The Best Protein Powder Supplement and How to Utilize It

March 6, 2015 by Karl B Leave a Comment

The Best Protein Powder Supplement and How to Utilize It…

CLICK HERE to check out my favorite protein whey supplement on Amazon. It’s very effective, not at all expensive, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT’S SAFE!

A lot of people randomly buy protein powder and never question whether or not they’re consuming high-quality protein let alone a protein that’s safe.

In fact, a lot of people at my gym are still drinking Muscle Milk smoothies despite the fact Consumer Reports released an article in July 2010 stating how dangerous Muscle Milk truly is (it contains high levels of arsenic and lead—I wrote a separate article on these findings and you can read it BY CLICKING HERE).

If you’re interested in reading about the dangers of some protein whey supplements you can click the link above.

This article you’r currently reading centers on how to use protein whey as well as the protein whey supplement I use.

Let’s begin by outlining what we want in a protein supplement. First off, we don’t want excess sugar as it will keep you from getting lean. Sure—sugar makes things taste good but being healthy and looking and feeling awesome is much more important (the protein powder I use only has two grams of sugar per serving).

We don’t drink protein powder smoothies because they taste good—we drink protein powder smoothies to repair our muscles so we grow stronger and more defined!

Protein powders come in three different types: whey, soy and casein.

I prefer whey for a number of reasons including (but not limited to) the fact it’s a complete protein (meaning it contains the nine essential amino acids that are essential for dietary needs) as well as the most water-soluble protein (meaning it dissolves well in liquid).

Casein protein supplements are typically the most expensive as they work over the span of hours  as it’s time-released (many bodybuilders like to drink a glass of casein protein at bedtime) but for those who aren’t looking to become a huge bodybuilder, casein protein isn’t needed.

I don’t recommend soy protein; the reason being the phytoestrogens in soy protein mimics estrogen; too much estrogen can lead to increases in certain cancers.

Also, whey protein contains leucine which speeds and promotes muscle building after a workout. To sum it up, the British Journal of Nutrition said it best when reporting on whey protein, stating it contains: “…active components that are superior to amino acids for stimulating muscle protein synthesis and initiating translation.”

And to further prove my point that whey is better than soy I’ll finish by stating whey protein suppresses the appetite, fights free radical damage due to its anti-oxidant properties, and reduces the risk of diabetes, cancer and heart disease.

Moving on, many folks have heard the rule of consuming one gram of protein per pound of body weight. This statement is common knowledge in gyms and magazines across the globe.

But unless you’re striving for a bodybuilder physique, .7 grams per pound of body weight is more than enough. I suggest you strive for .5 to .7 grams per pound of body weight and distinguish on your own which is ideal for you.

In reality, if you’re eating a complete, healthy diet you’ll get the majority of your protein from eating actual food— for me personally, I consume two scoops of whey per day (one scoop a few hours prior to lifting weights and the second scoop within 30-45 minutes after completing my workout).

Also, it’s important to note the body can only break down five to nine grams of protein per hour and any unused protein that isn’t burned for energy is merely converted to fat or simply excreted; so consuming too much protein is a waste of protein powder, money and energy.

So ideally, we must consume an effective protein powder supplement that’s also HEALTHY. The very protein powder supplement I use is HEALTHY and more importantly SAFE. It also has a decent taste (I like the Rocky Road flavor).

And awesomely-enough it’s very well-rated on Amazon (4.5 out of 5.0) and it also SHIPS FOR FREE (I ABSOLUTELY LOVE having an Amazon Prime membership).

Here are the ingredients: Protein Blend (Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Peptides), Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Natural and Artificial Flavor, Lecithin, Salt, Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium. Enzyme Blend: Aminogen, Lactase (Standardized to 100,000 Fcc Units/G).

I won’t keep you in suspense any longer:
