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.

health benefits of Eggs

The humble egg often receives a bad wrap in the health press with emphasis put on the impact they have on cholesterol levels. However, in addition to being a nutrition-packed powerhouse of protein (essential to keep hunger at bay), vitamins and minerals, eggs are actually a great source of wonderful omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their heart health benefits and may have positive effects on reducing inflammation. Inflammation is the body’s response to pathogens (e.g. bacteria, viruses), allergens, damaged or dead cells and irritants. The blood vessels and immune system respond by sending more chemicals to the site of invasion or damage, causing the inflammation. 

The blood vessels dilate, or increase in size, leading to the redness often seen in the skin. Swelling is caused by capillary leakage and the accumulation of white blood cells fighting the infection. Significant damage can occur as a result of the inflammatory response, including the chronic inflammatory condition known as rheumatoid arthritis. 

How do we reduce inflammation? Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are often used, but these can have adverse side effects. Taking fish oil or other supplements containing omega-3 is a useful method to aid with reducing inflammation. 

Why not add to this the humble egg? For a healthy breakfast, replace the fatty bacon with some grilled tomato, spinach and corn for added vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Enjoy!

Is your social circle making you fat?

One of the toughest challenges people face when trying to lose weight or acheive a fitness goal is sticking to their health regime when surrounded by a group of friends or family who do not share a similar goal. 

So many of our social activities revolve around food , when you start changing the way you eat, the way you relate to your friends (with food) changes, too.

To get the “old you” back, some pals may start trying to push food on you or suggest you remain a couch potato alongside them. A key in preventing or solving this situation is communication — make it clear from the get-go that you’re serious about losing weight and that you need your friends’ help to make it happen.

If your activities normally center around a restaurant or bar, suggest new ones: concerts, plays, etc. Better still, get active by going dancing or playing tennis.

Some other Ideas:

  • Work out together: Group exercise releases more endorphins. Classes can be a fun way to get a great workout without even noticing you’re exercising! Not only that but it is great to do with a friend.
  •  

  • Partners in health: People are five times more likely to adopt a healthy behaviour if their spouse does it too.
  •  

  • Be sure to have a nutritious snack before heading out to a party or event where high calorie snacks may be tempting.
  • Watching what you eat, exercising, and keeping informed of health tips and low-fat recipes are still extremely important in losing weight and keeping it off. Remember to strike a balance between accepting and loving your body the way it is, and striving for health and wellness.

    Lose weight with early morning exercise

    Why would I want to workout at 6 am? Here are some great reasons:

    Metabolism - By training in the morning you are kick starting your metabolism for the day. After your early morning workout you will be hungry and a good breakfast is important.  By exercising first thing in the morning you will not only feel great you will continue burning calories right throughout the day.

    Time -   Don’t have time? Worked overtime today? Got a dinner with the in laws? If you worked out in the morning you would not only get the benefits of starting your metabolism you get to go straight home after work and spend time with the family and relax.

    Sleep -  Waking up earlier for an earlier bed time, winding down after a gym session finishing at 7 or 8pm can be hard. You often still have dinner to eat, jobs around the house to do or even entertaining the family. By getting your workouts in the morning you could start winding down straight after work and be in bed before 10pm.
