness and satiety.

Can decrease the absorption of macronutrients such as carbohydrates

Can impact gut hormones responsible for appetite and satiation leading to better weight management.

Certain types enhance beneficial bacterial growth and reduce appetite.

What are Prebiotics?

They are certain types of dietary fibers such as fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS)” that may contribute in reducing appetite and increasing satiety and fullness after a meal in healthy people.11

In obese adults, these types of fibers brought noteworthy improvements in gut hormones, growth of beneficiary bacteria, hunger feeling, and some body measurements (such as weight and waist circumference).12

Let’s Talk About

Glucerna® Shake

Glucerna® Shake is high in protein and a source of fiber to promote satiety and help you lose weight.

Glucerna® Shake can easily be incorporated into a meal plan to help increase protein intake to support satiety, which is a key component to promote weight loss.
