Right serving of Whey Protein for losing weight?
I am currently 200lbs, trying to lose some weight. I usually do cardio 4 times a week. I also do some lifting after that.
I bought Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Standard Whey Protein. I want to build and recover my muscle after workout quicker.
Do you know the right serving for me in order to lose some weight and has a good muscle recovery and building? If I follow the
direction from the label, I am worried that is too much for me in order to Lose Weight. Thank You.
You want to lose Body-fat. Not “weight”.
How many calories are you eating? Unused calories (energy) is stored as body fat. Protein drinks are a great source of muscle regenerating proteins and nutrients – but they also have significant calories too. Like 280-300 per serving. All these calories count!! If you exceed your total calorie level by too much, you’ll gain more in body fat then you’ll burn in the gym.
It’s really a balance. You need enough calories for your body, AND to fuel your workout. Enough to push your workouts to the max. But that’s all.
Hint: Limit simple carbs. Things like sugar, processed foods, white breads and pastas. Get your carbs from complex sources (fruits and veggies). This change alone has helped many lose body fat, and still have enough energy to workout.
Protein drinks should be thought of as a “suppliment” and not a meal. Also, proteins do not provide you with more energy like some think! Energy (calories) from proteins is reserved for cell building, tissue repair. Simply put, “Body movement energy” comes from carbs and fats, not protein.
How Can I Boost My Recovery After Chemotherapy?
Question:
I’m now on my fifth cycle of chemotherapy for breast cancer, with one more cycle to go. The side effects, mainly digestive problems, get worse each time. is there any thing I can do to help myself through this and to put myself back on the path to good health when the treatment ends?
Answer:
The goal of chemotherapy is to destroy the spread of the cancer cells in the breast tissue or lymph nodes. Although chemotherapeutic agents have a devastating effect on the cancer cells, the body pays a price: the liver, kidneys and other organs with healthy cells are severely affected too, because the chemo agents aren’t able to target only the cancer cells. Up to six cycles of chemo seems to offer optimum benefit, as any more therapy would increase the toxicity in the body to an unacceptable degree. When chemotherapy is over, the body has to rebuild everything quickly – like reconstructing a house after a hurricane. The sooner the body’s wellbeing is reinstated, the better chance it has of going into a remission or cure.
In my experience, there is a lot you can do to build up your physical and mental strength as soon as your cancer is diagnosed, and you should keep up this programme for the long term. Stress management is paramount you need to control emotions such as anger, frustration, fear and embarrassment. My own belief is that saying things such as, ‘I’ll fight it tooth and nail, care counterproductive: you can maintain your fighting spirit most effectively by staying calm. It is best to accept the condition, approach it spiritually and rectify the damage to your body and mind. If you create serenity within yourself and slow down your mind and body, this may check the spread of cancer cells. Worries, stress, financial difficulties, and so on, will always be there, but you have to learn to become ‘immune’ to them: doing this will help you most.
Starting to get the ‘feel good’ factor back is a sign of your body’s innate healing power responding to the changes you’ve made. This force – which we take for granted to mend cuts, bruises and broken bones – can help you overcome your maladies.
Here are my suggestions
Diet
* Try to eat organic foods whenever possible.
* Regularly drink freshly juiced carrots, apples, ginger, celery and fresh mint with wheatgerm.
* During chemotherapy, eat soft foods, such as mushy rice, mashed potatoes, soft-boiled eggs, minced chicken, grilled or poached fish, overcooked or pureed vegetables, soups, juices, porridge, lentils and fresh (non-citrus) fruits.
* Always avoid foods that agitate the body, such as coffee, excess salt strong spices, sugar, yeast products, red meat fatty or fried foods, canned products, plus soft drinks, alcohol and cigarettes.
Supplements
From the start of chemotherapy, take the following to support the body’s functions:
* Dr Ali’s Multivitamin and Mineral or BioCare One A Day : one daily for three months.
* Bio Liv : one twice daily for three months.
* Stomach Formula : two twice daily for two months.
Relaxation
* Try meditation, chanting prayer, creative visualisation, singing, playing music, painting, dancing, recreational sports or games. I also recommend therapeutic iyengar yoga, which combines exercise and meditation. It incorporates pranayama – the art of breathing, which calms and stills the mind while supplying blood and oxygen to the body’s cells. (Vigorous yogas lack the peace the body needs to slow down the madness of cell division.)
* Read my book Theropeutic Yoga, co-written with Jiwan Brar ; particularly practice the corpse pose with retention breathing (breathe in for three seconds, hold for three to six seconds and breathe out for six seconds). I talk you through this on my Lifestyle DVD, £19.95, and Relaxation CD, (both Integrated health Group).
Massage
Ask someone to massage your neck, shoulders, back, calves and the soles of your feet every week, but to avoid the breasts and lymph nodes. Reflexology is excellent, too.
Nutritional therapy
My colleague Dr Wendy Denning( at the Integrated Medical Centre) gives controlled intravenous infusions of vitamins and minerals to cope with the demands of hemotherapy and keep the life force active. When the liver is sluggish and the appetite is poor – or there is a digestive problem, as in your case – you lack nutrients at the time you need them most.
