admin — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 07:56:12 +0000

I am 13. I am not a body builder but I won’t to be able to make a natural protein shake that keeps me healthier than I already am. And what I mean by natural is like without the whey protein powder stuff, like make it with natural, house-hold items. Like examples of that would be like milk, fruits, and stuff like that. And if I can make this, then how many times a day should I drink it?

Thanks! =Þ

I make them for my kids without the protein powders (and sometimes with – depending on what they’re eating that day and their activities that day), though sometimes with milk or soy milk instead. As for how many times a day, it really depends on which shake recipe you use and what the rest of your diet is like. If you’ve got a good well balanced diet and you’re not training heavily, there isn’t really a ‘need’ to have your food as a protein shake – its just sometimes convenient or sometimes a tasty treat instead of junk food.

When purchasing any weight loss product, it is important to do your research. Many people are exchanging their opinions about SlimScript on DietBlogTalk.com

Overview

Diet shakes seem almost as old as dieting itself—few people who’ve tried to lose weight have not encountered a weight loss shake powder of one kind or another. The makers of SlimScript claim their product is a bit different than the shakes that have come before it because of its supposed good taste, high calcium, and low carb formula. Yet a look into the ingredients reveals SlimScript is like most other diet shakes: low calorie, few flavors, and not quite a worthy substitute for actual food.

Ingredients at a Glance

SlimScript shake mixes contain whey protein, soy protein, fiber, and a daily dose of several vitamins and minerals.

Ingredients in Focus

Soy and whey protein are the most common types of protein found in natural supplements. Whey protein is taken from whey (the liquid that separates from curds in cheese making) and is very easily absorbed by the body. The main drawback of soy is the amount of phyto-estrogen it contains, which can unbalance the dieter’s hormones. Fiber is an essential part of any diet as it fortifies the heart and improves digestion. While these ingredients are all nourishing they are not able to speed metabolism or suppress the appetite.

Positives

• Includes a generous helping of necessary nutrients

Negatives

• No testimonials at this time

• Available in only three flavors

• Must be mixed with milk before consuming

• Expensive compared to similar diet shakes

Final Thoughts

At only 120 calories each, SlimScript shakes can hardly be considered a replacement for a meal. Though you may need to regulate the amount of calories you take in, most individuals will not need to make such a drastic cutback. There are a number of ways to reduce calories without spending money on or having to mix up specially made shakes. By eating meals that are well-balanced and fresh, and getting exercise nearly every day, you will quickly see the benefits of implementing your own weight loss program. Once you are on the path to dieting success you can decide which products will best support the program you have in place.

Is plant protein powder the same as whey protein powder?

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 14:06:32 +0000

I am starting a diet on Monday that says to drink smoothies of plant protein mixed with fruit twice a day. All I could find at the local store (without going to a health food store and spending a fortune) was whey protein powder. Are these the same thing? Can I interchange them for my diet? Are there any drastic differences that I should be worried about?

Typically whey protein will be a higher concentration of protein and will have less carbs. It will also be more complete in Amino Acid profile and is usually considered the most easy to digest. I would suggest using the whey if you are OK with milk products. If you can drink milk with no problems like allergies or intolerance then you will probably do well with whey protein.

I hear your cost concerns. Seems like so many of those "health food stores" are total rip offs! Try www.buybulkwhey.com as they have some great prices on whey protein and their quality and flavors are good. Also they have some smoothie recipes on their blog.

Experience One of the Healthiest Whey Protein Supplement With Aminogen

What is Whey? How it can help you improve your health and boost your immune system?

Whey is found in yogurt — it is the clear liquid that appears on the surface of the yogurt once you open the container. However, I don’t generally recommend yogurt because the heat the pasteurization process can destroy so many beneficial nutrients.

When liquid whey dries into powdered whey, the nutrients become concentrated in the powder due to the liquid removal.

Can I uses 2% reduced fat milk mix with whey protein powder?

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:21:09 +0000

I brought a gallon of 2% reduced fat milk and I don’t want to waste it. So is it ok to use 2% reduced fat milk with whey protein powder. I heard a lot of people say, it will be best if you uses skim milk or non fat milk.

I love 2% milk with an all natural chemical free whey protein. I prefer the 2%, as it is not as watery:) You will be fine.

How much is one scoop of whey protein powder?

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:36:27 +0000

I just bought ON 100% Whey Protein yesterday. The label says to take "one scoop" per serving. I’m not sure how much exactly one scoop is. The jar didn’t include a scoop either. I dug deep into the jar and even poured out all the powder. Still nothing. I would highly appreciate if I can get some reasonable answers. Thank you.
Thanks. But what would that one scoop be equal to? How many tablespoons/teaspoons?

If you are using a tablespoon, use two tablespoons:) Also, make sure you are consuming a high quality chemical free whey protein minus the fillers and additives.

how much whey protein powder should I have after my workout?

admin — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 23:12:18 +0000

I weigh 230lbs, and am starting to take some whey protein drink to help built muscles and lose weight. How much should I consume daily?

Most people in the fitness community will tell you to consume between 1/2 to 1 gram of protein for each pound of lean body mass (your weight minus your fat) per day. I average about 3/4 and I train almost daily. If you’re body building (and it doesn’t sound like you are), some people take as much as 2g/lb per day.

For an after-workout shake, I’d recommend 25–40 grams. I usually take about 30 grams. My lean body mass is about 150 lbs.

By the way, I recommend you check out the Zone Diet, which I have found to be very effective at building muscle and losing fat when coupled with regular exercise.

How long will Whey protein powder and Soy Milk last?

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:05:23 +0000

So I mix protein powder with some soy milk, and pour it in a bottle. I’ll have to drink it after practice, which will make it about 5 hours unrefrigerated. Will it spoil?

5 hours unrefrigerated should not be a problem. I used to carry it in a "Tupperware" tumbler – pack it at 8 a.m. in the morning and drink it around 1 p.m. It was not refrigerated. It does taste good. Beyond 6 hours, I have my own doubts. It could get spoiled.
