Body builders such as Kenneth Williams, iron man triathletes like Brendan Brazier and marathon record setters such as Fiona Oaks prove that optimum athletic performance can still be achieved with a vegan diet. Let’s take a dive into some of the nutrients that can be assessed.

Why and how to use protein shakes when dieting.

Why and how to use protein shakes when dieting.

Posted by LIAM KINGSWELL

AUTHOR: Gareth Sapstead: MYOBAND Fitness Director  When it comes to losing weight then it's as simple as calories in versus calories out (CICO). Essentially, if you want to lose weight then you need to “do more and eat less”. Scientifically this is covered in the first two laws of thermodynamics. Real-world evidence for this can be seen in those who’ve lost weight following a calorie-restricted diet of Oreo Thins, Jaffa cakes and Pepsi light! It’s not smart, but eating what you’d like while tracking just your calorie intake is a guaranteed way to lose weight.   However, when it comes...

The intra-workout carbohydrate you need!

The intra-workout carbohydrate you need!

Posted by PROPROTEIN LTD ADMIN

 AUTHOR: Fitness Director - Gareth Sapstead In the previous article we covered the best source of amino acids to take during your workouts, and how casein hydrolysate represents the gold-standard of intra-workout protein juices. You may recall how we mentioned briefly that in order to support those amino acids in getting to work then you need to manage insulin.  Insulin is one of the body’s most anabolic hormones and among other things acts to reduce protein breakdown. It also controls the uptake of those important amino acids, like the hydrolysed casein that powers Oblivion. This is easy to do after...

Snack Away! The Best Post-workout Snacks – Revealed

Working out makes us feel better, especially if you’re well on the way to hitting your goals or are already achieving them (way to go if you are!) Whether you’ve just lifted your heaviest set yet, completed your longest circuit or have run your fastest lap, your body’s going to be feeling it – from the second you stop, to the minutes and hours that follow afterwards. While most people tend to make sure they fuel their bodies with a protein snack or juice before they work out, not as many pay as much attention to what they give their bodies post-workout (perhaps it’s because of pure exhaustion or elation...

Welcome to the Moringa vs Matcha contest! Matcha has been on the scene for some time now, but whether you are aware of it or not, it has a trending little rival trying to claim its spotlight….

Well, let's put both contenders to the test and get some clarity on this issue. May the best green powder win!

Why should we be eating more plant-based?

Why should we be eating more plant-based?

Posted by PROPROTEIN LTD ADMIN

Good question! To many people, the thought of having a meal without any meat just seems completely out of reach! “I’ll lack protein in my diet”, “I won’t feel full” and “How do you even cook with pulses and beans?” are statements and questions that are heard far too often! Plant-based does not mean cutting all sources from animals out of your diet. It’s just the suggestion of having one, two or as many days as you can, eating more of a variety of protein sources.

The Wonder Of "Carb Absorption Blockers" For Weight Loss

The Wonder Of "Carb Absorption Blockers" For Weight Loss

Posted by PROPROTEIN LTD ADMIN

For centuries we have been consuming carbohydrates (carbs) and to this day they still hold a dear place in our hearts and on our plates; and rightly so as they are in almost everything we consume in our diets, they taste great and they are a preferred energy source for the human body. However, in recent times we have discovered and are still uncovering the hard-hitting truth that our daily bread can become a daily problem on our waistlines. So, what could be a solution? 

Yes, you guessed it… ‘Carb Absorption Blockers’! Sounds too good to be true, right?

Protein Juice vs Protein Shake

Protein Juice vs Protein Shake

Posted by PROPROTEIN LTD ADMIN

Protein is your greatest muscle-building tool, so you want to make sure you handle it right. One popular way to top off your protein intake is through a drink, either a shake or juice. But what’s the difference and how do you use it for best results? Today, we here at MYOBAND weigh in on the juice vs shake debate, covering both options. Research has shown that protein supplements significantly improve muscle size and strength in healthy adults who perform resistance exercise training.

How to optimise your intra-workout supplementation

How to optimise your intra-workout supplementation

Posted by PROPROTEIN LTD ADMIN

Arguably the best time to ingest amino acids (for example, the BCAA’s and EAA’s) are during your strength and bodybuilding workouts. Sure, if you’re eating cheeseburgers and candy bars 24-7 then you might want to look at those first before concerning yourself with what amino acids to drink and when. But, if the rest of your day is in order and you’re truly looking to optimise your workout results then you’ll want to know what will truly give you the edge.

How to choose a healthy protein bar!

Posted by PROPROTEIN LTD ADMIN

Author: Kate Searl - Marketing editor   Protein consumption - amount and timing Regardless if you want to build muscle or not, protein is an essential part of the human diet. It is one of three macronutrients which are crucial for every day bodily functions and structure. Consuming a higher protein-rich diet has shown to suppress the feeling of hunger and also speed up metabolism, thus increasing the amount of calories burnt (4). Studies show that 0.75g of protein per kilogram of bodyweight is sufficient alongside regular exercise (1). Increased physical activity will increase your daily protein requirements as your...

Is late-night snacking bad for fat loss?

Is late-night snacking bad for fat loss?

Posted by PROPROTEIN LTD ADMIN

Author: Gareth Sapstead - Fitness Director A calorie at 7.59pm is the same as a calorie at 8.01pm, and contrary to what some believe there’s no magical time where every calorie suddenly gets stored as fat. Saying that a calorie at 8.01pm will make you gain fat, is kind of like saying eating fat will make you gain fat, something we all hopefully know to be incorrect.   Eating of fats, carbohydrates, and even protein (albeit to a lesser degree) will cause you gain weight if you OVEREAT them. Your macronutrients (carbs, fat, protein, alcohol) make up your total calorie...

Author: Gareth Sapstead - Fitness Director Office parties, family dinners and fun festivities. It’s that time of year where for most of us routine goes out of the window and the extra calories start to sneak in.  Over the next month or so most of us will be exposed to more high-sugar and ultra-processed foods than the entire rest of the year. It’s tempting, and if you have strong willpower then you’ll manage to resist it getting out of hand. That being said, studies do indeed confirm that the key to a healthy sustainable diet is giving yourself permission to...
