Protein Supplements


Want to get a kick out of life, add a little protein.

Protein Supplements are made up of building blocks called amino acids. Now our bodies can make about half of the 20 amino acids we need, so to get the rest we can do two things: eat very full and nutritious packed meals or supplement.

So how do we pick the right Protein for us. Well let us determine what you need it for. This step will ususally make it alot easier to make the correct choice.

If you want a protein to help you maintain a healthy diet then i would conclude that any protein will be beneficial for you. Now if you want a protein to gain weight, I would suggest a cheap concentrate that you can take 3 to 4 times a day.

Okay, now the good stuff, Muscle Building and Weight Loss.

Muscle building requires 1 gram of protein per lb of bodyweight. You don't eat, and you don't grow. Now on your workout days you should take a scoop in the am, before and after your workout, then before bedtime. In the am a whey or concentrate will do, beacuse it takes awhile to absorb into your system. Before your workout (60 min.), i suggest a whey; it will give you a bit of energy and feed your body. After your workout it is ISOLATE time. This protein assimulates in a matter of moments, it will make sure you do not waste any of your workout. Finally, a casien before bed, it will take 4-5 hours to absorb, and your body is doing all the healing while you sleep.

Weight Loss, well you need protein in your diet to build muscle, help you recover, and protect your immune system. But, big but here, the secret nobody tells you, is..... "the more muscle your body has, the more energy your body has to expend and the more calories you body needs to maintain the weight." There, now you know the weight loss secret all bodybuilders know. So here are some different type of protein.

These types can be broken up into whey protein , whey protein isolates, micellar casein protein, egg protein,and soy protein.

The reason they sell well is because they work. Now you can't beat a line that does that.
