THE 4 BEST TYPES OF PROTEIN FOR MUSCLE GROWTH

PROTEIN that magic word that the vast majority of the athletes consider amazing, for all of us protein intake is a big deal, for someone that is aiming to achieve specific fitness goals is fantastic.

I always get this question at the gym, at work and even some cab drivers have asked me the same, what is the best type of protein for muscle growth?
The answer to this is not easy, it all depends on how it works for you, but still, I want to give you the best answer as possible so I will start with the most common types of protein sources and protein powder you can find practically anywhere.

Protein Powder



WHEY PROTEIN is by far one of the most popular products in the market, there are way too many brands and flavours available that is really hard to choose the best, so instead of creating a product review out of this let's break the basics of this product, whey comes from milk, during the process of cheese making there is a liquid that separates itself from all the solids, the problem with this for some people is that whey, as the majority of the dairy-based products contains lactose, a type of sugar hard to digest for some people.
The use of whey protein can help your muscles for both purposes, recover from training and muscle growth, protein from whey is usually digested very quickly and contains three basic forms of amino acids, branched-chained amino acids (BCAA's) which are Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine, which play a great role on muscle growth.
But is not all beauty about whey protein, some of the big commercial brands contain a big deal of sugars and fat that are not great for your health.

BEEF PROTEIN is also a cool product you can easily find pretty much anywhere in North America, basically comes from the cow, pork, bison and lamb meat, and there are lots of great things about this one. Back in the day, you got your protein from a big, fat and awesome steak, but who has the time to cook it every day? Fortunately, now you can find many beef protein brands in almost every nutrition or supplements store.

The really cool thing is that is really low on carbs, almost no sugar or other stuff you could find in your whey protein powders.


VEGAN PROTEIN regularly comes from soy and other beans and other legumes, hemp,  rice, almonds and other nuts, these products are quite popular among vegan athletes, vegetarian protein powders contain all of the essential muscle-building components needed to get the results you want. For some people is hard to believe they can get all the nutrients they need to get stronger from vegan sources, but the truth is vegan protein powders contain the right amount of proteins and amino's you need.
If you don't believe me just give it a try for 90 days and you will see the results.

Natural Protein Sources


NATURAL NON PROCESSED, we always promote the best ways to achieve your best and to be honest there is no better way to get the right results other than eating real food, you can choose from literally hundreds of options and easily cover all your needs. Natural is always better when I say natural I mean it if you want to excel your own standards you have to raise them.
Look, I know is hard to eat lots of protein from natural sources and protein powders came to make our lives easy, all I can say is I saw real changes when I switched from powders to real food, I got stronger, not bigger but really defined.

It all depends on how bad you want it.

THE FAMOUS PALEO DIET

Nowadays is very common to see health problems like obesity, diabetes, also heart problems such as hypertension and other degenerative conditions are among the most common ones, our sedentary lives are to blame on this.  But what if we could correct this condition by simply changing the way we eat, that principle is exactly what the paleo or paleolithic diet is based on, cutting all modern foods, processed, starch, fat, flour and sugar based packed foods, but not only that, to get into paleo you have to go back to all hunted and gathered foods that our ancestors used to eat.
