Should i run while drinking protein shakes?!


Question: Should i run while drinking protein shakes?
So i've been working out for about 5 months and i'm see very little result...except on my abs. So i started taking protein shake to build more muscle on my arms and whatever.. I was just wondering if it's a good idea to run and drink shakes at the same time...and will it the protein shakes affect my abs?

Answers:

If you eat a proper diet, you don't need protein shakes. Most of them are scams and cheap junk. If you're having problem with gains, you may be over-training. Watch Scooby's videos, especially this one ---> http://www.youtube.com/user/scooby1961#p… Scooby is the best personal trainer I've been able to find on the web. He's a good guy to get to know. He's been where you want to go, has the bod to prove his techniques work, has 140+ videos for you to watch and learn from, will show you how to get big and eat healthy on the cheap, and won't try to sell you anything.

Shakes don't do anything except give you more calories than you need. Here's the story.

The most popular protein supplements are no more than milk with the nutrition extracted leaving the whey which is then sold for several times the amount you would pay for dehydrated milk. The result is you get less nutrition and spend more money. How does that make sense?

Your body does not store protein as it does fat. It makes the protein it needs when it needs it. And, if you're building muscle, it needs it over the entire recovery time between workouts and not just before or just after working out. That makes the idea of dumping a bunch of protein into your system at one time senseless.

Most people grossly overestimate the amount of protein they need. Here's how much you need according to the NIH. --> http://www.cdc.gov/nutrition/everyone/ba… . Most people in the developed world get that amount of protein in their daily diet because it amounts to no more than a glass of milk, some beans, and a piece of meat. Excess protein is just wasted and most will be excreted by the body.

The secret to building muscle, burning fat, and eating healthy is very simply to eat the correct and optimal amount of whole and varied foods as recommended by the US National Institute of Health. Now here are some references from the experts.

Here is what the US National Institute of Health warns about supplements. "Always check with your health care provider before taking a supplement, especially when combining or substituting them with other foods or medicine."
Ref: http://ods.od.nih.gov/Health_Information…

Here’s a white paper which debunks the myth of the protein supplement. Note the following excerpt...“At present there is no evidence to suggest that supplements are required for optimal muscle growth or strength gain.”
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15212…

Here's one more study to read. Note the excerpt..."Consumption of a recovery drink (whey protein, amino acids, creatine, and carbohydrate) after strength training workouts did not promote greater gains in FFM (Fat free muscle) compared with consumption of a carbohydrate-only drink.”
Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15105…

Here’s another from Live Science. Note the excerpt…“Medical researchers have advised against protein supplements for years for the average person. But many sports trainers continue to push them on amateur athletes simply because they don't know any better.”
Ref: http://www.livescience.com/health/protei…

Here's what Consumer Reports had to say..."But our investigation, including tests at an outside laboratory of 15 protein drinks, a review of government documents, and interviews with health and fitness experts and consumers, found most people already get enough protein, and there are far better and cheaper ways to add more if it's needed. Some protein drinks can even pose health risks, including exposure to potentially harmful heavy metals, if consumed frequently. All drinks in our tests had at least one sample containing one or more of the following contaminants: arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. Those metals can have toxic effects on several organs in the body."

Good luck and good health.

if your working out for 5 months, and not seeing much in results, the workout is absolutely wrong. Drinking protein shakes isn't going to change anything.

Protein shakes do NOT build muscle. They ONLY provide the nutrients required for muscle growth, but if growth hormone isn't triggered (which it isn't, since your working 5 months with no results), then drinking it daily will only add to your total calories and overall body fat. The nutrient concentration will go to waste, quite literally down the toilet.

I would suggest enrolling the advise of a personal trainer for a month. They should be able to assess your goals, and create a plan that you can follow - with measurable results.



maybe you aren't doing the right exercises if you want to build muscle you have to push yourself. If you are doing the same routine and not pushing yourself more each time you are basically just maintaining where you are at.
