Proteins

[Guard Dog]

a sensible clean diet 5 days a week,4-6 meals w/ protein carbs and veges,protein shakes can be reserved for post work out and maybe between meals,hard to go past real food,.all this coupled with a good workout regime 3-4 times a week covering all bodyparts and ur on ur way to a decent body,.oh as mentioned plenty of water and sleep 8 hours per day if possible...OptimumNutrition is good value in the 4.7kg bag about $150 i pay for

I know who I'd take advice from...

:rolleyes:

You ***, every thing has a carb in it, black coffee or black tea has 0 calories yet 1 carb.

Dumb fark.

what happens if you do weights without protein?

Is it neccassary if you dont want to bulk up, just tone up

 

[bLaQDoG..]

Just buy some glucose powder and put it in.

Does glucose powder lean towards a particular flavour? Because my protein powders are chocolate. I don't want a choc-orange flavoured protein shake lol

To 'tone' up, you need to cut body fat, keep protein levels high, reduce carbs or fat and do a ****load of cardio. Weights arent really necessary unless you want to increase mass or strength. I mention to keep protein levels higher then other macros due to not burning through muscle, alot of people make the mistake of dieting and there protein isnt high enough to protect muscle, thus losing weight but alot of weight is lost in the form of water and muscle, no one wants to be skinny fat.

How about if you want to bulk up with a diet that doesnt contain lactose or gluten?

 

[Promiscuous]

You will gain fat not muscle.

Moe most protein shakes will boost your metabalism and you will lose more weight unless there really really high in sugar get a lean one.

Can't handle a joke, so he resorts to 2 personal insults.

Good on you mate. I'm in awe of your knowledge of protein. *clap clap*

Its usually not flavoured. But It will make it taste a bit sweeter.

Seriously as if a jaffa flavoured shake wouldnt be awesome though.

To 'tone' up, you need to cut body fat, keep protein levels high, reduce carbs or fat and do a ****load of cardio. Weights arent really necessary unless you want to increase mass or strength.

If you end up doing a sh!tload of cardio (or even more than necessary) and no weight training at all, you'll lower your testosterone levels bigtime - which means you're more than likely to cause yourself muscle atrophy and weight gain in the long run.

Weights are necessary to maintain testosterone levels and muscle mass as well. If you think you can just 'tone up' without using weights, you're kidding yourself!

I was taking rockyroad flavoured protein and orange gatorade powder at one point I thought it was pretty good

see your full into it, i think the avg person just wants to keep it simple. All these different types of supplements will confuse people who have nfi what your on about

its so much easier to be fat

 

[dogkat]

Wanna swap bodies?

Even though I'm fat, I have a weird ability to build muscle without trying. I go for a walk or lift 1kg weight 10 times and my muscles explode.

If a genie came and stripped off my body fat, I would look like an elite athlete. Even under the fat I can feel they are huge. Makes me look even bigger

Me too. I have always bulked up on muscle way too easily.

This year I ended up with the female version of Berries forearms.

Unfortunately, at the moment, all my muscles are more hidden than usual.

yes it is but a simple approach to nutrition and a good training regime that covers all muscle groups+cardio and there you have it
if it comes down to it a couple of healthy chicken breast and salad sandwiches will be enough to help you recover from a workout and thats just 1 example of a good post workout meal,.protein powder(wpi) is just convenient and faster absorbing
too many newbies in gyms over analyse things and get too scientific with it
