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™ - Vanilla Bean:
I read every review and I decided to try these anyway. However, when I opened the bottle I was a little nervous because it smelled like medicine! so I took a small sip and to my taste buds it was actually good! I put it in the freezer for a while and it was satisfying and the taste was great. come on people it is a protein shake! what are you expecting!! and that is what I told myself and I gave it a try and I was full for 4 hours and did not even think about eating. glad I went ahead and tried them for myself.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ - Vanilla Bean:
I reviewed this product already talking about how great it tastes, especially after an hour in the freezer. But it also is a great weight loss tool. I am down 6 pds after 7 days. Drinking shakes for breakfast and lunch (usally with a banana at lunch) and eating a Fiber One bar or 100 cal pack for mid afternoon snack. Normal dinner. Also walked or rode bike a mile 3 or 4 times. My goal is 20-25 pds by June 24.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ - Vanilla Bean:
These shakes are great. Wasn't sure about the vanilla bean when I drake it just refridgerated, but wow I stuck it in the freezer for 45 min to an hour before lunch and it was fantastic. It was the consistency of thin shake or smoothy. It was still good and I would have continued to drink them even without freezing, but freezing really adds to it. Will post back with progress, only on second day.

While the powder is technically a better value, the ready to drink has much better nutritional stats, especially if you're following a low carb diet.

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ - Vanilla Bean:
I first bought the lean shake 25 chocolate in the powder. Then to see if I would like the vanilla bean I bought one of these pre made shakes. It's very convenient but the flavor of the vanilla bean is very sweet. I will be staying with the rich chocolate and making my own shakes :)

Comments about GNC Total Lean™ Lean Shake™ - Vanilla Bean:
After reading the reviews and listing to what the GNC associate said, i decided to buy enough for a week, and hope this will jump start my diet.
Nope!
I've drank two of them a day, exercised and had a very low diet and haven't lost an inch or pound. Yet people who tried this were able to loose weight after the first week. I know there is no miraculous weight loss product. And I do have some weight to loose, but nothing in a week?
No energy really, nothing.
Waste of my money actually.Pros
