  Is whey protein a superior protein choice?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  Whey protein powder is a superior protein choice because it is rich in glutamine and essential amino acids. It can also decrease the amount of muscle tissue broken down during an exercise session and aid in the synthesis of protein as muscles are being rebuilt and strengthened. Other reasons include:

  • Whey stimulates the metabolism. The amino acid profile of whey enhances recovery from exercise by stimulating muscle protein synthesis.

  • Whey is derived from calcium-rich milk products. Foods with a high calcium content increase fat loss, especially if you are on a low-calorie diet.

  • Whey helps the body to recover more quickly from the stress of exercise.

  • Whey gives strong support to the immune system.

  • Due to its high amino acid and glutamine content, whey supports gastrointestinal health and offers relief from digestive distress such as cramps, bloating, and diarrhea.

  Protein is a stabilizing food that assists in insulin management, the building of lean muscle, and immune function. For men, ingesting adequate amounts of protein daily helps stop the decrease in testosterone levels that they experience as they age. Getting adequate protein also helps avoid or slow bone loss in women, especially after menopause.

  Are protein supplements really better than protein foods?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  Protein supplements have its place when it is not possible for you to cook or prepare nutritious meals, but other than that you can’t completely replace real food with supplements. To develop muscle, sure you’ll need both, but if you have to choose you can’t go wrong with real food because they are a source of complete protein. Protein supplements are advantageous not in terms of absorption rate or quality but because of convenience. The protein supplement industry is a multi-billion dollar industry because a lot of people don’t have the time to buy, cook, prepare, and eat protein foods often and would rather drink a protein shake instead. Don’t believe too much of the hype though, and as much as possible keep your focus on real food.

The recommended protein intake is 1 gram per kilogram of bodyweight.

  Dr. Kavita

  Protein has a diuretic effect on your body; it means that it takes out water out of your body. So your body will make you feel thirsty in order for it to not get dehydrated. This is the reason why you will lose weight rapidly at first. So when you are on a diet you should drink lots of water.

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Dr. Kavita

  It is possible that the two diets are the same but not necessarily. You can eat a diet with low carbohydrates but not high in protein and vice versa. But oftentimes you will eat a high protein diet if you are on a low carb diet; this is quite effective if you want to lose weight.

  I have a lot of gas whilst on a high protein diet is this normal?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Dr. Kavita

  Yes, this is defintely normal. Proteins take a lot of time to get digested and no wonder that they lead to gas, bloating and fullness. Your body may be adapted to a predetermined amount of protein that you can digest at one time. As you stick to your high protein diet, your body will start re-adapting and slowly but surely you will find the gas improving.

  Is eating a high protein diet damaging to your kidney health?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  To date no study has indicated that a high protein diet can lead to kidney damage such as kidney stones in people who have healthy kidneys. Only those who have pre-existing conditions and those predisposed to kidney damage need to watch their protein intake. Either way, just to be on the safe side it would always be best to drink plenty of water and eat vegetables to help cleanse and process by-products of protein metabolism.

  What are the best ways to speed up your metabolism?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  Boosting your metabolism and burning calories more efficiently can only come from the right combination of factors, which include diet, exercise, and sleep. If you’ve been stuck at the same weight and have problems losing weight even with regular exercise, aside from exercising a little harder, reducing your carbohydrate intake and increasing your protein intake is a good way to start. Make sure you get enough B vitamins and water as well, and consume the heaviest meals in the early hours of your day. What you eat is important, but WHEN you eat it is very important as well. Don’t skip breakfast or any meal for that matter because if your body goes into starvation mode, instead of losing fat you’ll gain more of it as the body will protect its fat stores from being depleted. If you are used to eating large portions of food every 3-4 hours, eat smaller meals more frequently instead. Coupled with some form of resistance exercise to develop muscle, you can rev up your metabolism even for hours afterwards.
