Whey Protein Shake (What is it?)
A whey protein shake is part of a high protein diet program. The concept is to substitute a shake for your normal breakfast meal, and perhaps even your lunch meal. Beyond that, you continue to eat in your normal, sensible manner. The shake itself is merely whey powder blended with soy or skim milk, or even water. The whey powder can be purchased in several different flavors. Vanilla and chocolate are common flavors. Beyond the protein powder and milk, you can add fruit to add additional flavor. Strawberries, bananas and blueberries are often used in whey shakes. You can use whatever fruit you like. Some also choose to add ice. The key to the whey protein shake is the 20 grams of protein. This is a considerable amount of protein for a single meal. In addition, it is whey protein, so it has extremely high absorption rates (in some cases 50% better absorption than egg protein). It is the amount, and the biological usefulness, that make the diet powerful. One fact of whey protein is that is low in carbohydrates and fats. You get very few calories in a shake, and those that you do get come from the protein. (more…)

Whey Protein Shake Breakfast — Speed Up Your Metabolism All Day With This 4-point Checklist
We’ve all heard the adage “breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” but in addition, we need to eat the right kind of breakfast and actually be able to have time to do so. Eating breakfast jump-starts your metabolism, which gets your body burning calories to fuel your brain, organs, muscles, etc. Your metabolism works best when fueled by small meals every few hours, and when you wake up in the morning, you haven’t eaten for about eight hours. Your metabolism is on “slow” until you eat. If you don’t eat breakfast, it stays on slow. When you eat the right things for breakfast, your metabolism gets a kick-start, your body is geared to burn fat rather than store fat, you feel satisfied not hungry, you can think clearly, and you are more productive, patient and learn better. To make your breakfast do all these wonderful things for you, you need three things at every meal: protein, fats, carbs. That’s where the whey protein shakes and smoothies come in. High protein drinks are fast and easy to make and still give you the necessary protein to satisfy the checklist. Four Key Items For a Fast Metabolism Checklist Get (more…)
