3 Top Protein Powders to Use


Yesterday, I looked at whether you really need to use protein powders for weight loss. While you don’t, there will always be some who prefer to use supplements or need to supplement their lifestyle or diet because of choices or needs.

Because of that, I want to make your choices and search for protein powders to use easier. That’s why I’m sharing the top three powders available for women who want to lose weight.

Whey protein powder is considered the better option out there. It has less lactose in it, which helps to keep the sugar content down and helps those with dairy or lactose intolerances and allergies.

Optimum Nutrition



This whey powder tends to make the top of any list of protein powders. That’s because it’s affordable, effective, and easy to digest. It comes in different sizes, but if you’re new to whey protein powders I’d suggest getting the smaller packet first to trial it. If it works for you, then invest in the larger packets to save money.

The powder is full of amino acids to help with the repair of muscles, so you can do more throughout your workouts.

Cellucor Cor-Performance



There are very few carbs and fats in this protein powder and it is fast acting. While it’s 100% whey, it does have a sweet taste. The best part is that it doesn’t have as much of the badness that other whey protein powders have. Some people say that it curbs their sugar craving by having some of this after their workout.

This one comes in different flavors and works well when mixed with water or skimmed milk.

BSN Syntha-6



This is one of the cheaper options on the market, especially when you look at the larger packets. It is packed with amino acids and gives a creamy texture, even when drank with water. It also has a small amount of good fats and some fiber to help support the body.

The only thing that it doesn’t do is support the fat burning workout level. It will support the higher endurance workouts, though.

These are just three to get started with. I really do recommend starting with the smaller tubs of the protein powders to give them a test for a few weeks. Once you find one you’re happy with, then you can opt for buying in bulk to save more money.

    I once tried egg protein powder when I was on a strict diet but that has been a while.

    I do have a stock of protein bars that help when I am out on the walking/running track.

    Good info, thanks.

      My husband used to have one of these. We can't find it in stores where we are now, so he's had to make a switch. I'm waiting for him to tell me what it's like.

    It does help to find the right supplements for your fitness regimen. Some fitness clubs and gyms have their preferred brands but I guess one should find the perfect match for one's self.

      Yeah, I've noticed that with various clubs and gyms. I often wonder if it's the fact that they recommend them or just that they get a deal for selling them. The cynic in me thinks the latter, so I like to do my own research.

100 Day Challenge Day 28: Staying In Control on a Busy Day

Image
I mentioned yesterday on the 100 Day Challenge that Wednesday was going to be busy. I expected to eat the majority of my weekly pro points that I had left. In the end, I only went into a small amount of them. The whole way I did that was by staying in control and making good choices . That’s an important part of losing weight. Yes, I could have stuffed my face with chocolate because there were periods when I really wanted to, but I didn’t. I didn’t deprive myself either. When I wanted chocolate, I told myself that I would get it later (knowing that I’d have some later anyway).  It doesn’t have to be boring making good choices. Rather than having a bit of chocolate at the end of the night, I shared a punnet of strawberries with my husband and daughter. They gave me the sweet kick that I needed to finish off the day. They were juicier and more delicious than a bar of chocolate, too. While doing all that, I’m also drinking more water. I’ve even decided to start my day...

Why Eating Fruit and Vegetables Isn’t Enough to Lose Weight

Image
I received a message yesterday from someone looking for some weight loss support. She mentioned that she was eating lots of fruit and vegetables but still not losing weight. Okay, well, eating fruit and vegetables isn’t enough to lose weight. Yes, really! While eating fruit and vegetables can help—it certainly gets you your nutrients—it isn’t going to give you everything your body needs. In fact, too many fruit and vegetables can lead to weight gain. And you need to look at all the other stuff you’re eating! Be honest with yourself. So, let’s look at this in stages… Eating too much of a good thing is bad Yes, you really can eat too much of a good thing. Want to know why? Because you run the risk of not getting a balanced diet. While you get your fibre and nutrients from fruit and vegetables, you need to get carbohydrates, protein, and some fats. Yes, your body needs fat! By the way, fruit is full of natural sugar. While it’s not as bad for you as...
