Myprotein Vegan Diet Blend and Impact Diet Whey: Lose the Fat, Keep the Muscle!

When people say they want to lose weight, what they really mean is lose fat. It’s a small but important distinction in the pursuit of achieving the physique you’re aiming for. If you just lose weight, that could consist of a mixture of muscle, fat, and water. In order to be lean, fit, and muscular, your goal should be to maximize fat loss while minimizing muscle loss.

Two advanced formulas to maximize fat loss and retain lean muscle mass!

Even though there are countless fat burners on the market, they don’t address one of the root causes of weight gain: lack of satiety due to low protein diet. And one of the most underrated supplements that can actually help you achieve a better body composition is protein powder, simply due to what’s known as “protein leverage”.^[1] Not that there’s anything magical about protein powders, but if you struggle to get in enough protein for the day then, they can really make a difference in preventing overeating.

Most don’t understand that part — not only does a high protein intake support muscle growth, it also helps suppress appetite and has the highest thermic effect out of all three macronutrients.^[2] This means your body burns more calories breaking down protein than carbs or fat, and some actually consider protein to be three calories per gram due to the additional work required. It may only make up a small percentage of your caloric expenditure for the day, but when you’re trying everything you can to lose the last bit of fat, an upward shift in protein intake – especially before eating other foods – can really make a difference!

Although you don’t see very many protein powders marketed as “weight loss” products, they are extremely helpful. And with a few added ingredients, it’s a great supplement to aid your journey towards a more healthy body composition.

But perhaps there are a few extra things we can add to protein powder to make it closer to nutrient-dense food…

Introducing Myprotein’s Protein Diet Series

We can’t think of a better company than Myprotein to produce a product line that contains a high quality source of protein, along with a few simple, yet effective, ingredients to maximize fat loss. Especially for those who aren’t eating diets that are high enough in protein in the first place!

Hit your daily protein target with the help of Myprotein’s robust line of products!

Myprotein knew that there was a large group of people that would benefit from a well-formulated protein powder geared towards fat loss, so they made it happen with, what we’re calling, their Protein Diet series.

The new subcategory features both Vegan Diet Blend and Impact Diet Whey. The long story short is that these are protein powders that include some L-carnitine, green tea extract, CLA (only in the whey), evodiamine, fiber, probiotics, and digestive enzymes to assist you and your gut in your weight loss journey.

Having two options allows you to enjoy the benefits of this methodology regardless of what diet you prefer! But if you’re just looking for a protein powder that doesn’t have any extra ingredients, then don’t worry, because Myprotein still has the biggest selection of protein we’ve ever seen.

In this post, we’re going to discuss the key ingredients, features, and benefits of Myprotein’s Vegan Diet Blend and Impact Diet Whey to help you understand what makes them stand out. Myprotein is just getting started with new product and flavor releases, so make sure to sign up for PricePlow’s Myprotein news and deal alerts to stay up to date with all they have planned!

Vegan Diet Blend and Impact Diet Whey Macronutrients

Despite having different protein sources, these two products have virtually the same additional ingredients and macronutrients/calories.

The first thing we’re going to discuss is their macronutrient profiles, since that’s what’s most important with dieting. If you’re not in a caloric deficit, then don’t expect to lose any weight, and if you’re not getting enough protein, don’t expect great body composition achievements. So let’s see how both of these products stack up!

Vegan Diet Blend’s Macronutrients

7g of fiber and 20g of protein will keep you full for hours!

One serving of Vegan Diet Blend is roughly 32g per scoop and delivers:

• Calories: 110

• Protein: 20g

• Carbs: 8g

• Fiber: 7g

• Sugar: 0g

• Fat: 0g

Overall, those are some very solid macronutrients for a plant-based protein powder, especially when your calories are getting quite low. It’s a convenient way to ensure you’re hitting your daily protein intake, while not taking up too much carbs or fats. Plus, as you’ll see, despite being a bit higher in calories, the Vegan Diet Blend has 7g of fiber to help suppress your appetite,^[3] while the Impact Diet Whey does not.

No matter what, plant-based proteins always have a higher carb content then dairy ones, so at least the majority of the carbs are fiber! With 20g of protein, zero grams of fat and sugar, this is a real winner in our opinion – if you can handle the dairy! Plus Myprotein knows how to flavor a protein powder, which will help crush your cravings too.

Now let’s see what the dairy alternative has to offer.

Impact Diet Whey’s Macronutrients

Impact Diet Whey’s macronutrients are lean, clean, and ready to help you achieve your goals!

One serving of Impact Diet Whey is around 25.6g and provides:

• Calories: 90

• Protein: 20g

• Carbs: 3g

• Fiber: 0g

• Sugars: 0g

• Fat: 0g

The proof is in the labels, Impact Diet Whey is 20 calories less than the Vegan Diet Blend and that’s because it has nearly half the carbs. However, in the grand scheme of things, a few carbs really isn’t too big of an issue, even for low-carb dieters. If you’re just trying to lose a few pounds, or maybe you digest plant proteins better, then by all means go for that. But if you don’t have a problem with whey and want to spare every calorie you can then, look no further than Impact Diet Whey!

Both are incredibly clean and lean, so it’s nice to see Myprotein offering two different options for people to pick from. Over the years, they’ve really lived up to their name and we like seeing them push the industry towards creating more innovative protein products.

Vegan Diet Blend and Impact Diet Whey Ingredients

Alright, so now you know how these two proteins stack up on a calorie and macronutrient basis, but that’s not really what makes them a product geared towards dieting. It’s all about the ingredients!

Although they have some similarities, there are a few key differences between Vegan Diet Blend and Impact Diet Whey that may sway your decision on which one is best for you. Therefore, we’re first going to do a quick overview of each one’s ingredients, and then dive into some research on why Myprotein chose to throw in some extras to help burn fat!

• Vegan Diet Blend Ingredient Overview:

  • • Protein Source:

      • Combination of Pea Protein Isolate and Brown Rice Protein

  •

Key Differences Between Impact Diet Whey and Vegan Diet Blend

• Protein Sources

  

  If you prefer a plant-based diet, Myprotein has you covered with Vegan Diet Blend!

  The most obvious difference between these two products are the protein sources (pea and brown rice protein vs whey protein isolate), however both are very high quality and do a great job at providing enough essential amino acids to fuel muscle protein synthesis,^[4-5] thus helping you keep your gains as you lose the fat.

  Like we mentioned, protein has a high satiety index, which keeps you fuller for longer.^[2] And it has the highest thermic effect out of all the other macronutrients, making your body work harder to break it down, resulting in greater caloric expenditure.^[2] Although protein is very important, that’s not going to be the main focus here.

• Fat Burning Extras

  As you can see from the list: both products contain L-Carnitine L-Tartrate, Green Tea Extract, and Evodiamine, which are all ingredients that were added to improve fat oxidation. But Impact Diet Whey also has CLA, and that’s another ingredient that is a healthy fatty acid that may further help you lose some fat if you’re deficient. All of these additions will be discussed further later on, so keep reading!

• Probiotics and Digestive Enzymes

  We already noted in the macronutrient section, that Vegan Diet Blend has a generous dose of fiber, and from the label you can tell that’s coming from inulin. Furthermore, both contain Ganeden BC30 Probiotic (Bacillus Coagulans) to help keep your gut running smoothly.

  

  DigeZyme is a Multi Enzyme Complex formulated by a leading ingredient supplier in the industry, Sabinsa Corp.

  They also both contain digestive enzymes, however, and Vegan Diet Blend has a more complete profile with the addition of DigeZyme. It’s a blend of α-amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase, and lactase, which all help breakdown various nutrients, such as starch, protein, fats, cellulose, and lactose, respectively. This makes sense, considering it’s a plant based protein powder with more carbs than the dairy alternative.

  Impact Diet Whey only contains papain and bromelain as its digestive enzymes. But it is a whey protein isolate, meaning it’s at minimum 90% pure protein, which is why there’s very little carbs, fats, sugars, or lactose. Therefore, you really shouldn’t have an issue with digesting Impact Diet Whey.

• Other Ingredients

  In order to make these proteins taste like a chocolate or vanilla milkshake we all love, they must add in a few ingredients like sweeteners, thickening agents, and flavors to make that happen.

  

  Myprotein has released a huge array of vegan protein flavors, including Tiramisu!

  Vegan Diet Blend is naturally flavored and sweetened with stevia leaf extract, but it also contains xanthan gum and guar gum to improve the consistency and add thickness. Because no one likes a gritty plant protein shake! Impact Diet Whey is naturally and artificially flavored and sweetened with a combination of sucralose and ace-k. But it does not contain any thickening agents.

  From an ingredient perspective you can see how these two products vary slightly, but now we’re going to explain why Myprotein added in L-Carnitine L-Tartrate, Green Tea Extract, Evodiamine, and CLA to this protein diet series. It’s important to note that they don’t list the specific dosages on the nutrition facts label, but if you go to Myprotein’s website, some are included in the “Why Choose” section on the product’s main page. So don’t think we just made up these numbers!

Four Key Ingredients To Speed Up Fat Loss

• L-Carnitine L-Tartrate – 150mg

  

  Myprotein Impact Diet Whey was formulated with high quality protein powder and a few extras to put your body in the most optimal state to burn fat!

  Carnitine is a very popular addition to fat burners and thermogenics, because of the role it plays in enabling fatty acid oxidation. On a physiological level, once fatty acids are released from adipose tissue, they are transported into cells by specific proteins to get used for energy production.

  But once the fatty acids get into the cell, they must be able to enter the mitochondria to undergo beta-oxidation. This is where carnitine steps in to save the day, because it shuttles the fatty acids into the mitochondria to be ‘burned’.^[6] Without carnitine there, the fatty acids would just be stuck and unusable, which is far from ideal. With fat loss supplements, the main goal is to optimize your body’s ability to burn fat, and carnitine is a prime ingredient for that!

  Although, there are various forms of carnitine on the market, some research shows L-Carnitine L-Tartrate may have slightly better absorption and be able to express its effects quicker.^[7] In addition to carnitine’s fat burning potential — it’s also been shown to have other benefits such as enhancing insulin sensitivity, lowering blood glucose, and reducing muscle damage from resistance training.^[8-9]

  This ingredient is most important for those who are deficient, namely vegans and vegetarians. In those cases, we’d argue that you want even more – up to 2g per day supplementally!

• Green Tea Extract – 50mg

  Green Tea Extract’s benefits go far beyond fat loss, as it’s traditionally been used to treat several medical conditions. Research shows that it expresses anti-inflammatory, antiarthritic, antibacterial, antiangiogenic, antioxidative, antiviral, neuroprotective, and cholesterol-lowering effects.^[10]

  Green tea contains several essential vitamins, minerals, and has a small amount of caffeine that may give you a bump in energy. Having more energy can of course help you lose fat, but the main component of green tea that provides the most fat burning benefits are its polyphenol and catechin content.

  Although green tea consists of several catechins, research shows epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the main bioactive constituent.^[10-11] Studies show EGCG is able to enhance fat oxidation, metabolic rate, and thermogenesis.^[11] All three of these effects help your body burn more calories during exercise and at rest, which get you the results you’re looking for musch faster!

• Evodiamine (dosage unknown)

  Evodiamine is the main alkaloid of a fruit known as Evodia rutaecarpa, which seems to express similar effects as capsaicin, a common ingredient used for weight loss.^[12] In chinese medicine evodia fruits are also referred to as a “hot nature” herb, however unlike capsaicin it does not have any spicy or peppery taste.^[12]

  Research shows evodiamine is able to help prevent fat accumulation through acting as a vanilloid receptor agonist. As a result, there’s an increase in lipolysis via the activation of brown adipose tissue and enhanced heat dissipation.^[12] This helps you burn even more fat, but by a different pathway than the other two ingredients we discussed.

• CLA – 100mg (in Impact Diet Whey only)

  The final ingredient we’re going to discuss is CLA, which stands from conjugated linoleic acid. Chances are if you’ve looked at weight loss products, CLA is bound to show up because it’s extremely popular in that category.

  

  Myprotein created Clear Whey Isolate and it’s unlike any other protein on the market!

  CLA is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that can be found in meat and dairy products. There have been multiple research studies showing it has positive effects on fat loss and body composition.^[13-16]

  Studies show that CLA promotes fat loss through increased energy expenditure and fatty acid oxidation.^[15-16] It works by acting as an antagonist of lipoprotein lipase (LPL). LPL is an enzyme responsible for fat storage, because it helps fat cells uptake fatty acids from the bloodstream.^[16] Therefore down regulation of LPL allows more fatty acid to stay in circulation to be burned for energy.

  But as we mentioned in the key difference between the two products, CLA is only included in Impact Diet Whey.

Available Flavors

Myprotein knows how to profile some incredible flavors regardless of what protein powder they’re working with. Whether it’s plant or dairy based, Myprotein can make it taste like a dessert, which can really help take care of cravings.

Impact Diet Whey Flavors

The Pre Workout and Impact Whey make the perfect combo for pre and post training!

Vegan Diet Blend Flavors

Just pick which flavor looks good to you and try it out! We’re confident that you won’t be disappointed, so far we haven’t been with the 2019/2020 American Launches.

Myprotein knows.. protein

Just based on their name, you know Myprotein prides themselves on offering a wide variety of protein powders to suit anyone’s needs. They’re always looking for ways to make innovative products that fill in the gaps left by the supplement industry. A prime example of that is Myprotein’s Clear Whey Isolate and Clear Vegan Isolate, their taste and consistency is like no other protein supplement on the market. And the reviews speak for themselves.

Two Innovative Protein Powders That Help You Lose Fat Fast

Every year Myprotein puts out high quality, innovative, protein-based products and snacks that are always a big hit. We were blown away with what they were able to do with Clear Whey Isolate and Clear Vegan Isolate, and it’s no surprise because protein powders are that they’re most known for!

Myprotein launched the Pro Range which features more premium products, yet at still amazing prices!

So we expect Impact Diet Whey and Vegan Diet Blend to be no different! Although they share similar traits, they each have their own unique features. But regardless of the minor differences, both will help you lose the fat, while keeping as much lean muscle as possible.

We’ve never really analyzed a product like this, however it’s truly a home run. Protein powders on their own help improve body composition by supporting muscle protein synthesis and being a very low calorie alternative to something like a milkshake. So it only makes sense to add in a few ingredients backed by research that further enhance your ability to burn fat. Don’t be surprised when other companies start putting out a similar product.

We fully expect Myprotein to keep coming out with more products, especially in their US division, so stay tuned because PricePlow has you covered! It was not too long ago that they finally landed in the US after dominating the UK market. They don’t nearly have the same amount of products on the US site as they do on the UK one, but that’s slowly changing. And if there’s one other thing Myprotein is known for, it’s insane deals that you definitely don’t want to miss!
