PROTEIN is the element that builds and repairs muscle, so if you are interested in building muscle, then a high protein diet is essential. I know eating every 2-3 hours can become tiresome and boring, this is the reason I am such a big believer in PROTEIN powders, now not all protein powders are created equal. All the scientific and my personal experience have shown that Ion-exchanged WHEY PROTEIN is the most effective PROTEIN. There are a couple of reasons why WHEY PROTEIN is the number one choice for top class athletes, the WHEY PROTEIN has a superior biological value, in plain English this means that the WHEY PROTEIN has more usable grams of amino acids than regular PROTEIN powders, also WHEY PROTEIN is also very low in lactose. Another benefit of the WHEY is that it has a higher concentration of the essential amino acids, in some cases this can be up to approx. 50% more, and it gets even better as half of these amino acids are BCAA's (Branch Chain Amino Acids) these 3 amino acids are the major source of the muscle preserving amino acids. So they play a very big part in helping to prevent muscle breakdown and speed up the recovery process. Also be sure to look at the amount of Carbohydrates that are included in the PROTEIN you use, as a lot of companies will throw extra simple sugars in the mix to improve the taste, but mainly to dilute the PROTEIN as pure WHEY PROTEIN is the most expensive type to produce.

WHAT DOES IT DO

- Builds muscle
- Repairs muscle
- Helps stimulate metabolism
- Is broken down & converted to Amino acids

BEST WAY TO TAKE IT

WHEY PROTEIN powder can be easily mixed with any type of liquid, because of the quality of the WHEY PROTEIN it will easily be mixed and easily digested, if you are in the off season or in lean condition or looking to increase the calories, you can mix it with milk, non fat is your best choice, you can also mix it with Juice, this is generally mixed with Vanilla, as a chocolate fruit drink doesn't sound to appetizing to me. If you are pre comp or looking to loose body fat, mixing it with water is your best choice, If you go with the water, I would mix it in a blender & add ice as this will improve the taste, I personally just mix it in a hand shaker & drink it straight down, though this is not the most enjoyable way to have it. It does get the job done however.

DOSAGE

There is a lot of talk as to how much PROTEIN one should be digesting. I am a big believer in having protein with each meal; I personally look to get in at least 60g of PROTEIN with each meal. This is quite high when you follow the general rule of PROTEIN consumption, I suggest starting your PROTEIN levels at approx. 30g per meal and slowly increase it from there. The best way to tell if you are ingesting to much PROTEIN to fast is the symptoms of, either getting an itchy butt, as the undigested PROTEIN seems to irritate your butt, another possible side effect is that you will get the runs. If you do encounter any of these side effects simply lower your dosage for a week or so & then slowly increase them again. Woman do not require as much PROTEIN, as men, mainly because of the fact that they are smaller & hold less muscle, I would be looking to get in any where from 20 to 35g of PROTEIN per meal.

When should you be using the WHEY PROTEIN, I carry my WHEY every where I go, whenever I am short of time or not hungry & have to eat, I reach for my trusty WHEY PROTEIN, mix up a few scoops & drink it straight down. I suggest having your PROTEIN shakes, mid morning & mid afternoon between meals, another good time to have the protein is prior to going to bed, this will benefit you in a couple of ways, it will stop late night hunger pains as well as ensure that your body is being feed additional amounts of muscle building PROTEIN while you sleep.
