Liquid Diet: Easier Weight Loss or Gain
Because we make liquid food products, we get a lot of questions about liquid diets. And one of the questions we get a lot is, "Can Plenny Shake help me lose weight?"
We could give a quick and clever answer, but the truth is, there are a few things to consider. So we sat down to write a proper answer that will hopefully give you the information you need, in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Because simple and easy is what we are about.
Liquid diet shakes for weight loss
One of the key aspects of weight loss is making sure you're consuming carbs, fat, protein, and fiber in the right proportions. Too many carbs means more than your body can use, and your body will store the excess energy as fat. Too much protein, and your body won't be able to absorb it easily and use it to build muscle (which helps you burn fat).
So how can liquid meal replacements like Plenny Shake help?
- Plenny Shake contains the recommended daily amount of protein and fiber. Protein and fiber keep you fuller for longer than carbohydrates.
- When consuming carbs, you also need protein and fiber along with them to prevent a sudden spike in insulin levels. High insulin levels cause you to store fat instead of losing it. And that is definitely something you don't want when you are on a weight loss regime.
- The calorie count you need to lose weight varies for everyone, depending on their body mass and lifestyle. For example, a couch potato and an athlete will need different amounts of calories per day. Plenny Shake contains 200 kcal per 50 grams, or one scoop. This level of precision makes it easy to monitor and track your calorie intake per meal, per day , and tailor it to your personal needs. No guesswork required.
Now, the other side of the coin. Can a liquid diet help you gain weight?
To help us answer this question, we consulted licensed dietitian Dascha Willemsen. The answer: Yes! Plenny Shake can definitely help you gain weight if you need it.
Why would weight gain be good?
- Underweight people, such as those recovering from an eating disorder, need to gain weight in the easiest, healthiest, and most balanced way possible.
- People who have difficulty chewing, for example after surgery or because of a broken jaw, also need to maintain or gain weight while they are unable to chew or digest solid foods.
- Or maybe you think you look better with more meat and muscle on your bones.
Extra calories and nutrients with Plenny Shake
Plenny Shake makes it easy to gain weight in a healthy way, giving you a balanced amount of carbs, fat, protein, and fiber with minimal time and effort. You no longer have to spend hours preparing large batches of food or sit down to a painfully long meal to get the extra calories you need to bulk up.
Simply measure, shake and drink for a nutritionally complete, calorie-dense meal in minutes. You'll also stay fuller for longer thanks to the protein and fiber that help you avoid insulin spikes.
Won't oatmeal shakes give me the same results?
Not exactly. Plain oatmeal shakes are high in carbohydrates in proportion to the protein and fiber your body needs. Eating a lot of fat or carbs will also help you gain weight, but you'll find that most of the mass you gain will be fat. Not to mention that oatmeal on its own isn't exactly the most exciting flavor.
