How do you keep lean muscle while losing fat?
Shaklee 180 Weight Loss Plan plan utilizes leucine- an essential amino acid that has been suggested by researchers to be the key to losing weight from fat while maintaining lean body muscle.
Studies have shown that leucine spares muscle proteins during weight loss so that you only lose the fat- not the muscle. Research shows that leucine can head straight to your muscles and initiate protein synthesis used for muscle building. Muscle building can counteract muscle breakdown which occurs from eating fewer calories. By keeping muscle you lose inches by burning fat. Muscle burns more calories than fat- thus, you keep your metabolism up!
