New to fitness |

I am new to working out and specifically paying more attention |
|
to what I eat. Since January I've lost around 30 pounds. At |
|
the moment I've kind of plateaued. My wife and I had a lot on |
|
our plates last week and did not get much exercise in. We've |
|
been doing well and going at least 4 to 5 times to walk on the |
|
treadmill. I'm interested in different workouts that other |
|
people do to help give me ideas as well. |
|
From a nutrition standpoint, I've been eating more protein as |
|
well as protein drinks in the morning. Not to sound gross, but |
|
I've got digestion issues that hit me almost 3 years ago out of |
|
the blue (probably stress related). According to the doctors, |
|
all is well, but it's not. |
|
Having said all that, with cutting out carbs almost entirely, |
|
and basing more on protein, do any of you have issues with |
|
increased amounts of protein? Wondering if I should lay off the |
|
shakes and protein added foods and stick to protein from meat, |
|
fish, chicken, etc. |
|
I know I should see a nutritionist, but I don't have time (make |
|
time) to go see one. So I guess I'm sort of self-medicating, so |
|
to speak. |
|
I appreciate any ideas and your time. |

I think protein shakes are good and there is some science behind |
|
taking in 30 grams of protein within 30 mins of waking that is |
|
supposed to increase your metabolism for the day. I sometimes do |
|
that if I don�t have time to eat. I wouldn�t drink them and eat |
|
something. Let that be my meal. Food protein is obviously better |
|
than shakes but I find it hard sometimes to get that meal in. |
|
When I train heavy I do uses the shakes to help fuel the |
|
muscles. As far as the digestion problem. Have you tried |
|
drinking apple cider vinegar? |

Hey Brothers, |
|
I can attest to the effects of stress on the body. I concur |
|
with Black Scout on the benefits of a good protein powder as |
|
well as apple cider vinegar. Perhaps a natural supplement would |
|
assist as well? I've had great success with Ashwagandha for |
|
Testosterone stabilization / boosting as well stress reduction |
|
and sleeping aid. Safe and all natural. Not expensive either. |

|
Another great supplement is l-arginine, l-orinithine. Aids in |
|
muscle recovery, growth hormone stabilization. Safe and |
|
effective. I'm partial to Swanson Vitamins for supps. purchase |
|
due to their quality and prices. Hope this helps! |
