Whey protein shakes side effects, Some experts say that consuming whey protein in the long term can cause of side effects, such as the kidney stones or acidification of the blood which can lead to osteoporosis, liver damage ketosis caused. When the body uses calcium to eliminate the effect of the acidity of the blood, calcium unused will settle in the kidneys that can cause kidney stones.

However, the whey protein supporter said that the side effects just speculation without any scientific evidence.

Logically, if all consumed in moderate amounts will not danger, just like if you eat excess can be harmful. The important thing is not to overdo it. And because of the side effects of whey protein is visible only when consumed in large quantities and for a long time, so you also have to be careful when choosing products that are consumed for long periods and regular.

However there are a few precautions before diligently taking whey protein.

If you are allergic to milk proteins please consult with a physician before taking any type of whey protein.

A person with lactose intolerance should avoid whey protein concentrate, because it usually contains lactose and the amount can vary greatly from one product to another. People with lactose intolerance have to choose whey protein isolate that is less than 0.1 grams of lactose per tablespoon (20 grams) or less lactose than the amount found in a cup of yogurt.

Whey protein with high quality and complete can be consumed by pregnant women and children, provided they are not allergic to milk protein.

The content of most of the whey protein is alpha-lactalbumin, which is the main protein in human milk. Infant formulas often contain whey protein, including special formulas for premature infants.

But before taking whey protein, good for pregnant women and children should, parents of children should consult with a physician to be absolutely sure that you give whey protein is right for them.

For a bodybuilder who wants to increase muscle mass significantly and continuously burn calories generally consume 150 grams per day. And you should know that very high doses of whey protein is not recommended, as this will cause the liver is overloaded, and do not get the same benefits as the lower number of rules given between three to five times per day.

Whether you are trying to lose weight, maintain or improve our physical form, it is best to do a combination of diet and exercise. If we lose a few kilos without starve us without losing muscle mass and bone density, the solution is to forget about restrictive diets and physical inactivity.

This is a fairly simple question: overweight occurs as a logical consequence of the imbalance maintained between intake and caloric expenditure, ie, the less we spend, the more we save, and if we want to save only two options: spend more or enter less.

Login least, means a lot to reduce the calories in our diet, and therefore, this often results in tighter, unhealthy diets and difficult to follow.

Advantages of combining diet and exercise

Spending more means increasing energy demands of our body and this is achieved by the exercise. However, it is not easy to lose weight through exercise alone, and that to this end, we should increase our level of activity disproportionately, and this, plus it is not healthy, it is not easy to get.

What is the solution? Well, neither more nor less than a combination of these two measures, but yes, always with his head.

If we lose those extra kilos, we follow a diet in which fats are not abused or simple sugars, but we will also work out, we have some factors in mind:

- Do not agree our diet is very restrictive, as this will cause us fatigue, muscle fatigue, cramps and even dizziness.

- Protein diets, which reduce or completely prohibit carbohydrates, are not recommended by practicing exercise because carbohydrates are needed as fuel and without them we overcome fatigue and forces us to fail.

The best exercises to lose fat

Posted on September 11, 2014 by john in Fitness tips

How to lose fat. Our goal, losing weight is not always successful. Many people are obsessed with what the scale says every morning, despite earrings 100 grams less each day, regardless if you have lost have been 100 grams of fat and 100 grams of muscle.

Personally, I am of the opinion that the weight that makes the scale is not important. Preferably a few kilos more and despite being fit with adequate muscle mass, which weigh less and be totally wimp.

Therefore, we should focus on losing fat rather than lose weight.

A common mistake, especially among women, is to start a low calorie diet without performing any physical exercise. The result: weight loss with significant loss of muscle mass.

The problem of losing muscle mass, plus it is obviously not healthy, is that our metabolism slows down, as a developed muscle uses more energy to maintain another undeveloped, therefore, to abandon the low calorie diet will recover quickly all the weight lost, and even more, as fat.

My advice is to start out to follow a balanced diet, ignoring the overly restrictive diets and physical exercise you practice.

Exercise to lose fat

Then we will look at different types of exercises to see which is the most I can help you lose fat:

Cardio exercises. These exercises are characterized by increased heart rate and require a high energy input during implementation. This energy is mainly produced from carbohydrates first, and then the fat reserves. So to start losing fat, exercise should last at least more than 25 minutes.

Among these exercises are running, swimming, aerobics, step, and two exercises that have become very popular lately: Spinning and Body Combat.

Spinning an hour you can lose up to 600 calories an hour Body Combat 700 calories.
sports-to-lose-fat

Sports to lose fat

Faced with such exercises are exercises bodybuilding. In these, so it will not burn fat during class but nevertheless, to tone up the muscles, the daily metabolic rate increases, which helps you lose fat.

A complete and fun option for those who get bored working alone in the weight room is the Body Pump. It consists of a series of exercises with weights to strengthen the muscles of the legs, buttocks, arms, chest and abs. Are performed to the rhythm of music and you can lose about 400 calories an hour.

I think both a type of exercise as another has advantages when it comes to losing fat and gaining muscle, so perhaps most interesting is alternate the two types of exercise. We can practice, for example, a Spinning day, another Body Pump and Body Combat another.

However, there are 4 myths in “theory”, make you lose weight but it is not. Sport Life magazine, shows you the :

Myth 1. Else will burn fat if you exercise on an empty stomach ?

Train on an empty stomach is not a good habit of life. Several studies have shown that physical work done with the stomach without food is not beneficial to burn more fat, compared to those who exercised one to two hours after eating any food

Myth 2. Did the same number of calories burned if you walk or run 1 mile at speed ?

According to experts Sport Life, running a mile can burn up to 30% more calories than walking ; all depends on the intensity and speed with which we make. The reason is that when running, more physical effort is required, as you have to lift your weight of soil in each step you take. They work all your muscles and you need more energy

Myth 3. ? Walk slowly for an hour is a good exercise ?

Walking slowly ( about 5 mph ), is very healthy, because your levels of blood sugar is regulated ; reduces stress and your blood pressure is stable. If what you want is to lose weight and you’re not used to exercise, this is an excellent choice to do so, but should gradually increase your speed to keep burning more calories

Myth 4. Does fat turn into muscle ?

Fat and muscle are different fabrics ; can not tranform each other, but sometimes you get confused, because after 30 years you begin to lose muscle mass, if not you exercise. The explanation is that the fat usually appears in places where there was firm and toned muscle, but you can remove fat, performing cardio and build muscle with resistance exercise (weight training)

Remember that the key is to have a balanced diet and exercise for at least 60 minutes if you want to reduce weight and advise with health experts to achieve the desired objectives.

Healthy eating is a great complement to more easily develop our exercise, but also the caloric intake (energy ) should be fair to provide and what we spend - should be neither more nor less than the necessary requirements ; and also varied.

HEALTHY EATING AND GROWTH IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

If proper nutrition is important for maintaining the health of adults, it is even more for children and adolescents as it is necessary for growth and development. During childhood and adolescence, dietary habits and exercise can make the difference between a healthy lifestyle and the risk of disease in later years. At different stages of life, different nutrients are required. Therefore eating habits should be taught.

In the event of risk of overweight, must also be considered height and age, which is variable, and if the event that the minor does not want to strive to lose weight is given, it should necessarily go a specialist ( nutritionist ), to guide the whole family, since, normally produced by habits of the whole family.

Extreme Cardio for Weight Loss

Posted on April 20, 2014 by john in Fitness tips

You do not have to do cardio to lose weight at all. None. Surprising, is not it? We have been told many times that you have to cardio, aerobics, cardio and the fat burning zone to burn fat. But the truth ? You have to control your diet. How to burn calories to lose weight is less important.

The latest research from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, has shown that a cardio program 8 weeks ( 3 sessions per week for 40 minutes per session ) produced no fat loss! On the other hand, the interval training group in the same study lost several kilos.

Traditional cardio is a waste of time. Inefficient and ineffective, possibly. You are much better to focus on proper nutrition fat loss and strength and interval exercises.

And you certainly do not have to do extreme amounts of cardio. However, some people end up having their activities fat loss to extremes. Making healthy, inefficient and excessive election.

For example, a reader wrote to me about 7 hours of cardio per week did. He wondered why she was not losing fat. That is an extreme amount of slow and steady cardio. Something that would never advise a fat loss program. And she still wanted to do more!

I told him no way. If 7 hours per week does’t work for you, why else ? With that mentality, you end up spending every non-working waking minute doing cardio. What kind of life is that?

Another reader wrote about the dangers of too low calorie diet…

” I’m on the road to weight loss again. Realized that I was not eating enough calories (1000 kcal / day). Filled with vegetables is good ( and I love ), but have no calories. Eating nuts / almonds helped me get there. Comer 1500 + is where I have to be to lose weight and maintain my energy. was I dropped about 3 pounds this week. ”
In most people, there will be the need to do more, eat less, or even more obsessed with food and exercise when you are trying to reach a fitness or fat loss goal.

But taking eating and working out the ends is often counterproductive in the long run and, frankly unhealthy.

And most unfortunate is that the reader who wrote me about your 7 hours of aerobic training ineffective, was skeptical of the strength and interval training, because not believed to contain enough cardio.

But really, how much could be enough for this woman ? 7 hours was not getting results. What do you want ? 10 hours ?

We must understand that cardio is not the alpha and omega of the fat loss programs. There are many ways to burn fat and calories, not just by spending 60 minutes on an elliptical machine.

All you need are 3 training sessions per week of 45 minutes per session. Do 20 minutes of training in total body strength followed by 20 minutes of interval training. Then spend the rest of your week stay active through fun activities and focus on natural whole foods nutrition for fat loss. No more extreme cardio !
