Whey vs. Casein

Until now, proteins have been viewed from a quantitative aspect because they were considered inert and inactive. It’s time to reconsider the view: Proteins contain amino acids that are indeed powerful growth factors. You can only obtain the muscle building effect of proteins with qualitative approach, something that bodybuilders have neglected. What really matters is the number of feedings, the proper times and the dynamic manipulation of both the amount and the source of proteins. I’m going to show you how to take advantage of the pharmaceutical muscle-building effects of proteins.

Fast, Anabolic Proteins vs. Slow Anti-catabolic Ones

Whey and Casein are very closely related forms of proteins that are both derived from milk. Bodybuilders used to consider them interchangeable. Some argued that whey was superior to casein, while others claimed the opposite. As a result bodybuilders used either whey or casein but not both, with each camp thinking that it had found the very best protein. Whey and casein have two radically different but complementary muscle-building properties. Indeed, a recently published French study compared those properties and the results showed that oral intake of 30 grams of whey protein very rapidly increased the level of amino acids in the blood in healthy young subjects. Consequently, anabolism was boosted by 68 percent.

Unfortunately whey’s muscle-building potential is transient-the paired and important rise in blood amino acid level is followed by a quick fall-and the results also showed no significance anti-catabolic effects.

On the other hand, 30 grams of casein resulted in a delayed but long-lasting elevation of amino acid levels in the blood, while the anabolic boosting effect were 31 percent milder than those of whey. In fact, casein’s long-lasting, anti-catabolic effect was its main advantage.

Since whey and casein are very different, you should use whey whenever you want a strong and rapid boost of anabolism. It’s a superior protein to eat first thing in the morning and immediately after training. Casein is the best choice whenever you need long lasting anti-catabolic protection: for example at night.

Note that the qualities of being anabolic or anti-catabolic apply to more than skeletal muscles. The researchers measured both whole body protein synthesis and degradation, so we don’t know exactly how much the muscles have benefited from those favorable effects. Nevertheless, its obvious that muscle growth is faster in an anabolic or anti-catabolic environment than in a strongly catabolic situation. As the study involved untrained subjects, its likely that bodybuilders would have gotten even stronger effects because of their protein-hungry muscles.

This study demonstrates the importance of timing protein intake and choosing the right source of protein. The results bring us to another fundamental question" Why is whey so anabolic when casein is so anti-catabolic?

Blood levels of amino acids do not fluctuate that much during the day in healthy bodybuilders. Eating a meal rich in proteins elevates the amino acids level slightly but not much. Fasting during the night slightly reduces it. In that case catabolic hormones such as cortisol will rise and induce muscle proteolysis; that is the breakdown of protein. Some of the muscle’s amino acids will therefore pass into the blood, which helps sustain a constant blood amino acid level while you sleep. Consequently, blood amino acid levels are never very high or very low for very long-unless you fast for a prolonged period.

The term hyperglycemia means there’s too much glucose in the blood. You may be more familiar with the rem hypoglycemia, which describes a low blood glucose level. As with the blood amino acid level, glucose is closely controlled. Glycemia may rise after a high carb meal, but unless you suffer from diabetes, it will be brief and moderate. When you fast, your blood glucose level falls slightly. That triggers the manufacture of glucose from amino acids in both the liver and the kidneys, which boosts blood glucose levels. As a result your blood glucose levels are also never very high and never very low.

Similar to the terminology used for glucose, Hyperaminoacidemia occurs when blood amino levels are greatly increased, and Hypoaminoacidemia occurs when they are low. The key point for bodybuilders is that a Hyperaminoacidemia induced by an amino acid intake automatically triggers anabolism. Scientists have discovered that there are thresholds of amino acids in the blood: When you get past a certain level of elevation anabolism is triggered. As you can imagine, its no that easy to reach the threshold. Scientists use amino acid infusion.

As stated above, ven a meal that’s is rich in protein s is unlikely to induce a significant Hyperaminoacidemia. Proteins from foods are slow to digest, so their arrival in the blood is sustained but very slow, and consequently, the amino acid level in the blood rises slowly. Once is slightly elevated organs such as the liver remove those aminos from the blood. As they enter the blood slowly, the liver has no trouble keeping up. So the rise in blood amino acids is never as high as bodybuilders might wish. In contrast, the amino acids infusions given by scientists bypass the digestive track, and the level. Of blood amino acids increases quickly, which overwhelms the liver’s ability to extract amino acids from the blood, creating a condition of Hyperaminoacidemia. Growth is triggered by pharmacological means.

Until recently, it was almost impossible to induce a pharmacological Hyperaminoacidemia with food or supplements, so bodybuilders had to make do with more moderate physiological Hyperaminoacidemia. That’s a shame, as the stronger the Hyperaminoacidemia, the more powerful the anabolic drive. The arrival of predigested whey protein was a big breakthrough for the bodybuilding community, as it has the amazing property of inducing a quick sharp elevation of the amino acid level in the blood. In other words, it can trigger the strongest Hyperaminoacidemia possible.

By almost bypassing digestion, whey protein overwhelms the liver capacity for extracting amino acids from the blood. It affects your body in a pharmacological way that only amino acid infusion can duplicate.

That is not possible with casein. Its is slow digestion only products a physiological Hyperaminoacidemia, which means the amino acid level is high but within normal limits.

Meals rich in protein wont induce a pharmacological Hyperaminoacidemia, either as the digestion of protein is even slower than what occurs with casein because of the fibers, fats and other elements that delay digestion.

Long-Term Muscle Protection Against Catabolism

As the amount of whey you eat at a given time is limited, the fast and powerful arrival of amino acids is short-lived. When new amino acids stop arriving in the blood, the organs that extract them stop being overwhelmed and the blood levels of amino acids are brought back to normal. When that happens, the powerful effects of whey vanish. Anabolism falls and catabolism dominates again.

Casein does not produce such a rise and fall in blood amino acid levels due to its timed-release action. The blood level of amino acid s elevates slightly but for a long period. Scientists have shown that a small elevation of blood amino acids greatly reduces catabolism. You could get a long-lasting anti-catabolic effect like that with whey if, instead of absorbing 30 grams at once, you took 10 grams every hour. You would not get any pharmacological Hyperaminoacidemia, but the constant arrival of small amounts of amino acids would reduce catabolism.

By the same token, if the researchers in the French study had used 60 grams of casein instead of 30, its more likely that the subjects blood amino levels would have reached the critical threshold at some point. In that case casein, after a delay, would have first reduced catabolism, and then, when the peak of blood amino acids had been reached, it would have triggered anabolism. After that peak the casein would have recovered its mainly anti-catabolic function and stopped being significantly anabolic.

There are three points to remember from this study.

Whatever the dose is, amino acid derived from whey will always reach the blood before the amino acids derived from casein. The long-lasting anti-catabolic effect of casein can be duplicated by frequent ingestion of small amounts of whey. Of course its unlikely that you’re going to wake up every hours during the night to have your whey drink, so whey proteins are not’t practical if you’re looking for a prolong anti-catabolic effect. In order to get a strong anabolic action from casein, you need a far higher dose of it than whey to get the same effect-and casein’s effect take a lot longer to kick in than whey’s effects.

Comments from the Proteinfactory.com

Point 1. ANABOLIC

The most important fact in the article HYPERAMINOACIDEMIA. With the use of a hydrolyzed whey protein you can achieve this effect. Getting a flush of amino acids into the blood stream will cause an anabolic effect. Using regular whey protein concentrate or whey isolate will not do this. But what the article failed to do was to go into detail about hydrolyzed whey protein. If you want details about hydrolyzed whey protein, read article #2 Hydrolyzed whey protein and their friend the peptide. Only the proteinfactory.com offers the lowest MW hydrolyzed whey protein the 520. But I won’t take credit for the first company to do this. back in 1998. Metaform put out a supplement called Proton. It contains hydrolyzed whey and hydrolyzed casein. Great supplement but contained fructose and of course tasted like horses’ ass. Thus it did not sell. They also had a tit for tat with AST research a while back. AST tried to claim their protein was hydrolyzed whey but no –no total scam. If you have not learned yet- HYDROLYZED PROTEIN TASTES TERRIBLE EVEN IF YOU ADD FLAVORING. That is why Metaform had to try to add as much fructose (sugar) as possible. Because with out it, normal peoples, not you psychos, wouldn't be able to drink it. Unfortunately even with the fructose the protein tasted bad thus was discontinued.

ANTI-CATABOLIC

Only casein can provide this effect. But you have to make sure you taking enough do to this. If you’re going to try to get the anti-catabolic effect from casein.

Conclusion

Timing is everything. Select your proteins carefully and use them at the proper times. Use whey proteins in the mornings and after workouts. Use casein with MRP's and protein powders during the day. Each protein, just like soy, egg, milk, and bovine all have their special properties. If you use them at the right times you will maximize their use.

What Formula to make using Proteinfactory.com

By Alex Rogers

Here are my recommendations:

50% CFM 50% Micellar. This is your number one choice. The protein is evenly divided and contains the two highest quality whole food proteins in the world.

25% WPC, 25% CFM, 25% Milk, 25% Aussie Caseinate. Use this formula to keep the price down but still get an anabolic anti-catabolic effect.

Be forewarned, alot of supplement claim to use Micellar casein, when they are really using milk protein isolate. Unfortunately there is no way to tell. Just ask the company for the Certificate of Analysis.

Glycine propionyl-L-carnitine hydrocholoride (GPLC)

Glycine propionyl-L-carnitine hydrocholoride (GPLC) is a fairly new ingredient to enter into the bodybuilding supplementation world. It sold by a company called Sigma-Tau health sciences. They are the company that actual makes the product. It is marketing to supplement company’s as being the only true product to raise nitrate levels in the blood. Ie a nitric oxide product. Sigma-tau provides research and real data to support this claim. They also make claims on their website http://www.glycocarn.com/index.html that L-arginine and their related products do nothing for nitrate levels in the blood. This website is great if you like to read about real research and real products. Sigma-Tau sells the shit out of this product to many, many supplement company.s. I quickly counted on their “products” part of their website and counted about 50 company’s that carry the GPLC in their products.

Now here’s the bad news. #1 the product tastes like shit and is very expensive to use. The studies that I have read show that one must use 4 grams of GPLC for a serving size. Thus if you look at the GPLC sold at protein factory.com you will notice it cost $65.00 for a measly 150 grams. That’ll last you about 1 month. So I went ahead and looked at what other supplement company’s were selling their GPLC for.

Well here’s what I found.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/sts/nitrocarn-gplc-fusion.html

This product contains only 1.5 grams of GPCL in 4 capsules and you only get 15 servings per bottle. So what this supplement company did is either didn’t read the study that it takes 4 grams of GPLC to work or made a conscience decision to rip you off. http://www.maxmusclelincoln.com/Productpdf/MaxNitroEXT_PDS.pdf

Here’s another product I found that contains GPLC but along with a bunch of 10 other things in their “proprietary formula”. It equates to only 3.65 grams. So barely enough to give you the 4grams required.

Thus when trying to find GPLC make sure you get one with the correct serving size of 4 grams of GPLC per serving. Don’t be fooled by proprietary formulas. If you see a GPLC product with other ingredients like L-arginine or things like it. I don’t recommend you buy it.

I recommend these GPLC products.

1) Proteinfactory.com Nitric Oxide GPLC ( of course). It contains 4 grams per serving.

2) MHP N.O. Bomb.

3) and uhhh yea. These are the only two products I could find listed on the Sigma-tau website that actually gives you 4 grams per serving. So out of the 20 or so sports nutrition company’s that use this product only 2 use it correctly. The other don’t or they plead the 5th (proprietary ingredients)

The First Whey Isolate to Make you Lose Body Fat

et me just cut straight to it. I have created the perfect supplement. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 20. Why you ask? Most likely, if you are reading this, you want to be or if you are already you want to be more ripped, have six pack, have striations in their triceps, look vascular, have a nicer ass, lean mid-section etc, etc. What does it take?

Let me just cut straight to it. I have created the perfect supplement. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 20. Why you ask? Most likely, if you are reading this, you want to be or if you are already you want to be more ripped, have six pack, have striations in their triceps, look vascular, have a nicer ass, lean mid-section etc, etc. What does it take? Plain and simple MORE MUSCLE and LOW BODYFAT. How do you get more muscle and lower your bodyfat? You train with free weights and you eat just enough calories to trigger fat loss, but at the same time keep or even gain muscle mass. This is very, very, difficult to do. If it was easy you would see a lot more people with six packs and a lot more women running around with hot bodies. Thus, various muscle building and weight loss products are available to help you achieve this “LEAN” physique. But these products have been either made to make you gain weight and/or muscle or attempt to make you lose bodyfat. No products have been developed to do both. No products have been made to be both a muscle building product and a body fat reduction supplement combined. Well, now available from Proteinfactory.com is that supplement. A product “Lean” maker of the sorts. The product is the most advanced supplement of its kind and it’s now available to you.

Ever since whey protein has hit the market it has been the #1 choice for anyone wishing to improve their physique. Whey protein is simple to use and is excellent for adding lean muscle mass. Whey protein mixes easily and tastes great and it is the best protein powder for increasing lean muscle mass and to increase overall protein intake. But like all protein powders it does have one flaw. One flaw, you may ask? “I thought whey protein was the perfect protein”. Yes you heard what I said, whey protein powder does have one easily understandable flaw. Let me explain.

All protein powders contain calories. For every gram of protein you consume you are getting 4 calories. Thus if you take 3, 30 grams protein shakes a day you are getting an extra 360 calories, plus the other extra calories from the liquid you used. Now I know what you’re thinking now, so what, what is an extra 360 calories. Well for the muscle head it is not a problem, but for the person that wants to lose bodyfat and get lean it is a big problem. Ever since protein powders came out, companies have been trying to figure out ways for them to help you lose weight. The most common is the Meal Replacement Powders. These are probably the worst thing that you can use. Not only do they contain low quality protein powders, but they contain maltodextrin, a high glycemic carbohydrate that will put on fat like a Krispy Kreme donut does. Then the supplement companies tried to make their whey proteins with 0 carbs, thinking that an extra 2 or 4 grams of carbs will have a HUGE impact on your weight loss goals, which is obviously not true, carbohydrates contain the same amount of calories as protein. You see, every fitness guru, weight loss expert, personal trainer, supplement company owner, info marketing ab machine person knows that the ONLY way to lose bodyfat is to consume LESS calories. PERIOD!!!!. That is it, you must take in less calories than you use throughout the day to lose bodyfat. Thus the weight loss companies have pumped into your mind that by drinking protein shakes 2 or 3 times a day you will lose bodyfat. Well this is the “flaw” that I am talking about.

The “flaw” with whey protein or for that matter any weight loss powder drink is that when you use these products you STILL taking in calories. And those calories add up. So if you are trying to lose bodyfat you’re “paddling up a stream”. You think you are doing good while consuming protein shakes and MRP’s but when all along you are just replacing your regular food with powdered food. The calories are still the same. Most people cannot consume the little calories it takes to lose bodyfat. And why most people that use whey protein and MRP’s for weight loss FAIL miserably. Well, I have to tell you that I have solved this problem with protein powders.

As previously mentioned, you need to consume less calories than you use throughout the day to lose bodyfat. Not only that, but the calories you consume must be healthy foods like lean meats and low glycemic carbohydrates. Unless you are a complete moron, everyone knows how to eat healthy. After being in the supplement business for almost 10 years I rarely come across a person that does not know how to eat healthy. Protein is the most important macronutrient if you want to lose bodyfat. Protein will increase your muscle mass, increase your metabolism and help you lose the bodyfat. You must have PROTEIN in your diet if you want to lose bodyfat in a healthy manner. So what do people do to get the protein they need? They buy whey protein powder. And thus this is the mistake I am talking about. The weight loss wanna-be does right by making sure he is getting enough protein in his/her diet, but fails because it adds the calories which crushes their weight loss goals.

About 1 year ago I started to research whey protein and its relationship to weight loss and body fat composition. I discovered that by creating a whey protein that was specifically manufactured in a manner that would actually aid in weight loss it would create a new category for weight loss powders. The technology behind the manufacturing of whey protein is advancing quickly. We now have the capability to manipulate the whey protein in such a way where we can create a protein, that is “specific” to achieve a certain goal. And in this case the goal is weight loss. Well, I am here to tell you that it is now available. Yes, it is the first whey protein whose composition was altered scientifically to aid in weight loss. Now at this point you might be thinking, “if it sounds to good to be true it probably is”. Hey, I would too, but guess what. Before I decided to launch this product it was clinically tested. And guess what again, IT WORKED!!! Not only that but dramatically the volunteers taking my weight loss whey mostly loss weight in the “trunk” region, which is your ass and your stomach, awesome I know!!! More good news is that the volunteers ranged from all ages and shapes.

THIS ISNT YOUR AVERAGE JOE, RUN OF THE MILL WHEY.
Wanna know how it works? Let me explain. This new advanced form of whey protein works 3 ways: 1- Satiety, 2- controlling fat deposition and 3- acceleration of fat breakdown. With the use of high tech manufacturing techniques, we are able to create a “specific goal oriented whey protein” by accelerating certain components of the whey protein itself, truly remarkable. Hence, this is what we did.

SATIETY
Whey Light contains a high level of the protein peptide GMP (glycomacropeptide).

Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a peptide that is released from intestinal cells into the blood stream following the consumption of food. CCK interacts with the stomach to slow gastric emptying and help maintain a feeling of satiety. CCK also binds to brain cell receptors indicating to the brain that the body is in a state of satiety. In humans, CCK levels in the blood normally reach a peak within 20 minutes following a meal and return to baseline within one hour (Portman, 2001). GMP stimulates secretion of CCK. Human clinical work done on a small number of volunteers (6) showed that GMP increased blood levels of CCK up to 270% within 20 minutes after consumption (Yvon, et al., 1994). This work verifies that GMP or fragment 106-169 of k-casein stimulates CCK release and thereby slows gastric emptying and creates a feeling of satiety.

CONTROLLING FAT DEPOSITION:
A special hydrolysate in Whey Light limits the production of angiotensin II

Fat deposition occurs in fat cells, adipocytes, in the human body. The regulation of Fat deposition in adipocytes has been a topic of much research with numerous studies showing that adipocytes produce a variety of proteins and hormones that help control Fat deposition (Jones, et al., 1997). Among the hormones synthesized by adipocytes is the vasoactive compound, angiotensin II. Jones et al. (1997) have shown that angiotensin II increase Fat deposition in human fat cells. They found that angiotensin II has direct feedback to the fat cell by binding to specific synthase and glycerol-3 phosphate dehydrogenase that are involved in Fat deposition. As a result of higher levels of these two enzymes, adipocytes become larger by synthesizing and depositing more triglyceride material in the cell.

Angiotensin II is formed by angiotensin converting enzyme, therefore enzyme inhibitors effective in limiting production of angiotensin II in patients can reduce Fat deposition by limiting the production of angiotensin II. A special hydrolysate produced with activity against the production of angiotensin II is a component in Whey Light.

ACCELERATING FAT BREAKDOWN
Whey Light contains levels of minerals which accelerate fat breakdown

The third component of Whey Lightt, is minerals which include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and zinc.

Research has shown the mechanism of how dietary calcium, like the kind found in Whey Light, impacts fat deposition and breakdown in the fat cell (adipocyte). They have found that when dietary calcium is low, the body responds by increasing uptake of calcium into the adipocyte, resulting in high intracellular calcium. High intracellular calcium that occurs during low dietary calcium intake causes the adipocyte to increase expression of enzymes responsible for fat lipogenesis and it also inhibits fat breakdown (lypolysis). Thus, when people are on low calcium/dairy diets, they get fatter. Whey dietary calcium is high, the movement of calcium into the adipocyte decreases dramatically resulting in low intracellular calcium. Low calcium in the adipocyte causes accelerated lypolysis and significantly reduces lipogenesis resulting in weight loss.

Research has been recently completed with similar experiments in humans. Results of a clinical trial published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition are reported to show that increasing dietary calcium speeds up weight loss and fat loss. Weight loss was enhanced when the calcium was derived from low-fat milk products compared to an equivalent amount of supplemental calcium.

The 24-week study divided people into three groups. The control group took low-calcium products, a second group was given high levels of calcium in the form of calcium carbonate, and the third group was given high levels of calcium in the form of dairy products (three to four servings of low-fat milk products).

All groups were given a low-calorie diet. The control group lost 6.4% of their body weight. By comparison, the calcium carbonate group lost 8.1% of body weight, and the dairy group lost 10.9% of body weight. Relatively speaking, this means the dairy group lost 70% more weight than the control group.

As an added bonus, calcium taken in the form of dairy products has recently been linked to weight loss. Davies et al. (2000) reanalyzed five studies that had been done with a skeletal endpoint to see if there was any correlation between calcium intake and body weight. They found significant negative correlations between calcium intake and body weight for three different age groups. They estimated that a 1000 mg/day difference in calcium intake corresponded to an 8 kg reduction in weight. They showed that when dietary calcium to protein ration was higher than 15 mg Ca/g protein in 348 women in their 30’s, BMI did not exceed 27.

That calcium and dairy product consumption helps control weight at various ages of life was also shown in work done by Carruth and Skinner (2001). They found that children from 2-96 months old exhibited a negative correlation between body weight and calcium/dairy product intake. Supporting work (Lin, et al. 2000) showed that young women (age 18-31), regardless of exercise status, also exhibited a negative correlation between calcium intake and body weight.

No stimulants, no ephedra, no crazy herbs or botanicals. Completely 100% safe and natural. A whey protein compositionally altered into a weight loss product.

A little more info…..

The Name.
If you don’t know me by now, my name is Alex Rogers, owner of Proteinfactory.com. I am a down to earth guy, who doesn’t like bullshit, and scientific jargon and fancy labeling to sell product. Thus I decided to call the new weight loss protein “Whey Light”. Basic I know, but I am not trying to sell you a weight loss drug or a product made to sound like it was manufactured by a military underground lab.

A different Product

Whey Light is going to be sold in containers ONLY!!!. I know a shocker, but this is the only way that I want it sold. Why? Because #1 it’s a supplement and not common whey protein isolate or concentrate. You take it like a supplement 1 or 2 servings a day, unlike common whey protein where you can take 12 servings a day. The effects of the “Whey Light” are a result of just 1 serving a day.

Do Men And Women Lose Fat Differently?

Look in any of the fitness magazines and you’ll see diets and exercise routines designed specifically for women. But is there really a difference in the way women lose fat? No. The biology is the same. But, wait a minute. There may be a couple of things that make it appear like there’s more of a difference than one may realize.

Women hold more fat in the thighs and hips, whereas men hold more fat in the abs and obliques. These are the favorite spots where liposuction is often the last resort. Unfortunately, except for the obliques, lipo often leaves a loose lumpy appearance in the area where the fat was removed. Even with surgery you need to get in the best shape possible.

So what’s the best approach for women to lose fat in the areas they want it the least? The same as for men – diet and exercise. But there is another factor in fat loss for women that is often overlooked.

Over 40% of all women over the age of 30 suffer from some form of hypothyroidism. Not in the clinical sense where they need medication, but just enough to slow the metabolism down and make fat loss that much harder. (As if it wasn’t hard enough).

Women also tend to retain water due to fluctuations in estrogen. This cause that bloated feeling that also gives the appearance of fat. But these problems can easily be remedied with some simple supplements.

ZIP is a thyroid booster that is 100% safe and effective. It’ll help you burn more calories and make the most of every exercise session.

POST CYCLE contains natural anti estrogens which safely remove the bad estrones associated with bone loss, breast cancer and fat deposits.

DEFINITION is a mild urinary tonic that helps flush the system of excess fluids and toxins.

Put them all together and you have a quick, effective way to manage the “excess weight” problems that tend to be specific to women.

Why wait? Try this simple healthy alternative to crazy diets and dangerous diet pills and start losing fat fast!

Which Weight Loss Supplements Really Work?

There are literally hundreds of weight loss products on the market. They essentially all fall into one of four categories.

Category one: Stimulants. There are a few different sources but the active ingredient in most products is good old caffeine. Stims will rev up your metabolism and give you more energy. The problem is, once you get used to them, your metabolism actually gets slower. They’re best implemented as a pre-workout boost so that you can burn more calories when training.

Category two: Laxatives. Yes, anytime you see something that says “internal cleanser” or “fat flusher” it’s nothing more than a laxative of one type or another. Obviously these will cause a quick drop in weight but it isn’t real fat loss and cannot be maintained.

Category three: Appetite suppressants. Some of these, such as Hoodia, work very well, but the bottom line is you must learn some will power and not eat too many calories. No pill will do that for you.

Category four: ZIP! Yes, ZIP is a one of kind supplement that works directly to stimulate the thyroid to burn more fat. It works great by itself but what’s also great about ZIP is that it can be stacked any or all of the other products with no interference, contraindications or over dosage of ingredients. It’s one of a kind product and if you use only ONE fat loss supplement, it’s the one that will give the longest lasting results.

And remember, the bottom line if you want to lose fat is that you have to eat less and move more. So watch that diet and train hard. And use ZIP. You’re guaranteed to see results.

Fat Loss-Fast & Simple

First the bad news. You can read about all the diets, all the gadgets, all the miracle cures and magical potions that guarantee fat loss…but it won’t do a bit of good.

Now the good news. Fat loss is really pretty simple.

Step one is simply to take in less calories that you expend. But this is where a lot of people get off track. They start counting calories and that’s pointless. It really doesn’t mater how many calories you take in – it’s more important that you expend the energy, and that can’t be gauged any other way than to bust your ass in the gym. More sets. More reps. More intensity.

Besides training it’s also important to stay active. Walk, ride a bike, play tennis, or handball, golf or anything. Just get outside and move.

The final step is supplementation. That’s easy. The ultimate weight loss stack is ZIP and Diet Pro. Use the Diet Pro before workouts to increase energy and curb appetite afterwards. And use ZIP to insure the thyroid uses fat for energy,

For an extra advantage we recommend using Whey Light protein and Post Cycle. Post Cycle keeps estrogen in check which prevents bloating and fat storage.

We could say more but it would just waste your time. You know what to do if you want a leaner, harder body. So get to work. And make sure you have the proper supplements to speed the process along. Summers almost here. With the right program you’re going to look amazing!

The "Lean" Summer Protein

Summer is the time when you should be trying to keep your body fat down. This means eating low GI carbs, fruits and veggies, and lots of slow releasing proteins like Milk Isolate, Micellar Casein, or Aussie Caseinate. Why? Because I think it is more important to be anti-catabolic during this time. Anti-catabolic means keeping your body out of a muscle wasting state. The trick is to keep a supply of amino acids in the blood stream as long as possible. The best way to do this is a combination of a slow release protein, a high dose of Glutamine, and a dose of immunoglobulins. One of my favorite combinations is 5% Glutamine Peptides, 5% Ajinomoto L-Glutamine (I just obtained the #1 quality L-Glutamine in the world), 5% Super Plasma, 35% Aussie Caseinate, and 50% Micellar Casein with Aminogen. Keep in mind that the body only cares about survival. The more muscle mass you have on your frame, the more energy it takes for you to live. That is why the body is constantly breaking down muscle mass. Look what happens when you stop working out or decrease your calories, you lose muscle mass. The goal with the formula I just gave you can actually be called a “survival” protein. Micellar and Aussie are naturally high in glutamic acid. And then by adding Glutamine Peptides and L-Glutamine you are getting a hefty dose. Now here is the kicker. L-Glutamine is a very popular supplement, but if you talk to me on the phone or on the message board you can catch me not recommending this product, most of the time. Why? Because L-glutamine, even Glutamine peptides is not a muscle building supplement. You will not find one published study proving the ergogenic benefit of Glutamine supplements. Secondly, I think it is the most mis-understood supplement ever produced. In my opinion it is more of a “survival” supplement, and/or immuno-enhancing product. Thus I love it for this reason. Most people buy it with thought that it will build muscle. But if you buy it, you buy it to “spare” muscle mass from being chewed up for energy. If you happen to let your body begin to convert amino acids into glycogen, most likely Glutamine is going to be the first one to go. You can easily find the old “your body’s muscles are made up of over 50% glutamic acid.” Thus when you take Glutamine, you are actually theorizing that you are using an energy supplement instead of an anabolic product. You will notice that I also put in our great protein Super Plasma protein. Super Plasma is the #1 choice for immuno enhancement. It is 50% IGG. This is great for the immune system.

Thus we have just created a protein powder with a huge anti-catabolic effect. Much higher than Whey Protein Concentrate. Thus if you are looking to cut your body fat down and get lean for the last half of the summer, try this formula and give your body a chance to fight catabolism. Remember, that many top steroid guru’s and supplement experts believe that anabolic steroids work so well because of their uncanny ability to keep the body out of a catabolic state. The idea of this Glutamine, Super Plasma, Casein blend is to do just that, keep the body from dipping into a negative nitrogen condition.

Try this in a blender or shaker
1 scoop of OatMuscle
1 scoop of above formula
2 Tbs of hemp oil
3 fish oil gels
1 capsule of Phospha 4
¼ tsp of Creatine p-12
Talk about a real “muscle” sparing protein formula.

DROP 4 POUNDS IN 45 MINUTES!

Okay, we know that title sounds a little crazy but it can be done.

Keep in mind, we’re not talking about 4 pounds of solid fat. For the most part, this will be water. Nevertheless, losing some extra bloat provides a quick, albeit temporary, fix for looking leaner and more defined.

Here’s how you do it.

Start out by drinking a good amount of fluids and then weigh yourself. Now, before your workout rub a thin layer of oil or petroleum jelly on your midsection and strap on a sweatbelt directly on your skin. At this point take 4 capsules of DEFINITION.

Train in a fast paced, intense manner. Keep rest in-between sets short. If you do cardio, make it quick! No jogging. Run! Hitting a punching bag is also an excellent way to get the heart rate up fast. After the workout, have 8 ounces of water and take another 4 capsules of DEFINITION.

Although sweating is mostly water weight, there is some fat lost in perspiration. DEFINITION will promote urination which will rid the body of excess water, salts and various toxins. After about 45 minutes expect to weigh 4-5 lbs less than when you started.

DEFINITION is great as a last minute tightening or to be used on a regular basis to stay tight and avoid muscle blurring bloat. Try it and see. You’ll be surprised how well it works.
