Protein Shakes!. Hey there!
Came across your post this morning. Thought I might be able to lend you a little help on the matter! As I am sure you have noticed, there are a ton of proteins on the market. Here are some ideas to look for when buying.
First. When you think of protein, think amino acids. Those are what compose protein itself. Only animal base protein contains complete protein, like that you would find in whey, which is derived from milk.
Some proteins will offer an mix of whey and casein and other forms of casein, which realistically is a slower absorbing protein. So depending on how you are exercising, could help you in deciding the type of protein in general.
Last but not least, make sure they are produced by a reputable company. Give them a call and see who you get on the other line! And probably most importantly, it isn’t quantity, it is quality with protein. I don’t want this to sound like I am selling you anything, so if you want more info, reply back to this and I’ll hook you up with the goods!
As for recipes, my favorite is a machine I bought at Target. Kinda like “The Bullet”, but called, Bella Cina, “The Rocket.” It is basically a cup that you place a grinding blade on then drink the shake right out of the cup! My favorite creating is my protein powder(the not chalky brand
6 oz skim milk, small handful of walnuts and dry oats, a few coffee beans, and about 6 small ice cubes. Tastes great with either chocolate or vanilla!
Have a great weekend!
dangers of protein. I think protein is not only overrated, but unhealthy in the large amounts us north americans are accustomed to. As has been pointed out, protein is made of amino acids which raise the acidity of the blood. The body then counters that acidity by stripping calcium and magnesium from the bones. Consider that nations with the highest rates of dairy consumption have the highest rates of osteoporosis. There’s a lot of money being made in the protein-rich dairy and beef industries, and likewise, a lot of money to be used to influence us to eat protein at every opportunity.
Cite your sources please. §.
sources. The Dairy Bureau of Canada – the marketing arm of Canada’s dairy industry – has admitted that excess protein causes the excretion of calcium in the urine. I believe this effect is well-known. Also well-known is that 2 grams of protein per lb of body weight is the recognized safe limit. The flip side is obviously that anything above that limit is unsafe. Consider also the chinese, where osteoporosis is virtually unknown. Their calcium intake pales by comparison [roughly one third] to that of the milk-guzzling west. Of course there are other factors, but this pattern is repeated in many other examples.
I would rely more. on reliable peer reviewed research.
And no it’s not 2 grams per lb.
It’s up to 2 grams per kg of body weight.
Source: American Dietetics Association, Journal of the American Medical Association, etc.
And that’s for patients with burns over a large percentage of their body.
Average person is .8-1.2 grams per kg.
Asians are another high risk group for osteoporosis. Not sure if you were aware of that. In Hong Kong, there is a research center dedicated to understanding why it is such a growing problem, as well as outreach.

There is also a new organization dedicated to the Asian-Pacific Community and osteoporosis, so I wouldn’t rule it out as an issue or say its unknown.

I hesitate telling people these “per lb” limits because they aren’t research based and I agree most people consume way too much. They really need to be more precise with intake and limit portion sizes in general though. I don’t believe a scoop thrown into a protein shake here or there as long as it’s factored in will determine one’s risk for osteoporosis though. So many other factors there. Calcium content in water, multivitamin/mineral intake and consistency, types of calcium consumed, Ethnicity, gender, etc. Millions of factors if you will.
“you need 1.5 grams per lb of body weight”. That’s a quote from ‘Muscle Mag’, though I’d rather stick to metric, as you did. I’m unsure how you can be so sure of yourself. I’d ask for your sources if I thought I’d get anything less than the equivalent of a telephone directory sized list. No one is sure – including you – and of course there are innumerable variables and factors. Pills and powders are at least unnecessary and often harmful. Lady, I’m not interested in arguing any longer though I promise to read your stinging rebuke. I wish you good health.
Problem is, I listed my sources.. And they are credible. Not a rebuke, merely dissertation of fact, if you will. Learned in a classroom. With real professors, even.
Have a great day.
the problem with. epidemiological data is that you cannot determine cause and effect. How do you know its not the lack of omega 3, fruits and vegetables, or whole grains in the typical American diet? Maybe its because of the extra preservitives and hormones we are consuming thru our consumption of heavily treated livestock…
that’s a good point.. Most hormones are calcium based, or require calcium to work in some fashion. hormone fed protein sources haven’t been studied for how they leech calcium out of our own vital system, to my knowledge. I’d have to check and see. Many preservatives are sodium or potassium based, which can also effect calcium excretion.
I like Designer Whey protein §.
Ilike the Jay Robb line. They have the Egg white type.
All of them will seem a little chalky as you say, if used with water. I like to blend them with other things. Low fat and no sugar added yogurt , or frozen sugar free yogurt can do wonders for the texture and flavor.
I like Isopure Low Carb or Zero Carb whey.. they come in a variety of flavors, but also, you can control the amount of carbs, and types that you want in your shakes. I like to add fiber to mine with fruits, and include healthy fats, such as flax oil, or even avocado.
You can easily check websites like fitnessmagazine.com, or oxygen.com for healthy shake recipes, specifically those geared towards goals like weight loss, or shakes you can drink before or after a workout.
One thing to remember with protein powders is that there are different types of protein (beef isolate, whey, whey isolate, microfiltered whey, soy, casein, etc.). Each type has a different texture, aftertaste, and you may have to try a few before you find one that’s right for you. Read the label to see what else it contains. You don’t want one with a lot of fillers.
