How Does Whey Protein Affect Weight
                     How Does Whey Protein Affect Weight
• Before going into the details of the answer, let me talk a little about 
whey protein. Whey protein is obtained from milk and is said to 
contain 9 essential amino acids. Whey protein and casein are the two 
proteins found in milk. Casein digests slowly in the body when 
compared to whey protein.
Types of Whey Proteins 
• Whey Concentrate: It is formed when liquid whey undergoes 
microfiltration. It consists of 70-80% protein and is cheaper compared 
to the other types. 
• Whey Isolate: It is formed when whey concentrate undergoes further 
processing. It has 90% protein. It is costlier than concentrate. It has 
relatively lesser amounts of fats and sugar in it than concentrate.
• Whey Hydrolysate: When the isolate is processed, then whey 
hydrolysate is formed. This is the costliest type since it is highly 
processed and in pre-digested form. It is easy for the body to absorb. 

Does whey protein make you 
gain weight? 
Whey protein can make you gain muscle. This is why it is widely used by 
people who want to visit the gym as well as by athletes. If you have 
whey protein powder in milk, you can put on weight since milk contains 
fat. If you have whey protein powder in water, it can help you develop 
lean muscle. Some protein powders add additives like sugar, and 
vegetable oil and fat, which might cause you to put on weight. But 
there are other options where these things are not added. If you are 
going in for flavoured protein powders, then I suggest you avoid 
artificial sweeteners like Ace-K, Sucralose, etc. It is best to go with 
unflavoured ones as they have less additives and chemicals.
