whey protein for weight loss

When you are on a weight loss diet, whey protein can help you. Whey protein for weight loss is good because it helps you to maintain muscle when you are on a weight loss diet. The basics of losing weight is the following:

1) Cut Down your calories.
2) Cut down your fat intake.
3) Cut down your carbohydrate intake.
4) Consume enough protein to maintain your muscle mass.

There are kind of weight that you carry. One is muscle mass and other is fat tissue. When you are on weight loss diet, your goal is to lose fat tissue and not your muscle mass.

It is recommended by lot of experts to have at least 0.5 to 1 gram of protein per pound of your body weight. This helps you to maintain your precious muscle when you are trying the burn the fat through cardiovascular exercise.

Lot of us have busy schedules and I know some people who also have to do two jobs. Maintaining your protein intake through food is a good idea but when you are not at home, it is always good to keep some protein powder and skimmed milk in your car.

You can mix the protein powder with the milk. Most of the whey protein powder have around 22 grams of protein per serving and this is good for you when you want to lose weight. Instead of going to a nearby fast food joint and eating a high calorie diet, I would suggest to drink a protein powder mixed with skimmed milk. According to me the best whey protein powder is Optimum nutrition whey protein. I can suggest it because I always use it and i always have it with me.

You can buy Optimum nutrition whey protein from Amazon by clicking on the links below:

The Anti-Estrogenic Diet: How Estrogenic Foods and Chemicals Are Making You Fat and Sick


I recently was doing some research and I came across lot of people writing about an anti estrogen diet.  If you are male and you want to lose weight, then you should pay attention to this article.

Estrogen is a female hormone which is found in women and it has some quantity in men.  Male hormone is called testosterone. If you have lot of Estrogen in a male body, this will make a man fat and will also develop a body like women.

Estrogen level in body rise when a person drinks lot of alcohol and also eat lot of processed food that we get in our grocery stores.  
So if you have lot of Estrogen in your body, you will have a hard time to build muscle and you need testosterone to build muscle and not Estrogen. So to make get information how you can change your diet, I highly recommend a book called The Anti-Estrogenic Diet: How Estrogenic Foods and Chemicals Are Making You Fat and Sick by Ori Hofmekler

How to lose weight tips.

If you want to know how to lose weight, you are reading the right article. Today, I will be sharing with you some tips that can help you in losing weight. There are many things that you will have to do and this means you will have to change your lifestyle a bit. This is a difficult thing to do in the beginning however, you will have to make some goals which will help you to do this.

If you have decided to lose weight, you have to ask yourself why you want to lose weight. As there is an old saying, you should always focus on ’why’. If you know ‘why’, then you can find ‘how’ very easily.

So just think again and decide why you want to lose weight. Once you have decided that, you can follow the tips given in this article. You should have a goal you can point at. When you have a goal, it will be easier for you to work towards it.
So what should you do to lose weight? First thing first, you need to cut down your calories coming from fat.

Just keep the following things in your memory:
1) 1 gram of protein = 4 calories
2) 1 gram of carbohydrate = 4 calories
3) 1 gram of fat = 9 calories

So by looking at the chart above, it makes sense to cut down you calories coming from fat. Which food has fat calories? You need to avoid food that has lot of oil, food which is fried. You need to avoid fast food. This kind of food has lot of calories and has what is called ‘empty calories’.

You can make a diet which has lot of protein, little carbohydrates and almost not fat. You can eat 5 to six meals a day instead of eating three big meals. I know that eating so many times will be difficult because most of the people also do jobs. But by sticking to this plan, you will be definitely lose weight.

To lose weight, you will have to burn calories. You can do that by doing cardiovascular exercise like running, walking, swimming, and cycling. You can invest in a new treadmill if you have the money or you can run on the road which will help you to burn calories. Just make sure you have some good sneakers and shoes that you can use for running.

Another thing that you need to know that 1 pound of muscles has 3500 calories. So if you want to lose 1 pound, you will have to lose 3500 calories.

You will have to calculate how many calories you intake. You can get those charts on the internet which will give the correct values of calories in different food items. If you have any questions, you can post a comment and I will be glad to assist you.
