Achieve Spectacular Results in Weight Loss, fitness and Build Bone
Density
Everyone wants to be their ideal weight
and to be healthy. With the baby boomers, like me,
finding it harder and harder to rev up our metabolism for
the desired weight loss it can leave you frustrated. I
have always taken care of my body and exercised, but when I
reached “that age” (around 40) I noticed how difficult it
was.
Even though I thought I was eating right and
exercising I found myself almost 20 pounds overweight.
To top it off I had developed osteoporosis. It didn’t
happen overnight of course and when I was weighed at my
doctors I though the scale was incorrect! It wasn’t;
oh brother, I had to do something. Today I have
reversed the osteoporosis and my weight loss is in the
normal range. You can do it also.
The two things that will rev your
metabolism for weight loss, and help fight loss of bone
density, besides calcium, are protein and weight lifting.
It’s really quite simple, muscle burns fat and muscle also
builds bone density because you must stress both for them to
grow and maintain. Diet isn’t enough, restricting too
many calories isn’t going to work. You have to find a
healthy forever eating plan that suits you, add the protein
and weights and you will get fit and you will be building
bone density as an extra benefit.
Women are usually afraid of building
too much muscle with weights. This is a no worry topic
as you can never build that bulky type muscle because you
simply do not have the hormone testosterone that men have.
Its true there are professional women bodybuilders do have
quite a bit of muscle; this is from a very strict diet and
taking testosterone supplements. But for normal weight
loss you don’t have to worry.
Digestion is the key with protein
supplementation; you want your muscles to start utilizing
protein before and after exercise. Before exercise eat
a small handful of nuts and an apple or a low fat yogurt and
some berries. Afterwards, a smoothie with protein
works excellent or you can have any number of high protein
breakfasts. You will have the weight loss you desire
and your bone density will grow plus you will not be hungry.
Whey protein is an excellent source
because it contains branched chain amino acids, an
outstanding source of energy to help you achieve the desired
weight loss. In other words you can exercise longer
without feeling fatigued and when done you will recover
faster than without it. Whey protein also contains an
appetite suppressant called glycomacropeptide.
Glycomacropeptide aids the body in producing the protein
that is responsible for the feeling of fullness after you
eat.
Research has shown whey protein to have
positive effects on illnesses such as cancer, autoimmune
diseases, and osteoporosis and can supply quality protein
for those on gluten or wheat controlled diets. It also
has been found to help the body protect against viruses and
bacteria. I have a dairy intolerance but whey, even
though derived from dairy, does not bother me. Soy
protein is another option but remember soy will interfere
with thyroid function if you consume too much and if you are
trying to build muscle you need a lot of protein per day.
Another option is Hemp protein, an excellent source for
anyone, not just vegetarians!
Most people are deficient in protein requirements. You
should get almost get 1 gram per pound of body weight.
So many people eat high protein meals but they eat steaks,
hamburgers, fried chicken. They might be getting the
protein but they are also getting the fat.
