I’ve started exercising\dieting. I have got my diet in a decent enough order but wanted to add more protein to my diet, and I was thinking protein shakes. I mostly like doing cardio, but want to do weights just to tone up. Would you recommend any protein shakes?

I have done weights before, but never used protein shakes so don’t know a lot about them. I was at Holland and Barrett and was advised to get “good and natural soya protein.” Has anyone here used that?

Does anyone here use anything different or recommend something else? Bare in mind I don’t want to bulk up, I just want to loose weight and tone.

Congratulations on beginning your journey toward being a fit individual.

Unless you are doing a decent level of weight training, protein shakes are not required. Protein shakes are suppose to supplement your diet. First and foremost, consume as much protein as possible through solid, natural foods. Typical Punjabi diet does have a decent amount of protein. Things are daal, sholey, raajmah are full of protein. Good quality whole wheat flour (with germ) will have some protein in it as well.

I was at Holland and Barrett and was advised to get “good and natural soya protein.” Has anyone here used that?
If you do decide to start consuming protein shakes, stay away from soya. Get whey isolate protein as it is milk based and very high quality. But it will be expensive. Here in Canada a 5lb tub can cost around $100. It is considered to be the highest quality protein powder you can get.
Bare in mind I don’t want to bulk up, I just want to loose weight and tone.
Please drop this idea. Muscle only grows or shrinks; only gets stronger or weaker; there is no 'toning' of a muscle. The amount of 'toning' you will see will depend directly and only on the amount of fat you have. Less fat = more muscle visible = more 'toned' look.

The general rule of thumb is

- if you want to build maximal strength then stick to 3-5 rep range

- if you want to put on muscle mass then stick to 8-10rep range

- if you want to build stamina then stick to 12-15 rep range (or higher)

8-10 rep range is generally sufficient for most. You will gain strength as you go and stamina as well. Muscle mass will increase naturally as a consequence.

Genetics also play a big part in all this. Some people have a tough time getting very lean and some have a tough time gaining mass. As long as you are exercising and keeping a decent level of strength, that's all that matters. Training should be functional, meaning that it should makes things you do in your daily life easier. Avoid training for looks (although I have been guilty of this at times myself)

I have been using this protein for about 6 months now . Strongly recommend it and believe in it. 

I have also started to distribute it at cost price. 

Call Natures Sunshine on 01952 671600 Quoting my Account number 402119 for 30% off all telephone orders and ask to become a Preferred Customer. 

www.naturessunshine.co.uk Take a look at the products. I recommend SYNER PROTEIN, TNT for nutrient & SOLSTIC for energy. 

Dr. James Scala, a renowned nutritionist to astronauts, Olympic athletes and explorers, requiring specialist diets, was commissioned by Nature’s Sunshine to design a very special protein supplement called ‘Syner-Protein’.

This unique formulation of soya protein provides all the 8 essential amino acids, together with histidine and is enriched with cruciferous vegetables, vitamins and minerals and herbs which provides antioxidant protection against free radical damage to the body. 

Convenient and simple to make and very healthy too.

From the first day of use many people notice improved levels of energy & stamina. This pure complete source of protein provides your body with the essential food which your body needs to repair tissue.

SynerProtein - high protein drink mix is an excellent dietary supplement for:-

building muscle

repairing body tissues (very important for athletes - use within one hour before training/exercise and within 15 minutes after).

maintaining sufficient protein intake for expectant mothers and

vegetarians

regaining health and strength following convalescence

or for anyone desiring the health benefits derived from extra protein in their diet.

beauty - nature's facelift

as a meal replacement for slimmers

SynerProtein is:-

Gluten-free,

Wheat-free

Yeast-free.

Dairy free

Fat free

Certified non-GMO

No animal derivatives

Essential vitamins anti-oxidants and minerals included

 

When you look in the mirror you see protein.  More than 95% of our body is made up of it – hair, skin, nails, bones and muscles.  In fact protein’s most important function is building and repairing tissue.  Many hormones, including insulin and growth hormones consist of protein, as do enzymes that aid metabolic reactions.  We also need protein for energy. 

This drink is also nature’s face-lift – notice how firm your skin becomes!!

Protein is among the most important nutrients in the maintenance of health and vitality, and is of critical importance to the formation and growth of all body tissues, particularly the hair, nails, skin, muscles, and internal organs, including the brain and heart.

Amino acids from protein are necessary for the creation of neurotransmitter, the chemicals that allow nerve cells to communicate with each other.

Protein is also necessary for the production of hormones associated with healthy growth, metabolic rate, and sexual development. 

In addition, protein assists in the production of antibodies, enzymes, breast milk, and blood cells. 

Of course, protein is also a source of fuel for the body, generating energy and heat.

Syner-Protein helps the body produce neurotransmitters which in turn help alleviate stress,

reduce depression,

treat insomnia,

control hyperactivity in children and

help stabilize high blood pressure - very important.

Protein needs increase as a result of bodily stresses:-

such as haemorrhage

pregnancy

prolonged illness

excessive nervous stress

strenuous physical activity

surgery, and wounds.

A protein deficiency can lead to abnormal growth and tissue development, particularly affecting hair, nails, skin, and muscles. Protein deficiency can prevent a child from achieving his potential physical stature.

Protein deficiency can cause a loss of energy and stamina, impaired healing of wounds, mental depression, weakened immunity, and slowed recovery from illness.

SynerProtein is made with high-quality soy protein (certified non GM).

Soy is the only vegetable containing all 8 essential amino acids, making it acomplete protein.

Soy is also rich in vitamin B, calcium and the essential fatty acids, linoleic and linolenic.

Studies show soy lowers cholesterol very effectively.

Research shows soy contains isoflavones, powerful antioxidants which provide special hormone-mimicking actions.

Soy isoflavones have been shown to block hormone receptor sites, thus inhibiting the formation of hormone dependent cancers such as breast, cervical, ovarian and prostate cancer.

Isoflavones have also been shown to stop and even reverse the growth of these cancers. Other studies suggest the hormone-like action of isoflavones may alleviate some side effects associated with menopause and may slow the development of osteoporosis.

Furthermore, recent scientific studies show promising results using soy isoflavones to prevent hair loss.

Syner-Protein provides the following nutrients:

Vitamin A (palmitate)

Vitamin B1 (thiamine hydrochloride)

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride)

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)

Calcium (di-calcium phosphate)

Chromium (amino acid chelate)

Iron (ferrous fumarate)

Lecithin

Magnesium (oxide)

Niacinamide

Pantothenic acid (calcium pantothenate)

Potassium (iodide)

 

All in a base of our unique 'SynerPro' cruciferous vegetables and herbs blend - Cruciferous vegetables, which get their name from having cross-shaped flowers, contain cancer-fighting substances called indoles which have been shown to balance hormones,

eliminate toxins from the liver and intestines,

increase immunity, and prevent free radical damage.

The SynerPro herb blend provides a variety of phytochemicals, including grapefruit and orange bioflavonoids which protect capillaries, help prevent bruising, and multiply the effectiveness of vitamin C. 

Bioflavonoids also possess potent anti-allergy, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. 

This unique herb blend is also rich in polyphenol catechins. 

This herbal food blend contains:-

powdered broccoli,

cabbage,

carrot,

Chinese cabbage,

hesperidin,

red beet,

rosemary,

tomato,

turmeric,

watercress

grapefruit and orange bioflavonoids.

Typical Amino Acid Profile per serving of SynerProtein:-

Histidine - 360mg

Phenylalanine - 743mg

Isoleucine - 731mg

Threonine – 563mg

Leucine - 1194mg

Trytophan - 214mg

Lysine - 957mg Valine - 743mg

Methionine - 405mg

 

Syner-Protein comes in two flavours – vanilla and chocolate (really does taste of chocolate) and can be mixed with whatever takes your fancy – fruit juice, water, milk.

Mix one scoop of SynerProtein with either water, semi-skimmed milk or fruit juice.

One serving supplies 18 grams of soya protein.  

It is perfect as a breakfast meal, quick meal replacement, for slimmers (low in calories) and athletes.  

Use Syner-Protein within one hour of training and within 15 minutes after exercise.

Soya is the only vegetable containing all 8 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. This nutritional supplement is also rich in vitamin B, calcium and the essential fatty acids, linoleic and linolenic. In addition, soya contains substances that provide special hormone-mimicking actions that have been shown to block hormone receptor sites, thus inhibiting the formation of hormone-dependent cancers such as breast and prostate cancer. Other studies show that this nutritional supplement lowers cholesterol very effectively. Furthermore, research has shown that daily intake Syner Protein made from soya contributes to markedly higher bone density.

The industry is bombarded with Protein supplements, many of which are well marketed products with attractive labels but manufactured with substandard ingredients. 

SynerProtein is a unique first-class protein supplement using the finest ingredients and made to the highest quality control standards, with the added nutritious advantage ofcruciferous vegetables with antioxidant benefits.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
