Whey Protein

Whey protein is considered a “ complete protein ” in that it has all of the amino acids you need to sustain life . In the past , whey protein shakes were awful and gritty . Science has come a long way , however , in making these shakes a lot more tolerable .
Do they taste like your favorite milkshake topped with whipped cream and a cherry ? Hardly … but depending on the brand and the flavor , there are some really good choices out there that are actually pretty good . And , by adding some sugar-free flavored syrups ( like they use in coffee shops ), you can incorporate some good variety and make some very tasty shakes .
When choosing a Whey Protein to use in this diet , be sure to choose a brand that allows you to keep carbohydrates as low as possible ( no more than 2 grams per scoop ). Additionally , during this diet , you will want to keep fat as low as possible as well ( also no more than 2 grams per scoop ). This will ensure the best possible conditions for your weight loss goals .
Depending on your weight , you may need more than one scoop . If you were to take two scoops , just be sure that you are not exceeding 4 grams of carbohydrates . 4 grams of carbohydrates will not have much of an impact on your blood sugar .
As you will see , whey protein makes up a large component of The 3 Week Diet . For some , purchasing whey protein powder to make up many of their meals for the next 21 days may seem expensive , but when you consider that you can get all your meals for the day for about $ 10 , it is actually pretty cheap . Plus , you ’ ll find that a lot of time that is normally spent on cooking and eating meals is freed up , it will give you more time to take a walk or engage in other exercises .
