Our Weight-Management Program utilizes the meal replacement concept-replacing two of your three daily meals with a low-calorie, but nutrition-packed soy protein shake (called Formula 1 Shake). The health benefits of soy include a potential decreased risk of cardiovascular disease with incorporation of 25 grams of soy to your daily diet.

This is extremely important, as heart disease is the number one cause of death in every developed country around the world. It's easy to get the benefits of soy with Formula 1 Shake. Simply mix Formula 1 Shake in your favorite beverage for breakfast and lunch/Dinner. Take Formulas 2 and 3 (Multivitamin-Mineral and Herbal tablets and Cell Activator) protein powder and afresh.

Most people begin with our QuickStart Program, which includes Formulas 1, 2 and 3 protein powder and afresh. If you often crave for food and feel lethargic, we recommend the Advanced Program which includes Total Control which contains appetite-controlling herbs and other ingredients that'll help you block cravings, boost energy and burn fats.

Although often suggested, in healthy persons with no underlying kidney disease, there is no evidence that higher protein intakes have adverse effects on the kidneys. As long as the intake of other nutrients is not reduced, there seems to be little harm in ingesting higher amounts of protein. ISSN asserts that 1.4 to 2 g of protein per kilogram of body weight daily for physically active healthy individuals“is not only safe, but may improve the training adaptations to exercise training”.

Protein requirements depend on the type and intensity of your workouts, the quality of the protein you eat, carbohydrate intake and daily energy expenditure. Endurance athletes: 1 to 1.6 g of protein per kilogram of body weight daily. Strength or power athletes: 1.6 to 2 g of protein per kilogram of body weight daily. Most people can - and will - meet their daily protein needs through regular food.

Remember that you are able to increase your protein intake “naturally” by eating more protein-rich foods such as egg-whites milk, yogurt, eggs, poultry, fish and lean red meat. Man-made foods are never as good as “real” or whole foods. BEST TIME TO TAKE PROTEIN POWDERS? 1. Breakfast. You have not eaten for approximately 8 hours and a protein shake is ideal.

2. Immediately post-workout. This is the most critical time, as after exercising your muscles need to rebuild and repair themselves. In other words, protein shakes at this time will aid recovery, preserve muscle mass and/or achieve muscle growth - particularly in combination with some carbohydrate. Protein shakes are especially advantageous here because solid protein/ food takes longer to digest. 3. Before your workout. The protein shake will help preserve muscle tissue by minimizing exercise induced catabolism (muscle breakdown).

It will also provide a small amount of energy. 4. Before bed. Consuming a protein shake at this time will attenuate the breakdown of protein that naturally takes place during sleep. This is a normal physiological process. However, if you are a hardgainer/ ectomorph and you are fighting to build muscle mass then then you may want to try to minimize any losses.

WHY USE PROTEIN POWDERS? Protein powders are an easy way to consume protein. Some protein powders/ shakes are formulated to be fast- or slow-acting. Whey protein is absorbed fastest and ideal post-workout, while a casein protein is absorbed more slowly and better taken before bed. Protein powders are high in branched-chain amino acids (these amino acids make up approx. Supplying the body with these amino acids post-workout may help spare muscles and other tissues from breakdown, increase protein synthesis, regulate blood sugar levels, reduce fatigue during exercise and aid in fat loss.

Supplementation may also help improve exercise performance, particularly in high-intensity, endurance exercise. Protein shakes/ protein powders are convenient. Most people are unable to make a meal immediately after exercising. Therefore, ready-to-drink shakes are an alternative. Dependent on the product, may be cost-efficient. Common sources of protein in protein shakes/ protein powders are milk, whey, casein, egg, and soy-based.
