Whey Protein

Increase Your Protein Intake
Fast and Easy with Whey Protein



whey protein


Whey protein powder provides many benefits to the weight lifter who is trying to build muscle and lose fat. If you currently do not use whey protien powder, or if you're looking for recommendations on what to buy, you'll find this page very helpful!


Let's take a look at some of the advantages whey powder provides for building muscle and losing fat. Whey powder is a must have for weight lifters.


WoW
Words of Wisdom

"Whey protein powder is a must have for pre and post workout. It's a fast source of protein that gets the muscle building process started sooner. You will build more muscle using whey powder immediately post workout mixed with a simple carb source.

I recommend waxy maize as the simple carb source, and mixed at a 4:1 ratio with your whey protien. Take your whey mixed with waxy maize immediately post workout. If you don't have waxy maize yet, use dextrose, maltodextrin, or a combination of the two." --Josh


Advantages of Whey Protein Powder

I want you to realize before we go any further that whey protien is nothing spectacular compared to other sources of protein.

Whey powder does have some advantages over whole food sources of protein, and I will go over these advantages, but I don't want you to think that protein powder is going to turn you into the Hulk overnight because it won't.


There is nothing magical out there in the world of weight lifting and supplements. Steroids are the only thing close and they are unsafe and illegal for good reasons.

Whey is one of the best weight lifting supplements available and it is definitely not magical. Make sure you realize that great muscle building and fat loss results are a combination of a good weight lifting, diet, and cardiovascular program!


#1. Whey Protein provides convenience in your busy world!

Whey protien allows you to easily increase your daily intake of protein. It is very important that you increase your daily intake of protein if you are looking to build strength, build muscle, and lose fat.

I recommend protein intakes as high as two times your body weight per day. Many people think this is much too high and the extra protein isn't needed, but I have the results to prove those people wrong.

Do your own experiment and tell me the increased protein intake didn't help you build more muscle.

Simply start with lower intakes and increase. And watch the difference in results. I've seen success too many times with higher protein intakes to ignore.

When you attempt to eat 2 times your body weight in protein, you'll find it tough to eat that much whole food per day. Well, protein powder can easily help you to reach that goal. In less than a minute, you can fix yourself a protein shake and have 50 grams of quality protein down the hatch!

If you have a busy life, you'll appreciate the convenience and quickness that whey protien provides.


#2. Whey Protien provides a different taste!

If you've tried gaining weight or gaining muscle mass before, you'll find out that you need to eat lots and lots of food. You will get tired of eating chicken breast and tuna all day, every day. You'll look forward to getting a quick meal consisting of liquids that you can easily drink.

When you are dieting hard for fat loss, whey protein provides a meal that tastes great. You'll think you're having dessert. If you get the right flavor and brand, you'll look forward to drinking those protien shakes.

My wife actually looks forward to her protein shakes because she loves the taste of chocolate. It took me years to get her to try a protein shake, and now she loves it.

The taste of whey shakes have come a long way. They no longer taste nasty! Most brands have great flavors. I'll give you some of them on down the page...


#3. Whey Protein is one of the cheapest forms of Protein!

If you do some calculations, you'll find that whey powder is actually one of the cheapest forms of protein available! Many weight lifters and fitness enthusiasts never realize this. You can actually save tons of dollars per month by using whey protien powder.


The only food that compares in price to whey powder is the canned tuna. Let's do a quick price comparison between canned tuna and whey powder.


5 pound container of whey
1700 grams of protein
4.5 oz can of tuna
34 grams of protein
Cost per gram = 2.35 cents Cost per gram = 2.32 cents


As you can see, canned tuna is slightly cheaper per gram, but whey protein is much easier to eat and much quicker. It's also easier to just drink down than trying to choke down the fishy tasting canned tuna.


I would much rather drink some chocolate protein than try to eat a nasty can of tuna. It's your choice, though!


#4. Whey is a fast acting source of protein

Whey protien also provides another advantage that whole food proteins can't! Before and after your weight lifting workout, you need a fast acting protein source that gets to your muscle faster.


You want to start the muscle building process as soon as possible and take advantage of the window of opportunity that a workout gives you.


With Whey -- It's much easier to get the needed nutrients for muscle building to your muscles after a workout. You don't want to miss this opportunity by feeding your body a very slow source of protein that takes too much time to digest.


Whey gives you a fast acting source of protein that starts the muscle building process and gives your body the nutrients it needs to build muscle. Combine whey with a fast acting carb post workout to spike your insulin and store even more of the nutrients your body needs to build muscle!
