Actually I was saying the opposite, they have grown in muscles, but I am not really a fan of that, those bodies simply look artificial.joshposh said:I'm sure they are eating other things that are making their bellies big. Protein shakes and protein in general won't go directly to belly fat. Carbs, starches, and sugars spike your insulin levels and are then stored into fat cells. Protein doesn't spike your insulin levels and that get transformed into energy.
I always go with a cheap whey Isolate. Soy protein is no good for men (estrogen production and all that) and the isolate really gets it down to what you need. My favorite energy go to is to blend up some quick oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and maybe some powdered milk. All you do is add water and you've got quick carbs, complex carbs and protein to slow it all down. This right here is the holy grail for me. I got into it when I was a mover all day long and needed the real food energy over caffeine and other ****. I promise you, this combo right here will save your bacon!StrawberryCat said:Who else here drinks protein shakes?
I recently started to get even more interested in protein shakes (I'm also new to cycling by the way) so I need some new and good tasting recipes. I absolutely love anything with berries or chocolate in it. Does anyone have any recommendations? Let's use this thread to share our favorite protein shake recipes.
Nothing special in my protein shake. I take whey protein. If I do go to the gym like I use to, I would drink anywhere between 50 to 100 grams of protein. Just maintain the muscle you have now, you to take at least 2 grams of protein per pound of lean muscle mass.
I have not tried them yet but I would love to try them. I have heard about the 'protein shakes'. I use the natural food products for my protein needs but I would love to try the protein shakes as the protein content is very high.Who else here drinks protein shakes?
