i know a few that have but i dont think its worth the money!
Egg white protein falls between whey and casein as far as speed of digestion.
I think it depends on flavoring as well, Iāve had some horrible caseins before, but have also had some decent ones. Mixed in with whey, it all tastes about the same to me.

Help a brother help a brother out!
Cool story bro.
You forgot about Oatz.
- Go with something low impact on the knees first such as cycling, swimming, etc and if he hasnāt been exercising in a while, 2-3 days is a good start. When your starting out, know your limits first.
- Yes.
- Either a 4-day lower-upper split, 3-day full body, or 3-day lower/upper/full combination.
- A minimum of 4 meals a day, aim for 6 though.
- Lean meats, vegetables, some fruit, water, tea, nutsā¦basically anything thatās not crap.
- Take it one step at a time. Too many changes is just gonna lead to one big crash.
:tup:
I manage to get my squating back to 400 lbs/ L.press 750-800lbs
I wont exceed anymoreweight to avoid knee problems for now.:tup:
Thanks bro
I got some questions about supplements and stuff.
The first is how good is this stuff called Body Fortress Whey Protein? Itās damn cheap ($14.69 for 2 lbs. at Target), but I tasted it and it doesnāt have the same kick that other protein powders have. Think itās still worth it?
Also, how effective is the GNC whey protein? I got a sample of it and itās not bad. With the gold card that stuff is pretty cheap.
Two more random questions, but how effective is green tea if itās not hot? Iāve been ordering that at Starbucks the last few times Iāve gone (just cause itās the cheapest thing on the menu) and Iāve liked the results. Does it have to be hot to take effect or is cold still good?
Finally, any suggestions on good orange juice, preferably with pulp?
Protein isnāt supposed to give too much of a kick. Its really for muscle maintenance. For the most part, theyāre all pretty much the same except for the different kinds like casein, whey, and soy. Get a good whey protein with good mix ability, cheap, taste, and fits your caloric needs.
GNC protein isnāt bad. Low calories and the ones i tasted, tasted pretty good.
If youāre really worried about price, and not so much taste, then might as well just buy in bulk. Like a 10lb bag or somethin.
As far as i know, green tea is taken for the anti-oxidants and the ability to possibly lower the chance of cancer and heart disease. Shouldnāt matter if its cold or warm.
Most store bought juices are loaded with sugar. Try making fresh squeezed OJ, IMO it tastes a shitload better anyway.
HIIT cardio for someone trying to lose weight?
Where can I get a good template for upper/lower/full body workouts for losing weight?
Is cardio/lifting weights better in the morning?
Should he greatly reduce carbs, or maintain it but keep it clean? What about good fats? Any magic ratio or its all good?
Thanks!

Depends how much experience theyāve had exercising lately. If almost none, they most likely wonāt be able to handle high intensity intervals first shot.

Any type of lifting will help shed fat. Take a look at this article for more insight on designing one.

First thing out of bed? Hard as balls if you ask me. I enjoy my workouts 1-2 hours after waking up. It really is based on your priorities for that day. If youāre busy in the morning with more important matters, save it for when you have free time and arenāt in a rush.

Itās not about how much you eat, but more about when you eat. Fibrous carbs in vegetables are great any time. Fruits and whole grains, on the other hand, are better within 3 hours after a lifting session. If heās been a hefty individual since his younger highschool years, then a good ratio to follow would be 25% carbs, 35% protein, and 40% fat.
:tup:
Iām going to college, playing ball on the svchool team, I have a part time job, and I can get into the gym no problem.
Itās all about time management. You orginize yourself and youāll be surprised on how much time you really have.
wordā¦
problem is most ppl are just to lazy to do that.
Are there any diet plans out there that donāt involve cooking shit?
I just want to be able to go to the store, grab what i need, toss it into the fridge, and eat it when its time to eat.
I find that when cooking shit >washing pots/pans is involved i say fuck it and end up eating fast food.
Eat less food, avoid empty calories like pop and candy.
Probably tough to not cook at all. Easiest thing you can do is make some meal-replacement shakes. Some yogurt, protein powder, flax seed, fruit, and whatever all in a blender.
Still gotta clean, but not as much.
Soldier Zeroās pretty much on point. Homemade protein shakes are a reasonably quick and easy way to get all the nutrients you need. Just dump it in and blend.
Aside from that, I try to eat stuff thatās typically healthy but relatively easy to prepareāwhole wheat bread, brown rice, yogurt, frosted shredded wheat + milk, oatmeal, fruit, salad, pasta. Lots of carbs in that list, I know, but itās low GI stuff.
Carbs are typically easier to prepare than meat. . .you can try buying deli turkey; itās pretty lean and all you have to do is put it on a piece of bread or something or eat it as is. Itās kind of expensive though. Most supermarkets provide rotisserie chicken already cooked, so thatās kind of convenient. Just avoid the skin.
thanks again SZ
One more thing. Some people have been telling advising my friend about a no carb diet. What have you heard about that?
Sounds lame since vegetables are made of carbs. Iāve heard for diabetics itās best to follow a high fat low carb diet, but thatās about it. Eat the starchy carbs after a lifting session to make better use of them.
Vegetables on the other hand are fine any time. Also, watch out on milk cause it contains a decent amount of sugar as well.
Buy a sack of already cooked chicken from costco, plus some chicken breat in a can, tuna, and a fuckload of fat free cottage cheese (trader joes is only 4g carbs). Add some fresh fruit, veggies, protein shakes and ground up oatmeal, should be good to go.
