Cytosport Muscle Milk Review

Posted by Mr Supplement on April 19th, 2007

Cytosport Muscle MilkCytoSport Muscle Milk is a unique form of supplementation that promotes efficient fat burning, lean muscle growth and rapid recovery from intense exercise and weight training. It provides such a high degree of nourishment that it has been compared to mother’s milk.  Because it increases your body’s natural production of creatine, muscle milk provides maximum levels of creatine loading and storage. It encourages your body to activate the “lean lipids” that step up your body’s metabolism and promote protein absorption.
 
Cytosport produces one of the most popular muscle milks on the market. Cytosport Muscle Milk provides a protein blend that can be used throughout the day or at bedtime. The lean lipids in Muscle Milk help you achieve leaner more powerful muscles.

Cytosport Muscle milk is most effective if it is taken at 30 minutes to two hours before working out. Some bodybuilders drink it within one hour after workouts to maximize protein absorption and promote muscle recovery, however that may not be necessary.  One serving of Muscle Milk before bed helps promote more anabolic sleep time.

The proteins in Cytosport muscle milk are whey and casein which have been shown in several studies to be the best protein blend for building lean muscle and losing fat. Muscle milk contains no trans fat and is very low in saturated fat.

Muscle milk contains a type of polyunsaturated fatty acids which are less likely to be stored as fat. A unique manufacturing method makes these lipids function even more effectively. Muscle Milk also has anti-inflammatory qualities and it increases the body’s ability to retain minerals.

Recent research suggests that engineered lipids, when taken before and during workouts, promote leanness. It is thought that these calories are used for workout energy with less deposited as fat.

Many bodybuilders have reported that Muscle Milk has shown to be effective, especially for those who have had difficulty adding on muscle. Athletes and body builders report seeing positive benefits from muscle milk in two months or less. The timing of the results will vary from person to person.

One reason why Cytosport Muscle Milk has become so popular is that it is considered to be the best tasting and fastest recovery product that they have ever tried and that it mixes great and tastes like a milkshake. No blender is required to mix Cytosport Muscle Milk. It is so light that you can easily mix it in a shaker, which makes this supplement easy to transport and easy to use in a variety of environments, including the gym.

To use it, mix two scoops of the powder into 10-12 ounces of water. You can also mix it with low fat milk and then it tastes like a “real” milk shake. Cytosport Muscle Milk comes in 20 flavors. You can also get muscle milk bars and muscle milk chocolate pudding.

If you are in the market for a product that will give added zest to your workouts and boost your muscle mass, you should give this product a try.

Can Soy Protein Shakes Make A Difference?

Posted by Mr Supplement on April 17th, 2007

Soy protein shakes have become increasingly popular in recent years among people who want to heighten their physical fitness levels, increase their stamina or improve their overall health. They are often recommended by dieticians for people who are trying to lose weight because soy is naturally low in calories. It can also help decrease the amount of fat that your body stores. Soy protein helps control insulin levels which can help reduce the sugar cravings that make it difficult to stay on a weight loss plan.  Most people who are lactose intolerant find that soy milk is easy to digest.

Body builders and athletes who want stronger muscles and who want to increase their muscle mass often make soy protein shakes a part of their fitness regimen. People who are just beginning a physical fitness regimen find that soy boosts energy levels and that makes it easier to become motivated to exercise.

What Can A Whey Protein Shake Do For You?

Posted by Mr Supplement on April 16th, 2007

Whey protein shakes provide unique benefits for bodybuilders, athletes and anybody else who is interested in losing fat and increasing muscle mass. Many bodybuilders prefer whey shakes over any other variety of protein supplement. People involved in intense training need significant amounts of protein in their diets because the body has to have a constant flow of protein in order to build muscle mass.

According to the Whey Protein Institute, whey is a pure and natural form of protein that comes from cow’s milk that is used during the cheese making process. Whey is considered safe for use by people of all ages. Although whey has been used for hundreds of years, it has gained popularity in the last 20 years as more and more bodybuilder and athletes have made it their “protein of choice.”  It also can provide substantial benefits to people who aren’t bodybuilders.

Homemade Protein Shakes

Posted by Mr Supplement on April 1st, 2007

Homemade protein shakeBecause protein powders have an unpleasant taste, many people prefer to use the powders to make homemade shakes. If you are taking protein shakes three times a day (as many people do) you will quickly become bored if you don’t experiment with a variety of flavor combinations. And if you don’t stay on your program, you will not get the desired results from your muscle building regimen.

The variety of protein shakes that you can make is as vast as your imagination. It is important to choose your ingredients carefully because you don’t want to add extra fats and calories. It is best to use only natural ingredients. For instance, if you use peanut butter to make a shake you should use natural peanut butter instead of the processed kind. Natural peanut butter has high protein content and also contains natural fats that contribute to a healthy diet plan.
