Plant Based Protein to Lose Weight and Build Muscle

By Eric Shwartz


I recently started lifting weights and suddenly hit a huge wall. I became so incredibly sore the day after my workouts that I had to take 2 days off in between each session. I was training hard but forgetting one key component to muscle recovery- protein. As a vegetarian, I did not know where to turn. All of the protein supplements on the market contained whey- an animal based protein that my diet does not allow and soy- a questionably GMO ingredient that can cause a host of unwanted side effects. Luckily, I have a great trainer who recommended plant based protein.

Vegetarian protein supplements generally contain a mix plant based protein sources such as mushroom, hemp, brown rice, pea, and even cranberry. These protein sources are easily digested and perfect for post workout muscle recovery. Many plant protein powders are even enhanced with beneficial enzymes and probiotics that increase digestibility even further.

People supplement their diets with plant based protein to increase energy and endurance, build and maintain lean muscle mass, and increase overall health. Many vegetarian protein blends are enhanced with enzymes and probiotics that work to improve the digestive system. All of these health benefits contribute to natural weight loss.

Vegetarian protein powders should include raw and organic plant based protein sources such as hemp, cranberry, pea, mushroom, and/or brown rice. It is beneficial when vegetarian protein powders are enhanced with digestive enzymes and probiotics. The faster your body can utilize the protein after a workout, the less time your muscles will take to recover.

Vegetarian protein powders should never contain fillers, flow agents, sugars, caffeine, stimulants, or anything else artificial. Chemical and synthetic ingredients are entirely unnecessary and are likely to cause more harm than good. The best protein powders will be raw and certified organic.

And there you have it- straight from the source. A vegetarian weight lifter telling you that the best way to increase performance and decrease recovery time is supplementation with plant based protein. Simple follow the guidelines provided by this essay and you will find a perfect plant protein in no time!
