As obesity rates continue to rise in US, studies like these continue to gain in importance. As child develops, potential health risks may be prevented through early awareness and lifestyle management. How this may impact cardiovascular disease and Type II Diabetes rates will likely require many years to measure.

Of course, all of these recommendations should be factored in with education and support for improved lifestyle and diet. Given pressures of youth, it is important to not stigmatize a child and foster eating problems and poor self-image where body mass problems may have been associated more simply with poor, and uneducated, dietary choices and insufficient physical activity.

On other hand Whey protein is not ideal as a meal replacement or diet shake. This is because as we noted earlier whey is absorbed into your body quickly, this means that it will not keep you full for very long and that it may be stored as fat (thought not much it's still quite low calorie) if you body doesn't need to use it. A more suitable protein in such a situation would be a slow digesting one such as casein.
