Can whey protein reduce fat ?

[cyrax_101]

I was working out at the gym today and I just asked the trainer about whey protein (like the price and how much does he consume).
He asked whether I was interested in buying. I told him that I wanna reduce the amount of fat I have, then maybe I will consider getting it (I am a bit skeptical towards protein powders ).
He says that whey protein helps in reducing the fat from the body. I was taken aback by that coz as far as I have read forums or researched, it just gives you immediate protein. And the one he was talking about was just whey protein. No supplements.
How much of that is true ?

Could be true, as Taurine, one of the Amino Acids can help to burn Fat and another of the Aminos breaks down into a fat burning substance of sorts called Carnitine.

It also would do that by aloowing you to increase muscle mass, thereby increasing metabolic responses as muscle increase caloric burn, by around 45-50 calories per lb.

So it would have an indirect and maybe to some extent, direct effect on Fat levels.

The body requires more energy to digest protein than other foods (thermic effect) and as a result you burn more calories after a protein meal.
Whey protein isolate is pure protein with little to no fat or carbohydrates. It is a perfect complement to any low carbohydrate or low glycemic index diet plan.
