Buying Protein Shakes

[Luke.l.08]

Ok. I recently posted a thread on protein shakes and have decided im gonna start using them...

Does anyone know what the best shakes are and where i can buy them?

I think it depends on what ur looking for I have used N large2 and got great results. Im currently using Olympia and just started taking that one I ve heard great reviews on it though. Fairly cheap when looking at a 2lb or 3lb jar. Nlarge2 was great economically as well. I think you just have to figure out what your aiming for.

I personally use milk after a workout and its working out pretty good considering its not even a protein shake. 3 glasses of milk after a workout if 25 grams of protein.

pre/post workout use 100% whey like optimum nutrition, or something like nitro tech

at night use 100% casien, i use optimum nutrition

One very important thing to look out for is in the ingredients.

If the powder has "Aspartame" or "Acesulfame-K" listed in the ingredients don't buy it.

Both these artificial sweeteners are actually slow releasing poisons. If there's a history of neuro-degenerative diseases in your family then you definitely must keep away from them. They've been linked with alzheimers disease by independent Doctors and Scientists.

The one I use is Designer Whey Protein. You have to get the "natural" flavour though so you don't get artificial sweeteners because they're flavoured varieties all contain them.

I didn't write it to scare people (though it probably did). I can imagine people looking at their ingredients labels right now! I wrote it because this sort of information is supressed by the FDA and the food industry because of how cheap artificial sweeteners are. In saying that though, there's plenty of research out there on the web, as well as books on the subject.

That's not the way you should be using your protein powder. It's meant to supplement your diet not replace meals.

so say I wanted to loose weight, would it be better to have the whey protien before or after a boxing workout?
