Power Up with Protein
Power Up with Protein
Fuel your body more effectively, and get the most from your workoutsDo you ever feel you're slogging through your workouts, barely able to complete what you've planned, and anxious to hit the showers? Or maybe you've wondered how you might take the next step, fuel your body more effectively, and get the most "bang for your buck" from your workouts. Either way, a great place to start is with the basics, and one of the most basic nutrients for optimal athletic performance is protein.The A, B, Cs of protein and performance
Muscles are made of protein, so it's no surprise that protein is vital to enhancing their performance. Knowing what type, how much, and when to fit protein into your daily routine is the key to getting the most from this important nutrient.
Protein particulars
"Wheying" your options
For repairing hardworking muscles after a cardio or resistance training ("weight lifting") workout, nothing beats whey protein. Whey comes from dairy and allows your muscles to refuel effectively. Whey protein is found in powder form and comes in a variety of flavors, making it easy to incorporate into your diet. It can be stirred into yogurt, added to a smoothie, or mixed vigorously with water or another liquid in a lidded container.
The body best absorbs protein when eaten in amounts ranging from 15 to 30 grams in a single meal or snack. Unless you're a serious body-builder, there's no benefit to eating more than 30 grams of protein at one time.
Whey protein makes its way into muscles most efficiently when taken immediately after a workout, ideally within 30 minutes. Eating whey with carbohydrates promotes the movement of the protein from your bloodstream into your muscles as well. Aim for a ratio of 1 gram of protein for every 2 to 4 grams of carbohydrate.
As an example, combine whey powder to provide about 15 grams of protein in a blender with a banana, ice, and water. A large banana adds around 30 grams of carbohydrate and most whey powders contain a bit of carbohydrate as well. This gives you a finished smoothie with 2 to 3 grams of carbohydrate for every gram of protein-an ideal ratio.
HMB power
Amino acids are needed to build the various proteins used in the growth, repair, and maintenance of body tissues. Hydroxy-methyl butyrate, or HMB, is a breakdown product of leucine, of of the essential amino acids that are used as building blocks of protein. Studies have shown that HMB can improve strength and help the body maintain muscle mass. Ideally, HMB is used in conjunction with strength training to obtain the most benefit; it is not used to improve cardiovascular athletic performance.
Our bodies can make some HMB, but it isn't found in significant amounts in most foods, so taking a supplement is the best way to get enough HMB to enhance a resistance training routine.
The optimal amount of HMB is about 3 grams per day, but there isn't agreement on when to take it for best benefit. In order to avoid having HMB "compete" for absorption with whey protein, try taking this supplement in the morning, at bedtime, or about 15 to 30 minutes before a workout.
Final protein pointers
Be sure you're eating a good quality, well-balanced diet with plenty of vegetables, fruit, legumes (beans), and whole grains. Without these essential foods, all the whey protein and HMB in the world isn't going to do you any good. Think about creating a nutrient network in your body; they don't work well in isolation.
Also keep in mind that while whey and HMB are considered safe for most people, there are some who should not use these supplements, including people with impaired kidney or liver function. If you have questions about whether whey and HMB are safe for you, ask your doctor or pharmacist for guidance.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ - Strawberries and Cream:
I use this as a breakfast and sometimes lunch replacement. I am on the move at work, going from one location to another without a lunch break. This is ideal for drinking in the car. Also, have always had a hard time eating breakfast. This solves that problem. It is very refreshing, but MUST BE COLD. I tried other flavors but they had a medicinal taste. The strawberry was by far the very best. Lost 6 pounds in about 2.5 weeks. Was very pleased. Will definitely continue with this plan.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ - Strawberries and Cream:
I really enjoy this meal replacement shake. It doesn't taste as good as the premixed bottles but after a couple you get used to it. I also mix it with 4oz water/4oz milk, so that may help. Also I don't get hungry as quickly after having this shake. I usually have it in the morning and sometimes for lunch. Highly recommend.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ - Strawberries and Cream:
I bought this as a meal replacement to take to work. After about a month of using them for dinner, I have lost a substantial amount of weight (8 lbs in one month) and still managed to increase my overall weightlifting goals. The protein keeps me going through the night and the flavor is not unlike strawberry nesquik, just slightly watered down. I prefer the bottles to the powder just for the convenience as I dont much care to bring a shaker bottle to work. I was buying these in the 4 packs, but now started buying by the case. I am sold.

I purchased the product from the local GNC after being prompted to give it a try by the sales associate. He let me sample the product in-store. I was pleased to find that the flavor was actually enjoyable. I have been using as a meal replacement daily for lunch for 3 days now. It keeps me full until supper. I am very pleased with the product and am anticipating weight loss with the product with continued use.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ - Strawberries and Cream:
I have been using other shakes in the the Total Lean system and have been very happy with them. I LOVE strawberries so based on the reviews of others I thought I'd be happy with it. Boy, was I wrong. I brought it to work for breakfast and was very glad I had extras here. It tasted like sweet medicine!! Gross. I will be returning to exchange for a flavor that doesn't make me sick. :/ I was hoping this would be a good one too!

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ - Strawberries and Cream:
I swear by this product!! And GNC isn't paying me to say this. It has a great taste even though it's not as sweet as other strawberry meal replacements. As a person on the go who's accustomed to going to fast food places for a quick bite for breakfast & lunch, this shake is a great convenient and healthier replacement. I usually drink it in the morning (7/8am) & it keeps me full until lunch. I can't say a bad thing about this product. In a nutshell, if you're a busy person who loves strawberry flavored things, this a great choice & it leaves you full.
