What about protein powders???\u00a0<\/strong>We get this question a TON.\u00a0Check out this video where we discuss protein powders<\/a>, what kind to use, how to use them, some recipes, and more. You can also listen anywhere you listen to podcasts.


We’ve relaxed our stance on protein powders!<\/strong>\u00a0In the past we recommended real food over powders every time. We’ve re-evaluated the benefits of certain protein powders. We also acknowledge the convenience of using protein powders and making this work in a modern lifestyle. We also have a ton of positive feedback from clients and people in our community.


There are 2 main places and reasons for protein shakes:<\/strong>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To replace a meal when you don’t have time but still want some good protein and fat.

    <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Post workout nutrition.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Protein shakes are GREAT as a complement to a real food way of eating<\/strong>.<\/span>\u00a0They should NOT make up the majority of your nutrition.<\/strong>


    The 2 sources of protein we recommend are:
    <\/span><\/strong>
    <\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Whey protein isolate.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0This is concentrated whey protein that is about 95% protein and the rest casein and\/or lactose. It has a complete amino acid profile and is great for performance, recovery, and overall health.

      <\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Collagen hydrolysate<\/strong>.<\/span>\u00a0Collagen makes up about 33% of our body’s total protein. It is an integral part of hair, skin, nails, bone, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, joints, and cartilage. Supplementing with collagen helps you build a better body :)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n



      You can consume a low-carb version that is only made with coconut milk<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span>That way you’re getting protein + healthful fats. This gives you quality protein plus plenty of Medium Chain Triglycerides which are easy for your body to use for energy = fat-based energy, enhancing metabolic flexibility.
