Whey protein has been studied a lot and has been shown to have a direct relevance to your hunger hormones in the gut! Whey increases the satiety initiating hormone (CCK or Cholecystokinin) which in turns signals your brain to stop eating. This wonder protein not only is rapidly digestible but also acts as a brilliant appetite suppressant, keeping you full for longer- Cravings making you miserable? Try whey.

Whey protein contains one of the most crucial BCAA- leucine, more than any other protein source. Other than helping with muscle-building, leucine also works to keep your appetite in check. When you consume leucine rich whey, it signals your brain that there is sufficient fuel in the body. This in turn encourages the feeling of satiety thus helping you feel full saving you from overeating.

It keeps your blood glucose levels in check. Following a meal, there is a noticeable hike in blood glucose. And to pack away this glucose into cells, body releases insulin thus brings down your glucose levels again. This quick hike in the blood glucose and the consequent effect of insulin leaves you feeling hungry after a while. This is when most tragedies called cravings strike.

So, when you take whey protein it helps to curb this response, ultimately maintaining a stable blood glucose level and keeping you happy and full for longer.
