Is ‘Muscle Advance Whey Protein’ The Best Protein Powder For Weight Gain?

Fitness is a key word that everybody takes advantage of, or at least tries to. More than 300 million people around the world take dietary products to help them loose or gain weight. But, can we say that these man-made products are good for our body?

Whey Protein, a by-product of cheese manufactured from cow’s milk. Processed in a way that removes the water, fat and other substances to produce a substance that is about 90% protein and about 1% fat. A product so pure to the human health, that it has been proven to reduce the risk of diseases, as well as a possible supplementary treatment for several diseases. However, it may be responsible for some milk allergies.

Is Whey Protein the Best Protein Powder for Muscle Enhancement?

The answer is YES! Whey Protein is considered as one of the best supplements available in the market today. It has quickly reached the list of ‘must have bodybuilding supplements’, Whey protein has been a popular addition in the bodybuilding world and has helped many trainers move towards their goal. ”Whey Protein is a perfect protein” said Mr. Frank Lipmann, founder and director of eleven-eleven wellness center. He stated in an interview that it’s not only bodybuilders but also for women – “Whey protein shake for breakfast with greens and avocado or some other fat is the perfect way to start the day”. “It contains all the essential amino acids for a daily diet”. It also boosts the immune system by increasing your body’s production of glutathione, a powerful anti-oxidant essential for helping detoxification.

In general, Whey protein has a quicker absorption rate than some other protein. It helps to repair and rebuild the muscles after exercise. Women can also consume the same amount of Whey protein as men. Hormones of women are different as compared to men having really bulky muscles. I don’t see a reason why they shouldn’t adopt the consumption of whey protein as well.

How To Gain Weight

The muscle building diet requires a relatively large level of protein consumption that trainers have a hard time achieving. Whey protein powders achieve a measured protein source to bodybuilders, without the high saturated fat, that often accompanies other complete protein sources like beef and eggs. To gain 1 kg of weight, you need to consume 7000 calories more than you burn. Adding to 1000 calories per day, leads to a healthy weight gain of 0.5-1kg a week. Under the process of building muscles, it is required to have slower rate of gain to prevent gaining too much fat in the process.

I see many young adults in the gym working out and staying in shape, which is indeed a good sign. But when I personalized with the lads, I realized what was really happening; unsupervised teenagers consuming great amounts of protein shakes without feeling the need to exercise, which is not at all good for health. In fact, it is considered very dangerous. Daily exercise is necessary with these processed products. It can lead to severe health problems, like unsupported liver conditions. Men and women both are being considered in this case.
