Creatine Diet
When weight training, it is important to have a strict diet. You may be slim and trying to gain weight and muscle, or you may be chubby and want to reduce fat and gain more muscle.
Although creatine is a great supplement to help you build your muscle, without a good diet it is simply not as effective. To maximise your muscle endurance and size while taking creatine a high protein diet is highly recommended.
Some high protein foods are;
- chicken
- turkey
- lean meats and beef
- fish
- egg whites
So how much much protein should there be in a high protein diet?
Experts say, anywhere from 0.5 grams to 2 grams per pound of bodyweight. So basically, if you are 160lbs, eat roughly 160 grams of protein each and every day, whether you have trained that day or not.
How am I supposed to each that much protein a day!?
You may eat high protein foods all day, but it is difficult to stick with it when your on the move and at work, but an easier way is to take protein supplements. They are mostly powder based just like creatine, and can be mixed with fruit juice. The average protein supplement provides over 20 grams in each serving, and even up to 30 grams.

Hi! My husband is trying to loose weight at the moment. He is walking 6 miles a day and is eating healthily. He takes Cod Liver Oil Tablets everyday but he still doesn’t feel like its helping him. Should he take Multi Vitamins instead to give him a boost or could he take the two together?
Thanks

Lose inches of fat and cellulite in less than 30 days with Alkaline Diet Detox.
Order today at www.alkalinedietdetox.com. The foods we eat are over acidic and fat loves acid. To lose weight, we need to alkalize our body and flush the acid. It’s that easy.

Unfortunately, it seems that most protein supplement powders have that heavy whey taste. I guess it’s not really a whey taste as even the soy products have it.
Either way, I’ve had to find other ways to supplement my diet.

Hey Marsh Gabin:
I lose the taste of Syntha-6. definitely not heavy.. no need for a mixer.. just a tall glass and a butterknife and it mixes smooth. Whey and Casein proteins.

Alas, there is a need to sacrifice flavor a little if you opt for the better whey protein mixes. Simply put, the better ones haven’t been “impurified” with sugars and sweeteners - which admittedly help flavor, but do next-to-nothing in nutritional value.
Just know that if the protein powder you’re consuming isn’t tasting too appeal, then you can look forward to some extra special results when you combine it with a good workout schedule and plenty of recovery time in-between.
If you’re scratching you’re ahead about the ‘good workout schedule’, this ought to help: http://www.honestmusclegain.com/hardgainer

I needed to lose weight and my friend told me about a self hypnosis recording that she had used on her MP3 player. She lost 3 stone. I used it and have lost 2 stone in 6 mths. I have no cravings and now enjoy healthy foods. I thought I’d share my source of success www.leadingminds.biz
