    I don't necessarily disagree. But it does take work to make sure you're getting complete proteins, because all protein sources are actually not created equally in terms of the full spectrum of amino acids. There is a lot more information at the link above, regarding protein sources.

    NO Supplements.....eat real clean food! Eat what nature offers.

    We didn't knock them. We said you're better off getting your nutritional needs from real food, which is true. We also said shop carefully, be a skeptical consumer, if you do decide that you might benefit from them. No harm in that.

    thank you so much for this, ever since i started working out more i'd been wondering if i should do protein shakes and all that stuff, what i did was, since i felt like my body WAS asking for more protein, i decided to quit being a vegetarian after 10 years, i've made a lot of changes and it hasn't been easy, but it felt right to be eating actual food rather than just powder, like you guys said, watching this just confirmed that i made the right decision, thank you so much!!!

    This video solidified my respect for you guys and I'm so happy I found your channel! I don't like a lot of professional youtube channels that do workouts compared to just bloggers because I find the professionals often feel fake so I don't get the same motivation I get from a blogger. But you guys are awesome and I'm pretty sure you'll be my basis for workouts from now on!

    Dude. I'm 20 now. I'm 154 with 6% body fat. You don't need to worry so much about protien seriously. I eat like a typical person, I don't go out buying supplements or whey protein. But at the same time i'm not eating fast food. I just eat basic meals from home or I'll buy food from restaurants that aren't name brands and eat there. There's days I probably don't eat enough protein or calories because I'm too busy, but that hasn't effected me at all. Don't stress to much about protein!

    Guys, you are just reading my mind - lately I was wondering about protein and whether I need it to recover after workout. My "problem" is that I train up to 2 time per day and I thought that I need something to recover. I will just try to eat more meat. Thank I lot for this video. I'm simply loving all of your videos - they are so various and I can train different thing every day depending on my mood and condition. Love you! Don't stop to do what you are doing, you're the best ;)

    Thank you so much for this video!!! I was really confused as far as these proteins are concerned. There is so much false info about it on the Internet. Now I know that I don't really need that powder and I'm glad that I didn't buy it. What I do instead is to eat eggs, cottage cheese, natural youghurt and some meat as well as veggies :)

  • @mittsommar
    @mittsommar 11 лет назад

    Thank you so much for this! I've been wondering for so long about this protein powder 'craze'. Drinking it in shakes and smoothies, cooking with it, putting it in coffee even... It's everywhere. You get to a point where you start believing you need to get it too. The gym I go to even has informational posters on their walls that explain why you need to add extra protein to your diet. Again, thanks guys for clearing that up! :)

I have been always wandering if protein powder is supposed to wondrously boost up your work-out performance, and the question of "am I not doing enough for myself by not taking in protein powder" always lingered in my head, but really great to know that I am off better without it by taking in protein from actual food! Keep up the great work!!

    I only take a Protien shake immediately after a workout. This is only because of the time it takes between getting to the gym and then getting home to get a meal as I'm short on time. Other than that and a multi-vitamin once a day (though this is due to a problem I have unrelated to working out) that's all I take. I completely agree that all these supplements are a waste of money!

    @jaywood1313 11 лет назад

    You guys really know your stuff. I love the way you go with the natural healthy side of weight loss. The only thing that I simi disagree with that calories are calories. Because most dietitians will give different diets to diffrent people based on there body. There was an article talking about good carbs and bad carbs. Or good fats and bad fats. I think if calories are just calories then you could just eat MC Donalds all the time just less portions. But it still wouldn't be a healthy life style.

    I agree with what you said in the video, I study food engineering and recently took a class about food chemistry, there I studied protein! :D I dont' know if vegans know about this or for anyone that doesn't know, there are essential and non essential amino acids. We need to consum the essential ones which are mostly found in meat, plants have amino acids but mostly they have the non essential ones. Difference is we synthesize the non essential. Hoped that helped anyone :)

  • @blurawker
    @blurawker 11 лет назад

    On the gnc website they had this questionaire and it said for me to consume 126-130 grams of protein. I documented my protein intake before I was actually aware of how much I was supposed to consume and I was definitely not consuming enough protein and I weight train 4 times a week and cardio 6 times a week. Now that I know how much I need, it definitely helped. The only time I make a protein shake is when I am rushing out if I'm late for class and I always add spinach, blueberries & a banana!

    I was just at Target today looking at whey protein powders, and then I thought, “ wait, do I really need it? Or am I just buying it cuz I see everyone drinks it?” I’ve lost 17 lbs in 2 months by just eating healthier and being active ( doing FitnessBlender video workouts). So this video was very helpful and informative! Thanks guys ❤️👍💪🤗

    You two are way too cool! Thanks for this video! =) So refreshing to hear the facts, I've always thought and said the same thing in regards to protein supplements vs real protein from food in your diet. It makes sense and it actually works. Its all about being healthy and not relying on foods/supplements that aren't real foods. Really enjoyed this video =)

    Danel and Kelly, I wonder, should I excercise when I am sleepy or should I just go to bed. Ever since my schedule became more busy, I come home later and would feel so tired (Physically and mentally). However, despite my fatigue, I fight it and I do one of your short workouts rather than the 20 to 30 minute ones. The only thing tho is I would go to sleep later too, and they do say sleep is also important to avoid gaining weght. What should I do?!

But my question is what do you suggest for after workout drink... I take 3/4 scoop of protein powder in shake with fresh or frozen fruits after a run and 1 scoop after weights!!!
    And thank you for all your videos... I have followed any exercise channel until yours!!! For some reason I just like the way you do your videos:)))

    • @asukachan07
      @asukachan07 9 лет назад +2

      This is a very late reply... Hopefully you got to check with your doctor and figured it out. I'd say make sure you're getting your macros (protein, carbs, fat) and getting enough calories everyday. Don't work out every day(unless you're an athlete), take breaks especially after strength training. Get as much fresh air and sunshine as you can. Sleep well, do things that make you happy.
      All the best!

  • @abbalina11

    I have a question! Is there anything to the notion that there are specific foods that are best to eat before or after a workout? Is it important to have protein after a workout (like a glass of milk, for example) or is this another workout myth? What about good food to eat before a workout, especially in the morning? Thanks! Love the videos!

    The best quality sources of protein for our body, in fact the cleanest too are superfoods such as hemp, bee pollen and even Goji berries so please don't provide the misinformtaion that only meat is the best quality. The fact is it is so difficult to get the protein out of the meat for our body to use (which is detrimental to our health) whereas these other, more pure and cleaner sources i mentioned actually can be used by our bodies easily.

    I have been taking a protein supplement powder post-workout for quite a while after doing P90X for a little while. I didn't buy their beachbody powder, but I suppose I got brainwashed into thinking that the supplement would be good post-workout. I somewhat like the taste of the protein supplement that I currently take, so I'm going to check what's in it and if it's still good -- no sweeteners -- I might significantly reduce the amount of protein that I'm taking and use it differently as a tasty reward. Thanks for sharing this information.
