Protein Shakes come in very handy for meal replacements or losing weight.
If you don’t always have the time to sit down and have a high protein meal protein shakes come in very handy.
Besides for the convenience factor, there are many other benefits to protein shakes. Without an adequate amount of protein, our bodies wouldn’t heal as quickly which could lead to overtraining and/or injury.
The most important time of day to have your Maxine’s Burn shake is right after training. This allows the fast absorption of protein into the muscles, healing the small tears in the muscle tissue which are occurred during training. So why not have a solid meal instead? Solid food takes much longer to digest and break down the protein to send to the muscle; Maxine’s Burn will digest quickly and absorb into the muscle much sooner than what a meal would. You are also guaranteed plenty of vitamins, minerals and branch chain amino acids, all of which are in your Maxine’s shake.
Before bed you could have a protein shake along with some flaxseed oil or natural peanut butter. You are preparing your body to fast while sleeping so it is essential to have protein delivery throughout the night. Adding some good fats will slow the absorption process down, allowing your body to receive the protein much longer.
All in all shakes are handy, convenient and Maxine’s Burn also tastes great. Have them as a snack in-between meals or while on the go. However remember most importantly, shakes should revolve around your training routine.
Why should I take a protein supplement?
What is Whey Protein Supplement and why is it recommended that we incorporate it into your daily diet.
Whey Protein is derived from milk protein. However, unlike milk proteins – whey protein does not contain fat or lactose sugar. Whey protein is the best form of protein to take when using a supplement. So, whey protein is not only good for building and repairing muscles, it also may extend your life.
The high quality protein that comes from Maxine’s Burn Protein (which is one of the products we stock at Funlife Fitness) makes it a recommended choice for those who need optimal benefits from restricted diets including diabetics, those on weight management diets and even ill patients not able to consume enough protein in their diet to assist with healing.
What are the reasons I should supplement with whey protein?
* To build muscle mass
* To speed recovery time
* Reduce injuries related to working out
* Maintain a healthy and fit body
* reducing your daily calorie intake
Will taking protein make me fat?
No – in fact it may help you if you are trying to lose weight.
You see the amino acids in protein may help keep your blood sugar levels stabile. This is important because it keeps you feeling good all day and stops your craving for food that occurs when your blood sugar level drops.
If your diet is too high in carbohydrates your blood sugar levels go though peaks and valleys. You go from a burst of energy and feeling full to a lull and being hungry. In addition, if you are dieting, getting 17 grams of protein from a protein shake that has only 90 calories is better than getting your protein from a big meal which may have hundreds of calories.
When is the best time to take a protein supplement?
- Right after a workout – this is when your body goes into a stage of recovery and growth.
- First thing in the morning – because your body has just gone though 8 hours (or however long you sleep for) of not having food – so your protein levels are way down.
- Before you go to sleep – this helps prevent the protein breakdown that naturally occurs when we sleep. If you are not trying to build muscle mass then this protein breakdown is fine.
- If you’re on the go, pack your Maxine’s Burn Bar or Shake in your bag to avoid making bad food choices or use a meal replacement.

Cant lose weight no matter what you do?
Some things to consider if you feel the kilos are starting to creep on or the jeans are feeling a little tighter.
As we age, our metabolism begins to naturally slow down. When our metabolism decreases, our calorie intake must also decrease to compensate, or weight gain occurs. Another reason that weight increases with age is that we begin to lose muscle tissue. Anyone can acquire more muscle tissue with a good strength-training program, no matter what age!
Lack of exercise can be a big influence on weight gain. It is also a critical factor in maintaining your weight. Overweight individuals tend to be less physically active than their “normal weight” counterparts. Activity on some level is critical in keeping our metabolism elevated so we can burn more calories each day. Some exercises even help you burn more calories at rest.
Whatever your age or ability we need to keep our bodies moving and as our fitness and strength improve we need to continue make new goals and work towards them.
