On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I want to share a quick and easy post workout shake recipe for weight loss.
This is perfect for people looking to lose weight, while maintaining muscle to keep their metabolism fast and healthy, while in a calorie deficit.
I call it the “Super Powered Lean And Green Post Workout Shake For Weight Loss”.
Before I share the recipe, let me explain why the nutrients in this shake will help with weight loss:
A post workout shake low in carbohydrates, say what?
Now I know you’ve probably heard me say that carbohydrates post workout are in a good thing, and in some cases it is.
Especially when you’re already lean and looking to build muscle.
If that’s you, this post workout shake recipe is NOT for you.
Here’s a link to a post workout shake that is better suited for your muscle building goals.
The difference with this post workout shake is that it’s specifically designed for overweight people who are following a low carb fat loss diet.
Here’s a shocker.
When you’re overweight and your goal is fat loss, carbohydrates are not as essential after your workout.
The reason is, with all that extra stored body fat, your glycogen levels are probably close to, or already at capacity.
When you have a fat loss goal, it’s more important to keep sugar consumption lower, as you want to turn your body into a fat burning machine.
This means you want to burn stored fat for energy, not sugar.
However, with all this said, it’s still very important to take a protein shake after your workout, that contains key nutrients to increase muscle protein synthesis.
Protein synthesis promotes muscle growth, muscle repair, and muscle recovery, to prevent further muscle breakdown caused by your workout.
Remember, since your goal is weight loss, it’s also super important to do whatever you can to maintain muscle while in a calorie deficit.
This is key because maintaining lean muscle is critical in building a fast and healthy metabolism.
Focus on losing weight from stored body fat, not weight from lean muscle.
The nutrients in the protein powder, the essential amino acid leucine, and the strength building creatine supplement will help build and maintain lean calorie crushing muscle, while burning off the stored body fat.
Recommended Supplements:
Another key thing with your post workout protein shake is maintaining hydration.
After a workout, your body can be depleted of water, therefore it’s important to drink lots of water after your workouts.
This post workout shake can help you increase your water consumption.
The other important thing for your post workout shake is to replenish your body with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
After a tough workout, your body is like a sponge that is looking to suck up a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and antioxidants to help speed up recovery.
The AG1 superfood cocktail and organic spinach will definitely help add more of these superfood nutrients to your diet.
With all that said, let’s get into the super powdered lean and green post workout shake for weight loss recipe.
This is going to be delicious.
