Which Protein Powder is best for me ?

Looking along the shelves at Nutrition Warehouse (or online) you can’t help wondering if you are getting the right protein powder. There is a lot to choose from. But if you shop with your physique goal in mind then things are a lot easier.

Let’s look at three possible scenarios – General Health, Weight Loss (and toning) and Lean Muscle gain (figure competition or bodybuilding)

1. General Health – Lean Whey Protein.

The scientific population is just catching on to what bodybuilders have known all along – whey protein is good for you. In fact it goes further; way back to 420 B.C. when Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine”, recommended whey for its health giving properties.

Whey protein is nature’s richest source of biologically available protein. That means you get the full benefit of what you take. For example you might eat a steak and absorb and assimilate 80% of the protein. With whey protein you get the full 100%, plus the convenience of no cooking or washing up!

The beauty of whey protein lies in its amino acid content. Certain amino acids in whey are used for important biological functions such as:

Ø  Supporting immune function

Ø  Decreasing the signs of aging

Ø  Liver detoxification

Also one 40 gram serve of 100% Lean Whey provides 220mg of calcium, an important mineral for healthy bones, one quarter on an adults recommended daily intake.

100% Lean Whey can be used in between meals in place of a carbohydrate snack or blended with antioxidant rich berries for a health giving smoothie. And best of all 100% Lean Whey mixes easily and tastes great just with water.

2. Weight Loss and Toning – Lipo Fyre.

To reach your weightloss goals you have to overcome food cravings. No secret there! But did you know that whey protein can help. Scientists have discovered that protein (in particular whey protein as found in Lipo Fyre) can help suppress appetite. Whey protein increases the secretion of an appetite controlling hormone called cholecystokinin (CCK). CCK acts on a part of the brain that regulates that feeling of fullness you get from a meal and prevents overeating.

           

Lipo Fyre also has the added benefit of Hydroxy Citric Acid (HCA), Phaseolus Vulgaris and Forskolin; three key ingredients to aid you in controlling your appetite and losing body fat. In fact Lipo Fyre is so good that I recommend it to women who are dieting to compete in a Figure competition or bodybuilding.

3. Lean Muscle Gain (figure competition or bodybuilding)

Gone are the days of “bulking up” and cutting down for competition. People want to look good all year round. In fact a lot of competitors take advantage of their physique year round by modelling, appearing in T.V. ads and sponsors advertorials. And in order to stay lean and good lookin” you need to increase your protein intake and reduce those starchy carbohydrates.

In conjunction with 100% Lean Whey you should be taking 100% Pure BCAA’s before and after cardio workouts and before weight training to preserve lean muscle mass. And on workout days follow your workout with a serve of Genetix Nutrition Full Force.

                         

Full Force provides a generous 35 gram serving of whey protein as well as creatine monohydrate and simple sugars to aid in muscle growth and recovery. Full force also mixes well on water and has a great fruity taste making it easy to drink after a butt kicking workout (unlike some heavy milk based drinks).
