Why do I need protein, and why use Whey?
There are 2 nutrients the body can’t store – one is water, the other is protein. When we are dehydrated we feel thirsty, unfortunately we have no sense to warn us when we are running low on protein. Your body needs protein for health and survival. Foods are classified as either carbohydrates, fats, or proteins. Carbs and fats are considered the culprits that cause us to gain unwanted weight – for this reason we need to limit how much of these we eat. By supplementing Whey you can receive life supporting protein without excess carbs and fats that lead to body fat gain.
How much protein should I eat?
World health authorities suggest around 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight for healthy adults as the minimum daily required intake. If exercising regularly or dieting then you’ll likely need more than this. Bodybuilders and athletes try to eat 2 to 3 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight, sometimes even more.
