No we did not mix the two words around when writing the title. The product name really is Diet Protein and it is not the name of a diet that consists of protein. Diet Protein is a protein supplement shake that is meant to provide you with essential protein and fatty acids to recover from a workout along with antioxidants to keep your system healthy and other beneficial nutrients.
So how does it work? According to the makers of Diet Protein, Reflex Nutrition, the protein supplement is designed to “provide an unrivalled source of protein.” They also claim that Diet Protein can aid in weight loss up to 25%.
We decided to look further into what makes Diet Protein so special.
Under the Hood
Diet Protein focuses on many of the same ingredients you will find in a typical protein shake. The protein blend found in Diet Protein utilizes whey and milk protein consentrate which provide essential protein-synthesizing amino acids. These amino acids, such as glutamine have been shown to aid in post workout muscle repair.
Along with their protein blend, the makers of Diet Protein include other important active ingredients that have been shown to improve overall body function and health. Green tea and Conjugated Linoleic Acid are found in Diet Protein and have been tested and shown to reduce overall body fat. Green tea even has thermogenic properties when combined with caffeine, which allows for quicker and easier fat burning.
Reflex Nutrition raves about the flavor of Diet Protein. The protein supplement comes in three flavors: Banocoffee, Strawberry and Chocolate. They also claim that these flavors come from natural and artificial ingredients and contain very little sugar. This is a definite plus for dieters looking to lower their carbohydrate intake.
Pros
Because Diet Protein contains proven safe and effective ingredients, there is little risk to purchasing this supplement. Protein shakes are taking the workout market by storm because they have been shown to be effective.
The flavor selection of Diet Protein gives it an advantage because so many protein shakes are unbearable to take in. You have three flavors to choose from and chances are you will like one of them
Cons
Unfortunately, Diet Protein ships out of the UK which can cost a lot of money. One bag costs around 26 British Pounds which is close to $40.00. Add shipping to that amount and your paying a minimum of $50 for less than one month’s worth of powder.
What We Recommend
Unless you plan on visiting the UK anytime soon, you may want to look for something else. Diet Protein seems to be safe and effective but the overall cost would not be worth it to you.
