The P40 Meal Replacement is a specialised type of supplement designed to be of assistance in weight loss programmes. Too often people try to lose weight by skipping meals. The effect of this is that our metabolisms slow down and our bodies will burn less fat, not more. It is widely accepted that to lose weight we need to eat small meals several times a day. This ensures we get enough quality nutrition and prevents our levels of fat increasing. If, on the other hand, we snack on low quality junk food we will gain rather than lose weight. The key is to keep eating small, healthy meals throughout the day. This is where the P40 comes in. Each 60 gram serving contains a carefully balanced mix of protein, carbohydrate, vitamins and essential fatty acids. The objective of the mix is to control both the type and number of calories to avoid over eating or snacking on junk food. Research from the British Diabetics Association shows that meal replacements are a good option for those who like a simple approach to weight loss and don’t want to have to think about planning or preparing individual meals. The P40 is specifically tailored for those who struggle to control their food intake and who will benefit from a convenient, calorie controlled meal. The P40 is also good for people who need to lose weight but have difficulty controlling meal or portion sizes. While Meal Replacements do contain high levels of protein, they are quite different from straight whey powders in that they also include vitamins, minerals and low levels of sugars and fats. The idea is to provide just enough nutrients to satisfy the hunger and keep the metabolism moving but not so many calories that more weight is gained. Each serving of the P40 is 60grams which is 4 scoops. As the name P40 suggests, each 60 gram serving contains 40 grams of protein. Protein is crucial to weight control as it assists the maintenance of lean muscle mass, satisfies the appetite and is unlikely to be stored as fat. The levels of carbohydrate in the P40 are quite moderate and there are low levels of sugar - just 3 grams per serving. The rest of the carbohydrates are mostly complex carbs because these require more energy to digest than sugars and are therefore less likely to be stored as fat. They are also released into the body more slowly, providing a steady supply of energy over a longer period. Fats are also carefully controlled. Musashi specifically adds so called “good” fats such as Linoleic Acid and Medium Train Triglycerides. The benefits of these include reducing the risk of heart disease, lowering blood pressure, improving immunity and joint function, and speeding up the metabolism. While the primary use of this product is by people who want to lose weight, it is also popular with people who are not over weight but who like the convenience of a carefully balanced serving of all the major food groups. It sells equally well to both men and women and is also very popular with busy people who lack the time to stop for a quick meal when traveling. I always take some away with me when I leave town for the weekend. Like all Musashi protein powders, the P40 is fully instantised for easy mixing. Customers who take this product should feel quite full and notice they are not so hungry. An ideal time to take it is in the middle of the afternoon or late at night when many people are tempted to snack on unhealthy food.
