Getting On The Right Track With a Low Carb Protein Powder

low carb protein powderIf there’s one thing that plagues practically every health enthusiast, it’s the high carbohydrate levels found in so many protein powders.

Everyone knows that the best way to become lean and strong is a combination of a good diet and regular exercise, but doesn’t it seem horribly counter-productive to take a protein shake that practically does as much harm as it does good?

Enter 180 Nutrition protein powder. This protein powder cuts the carbs, preservatives and otherwise unnecessary chemicals out of the protein drink and gives you exactly what you want – protein. The body doesn’t store protein, so it’s important to stay well-stocked when building up muscle. Other protein drinks throw fancy words around to throw you off, but 180 Nutrition protein powder cuts right to the chase with a mere 12 natural ingredients that won’t send your head spinning.

Perhaps the greatest benefit of the 180 Nutrition protein drink is that provides a boost of energy through purely natural means. The sad fact of the matter is that the vast majority of the foods we consume are full of fillers meant to make us feel content rather than energised. Sadly, even other “nutrition” drinks fall victim to this. Other protein powders implement artificial sweeteners and unnecessary bulking agents, but 180 Nutrition cuts to the chase, fueling you up right away.

180 Nutrition is great for weight loss as well. Supplement yourself with regular exercise sessions and eat 4-6 times a day and you’ll be in great shape in no time. It’s not uncommon for the 180 nutrition smoothie to replace as many as half the recommended daily meals, so it’s safe to assume that this low carb protein powder produces a very filling drink as well.

180 Nutrition is a great supplemental drink that caters to literally everyone. Whether you’re young or old, sick or well or merely looking to add some nutrients to your life, 180 Nutrition powder drinks are for you. Stop consuming fillers and start putting natural, nutritious contents in your body – you won’t regret it.

Using Protein Bars for Weight Loss

Protein bars for weight lossUsing protein bars for weight loss can be a great asset to your diet toolkit. Protein bars are easy and convenient and are ideal for a quick snack as they are usually a better choice when confronted with fast food or highly processed convenience foods.

Most protein bars for weight loss on the market today contain hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated palm oil, artificial sweeteners and a long list of synthetic ingredients. While these protein bars may taste great the synthetic ingredients have been found to inhibit weight loss.

At 180 Nutrition our focus is to provide natural nutrition that delivers a healthy approach to your well being. Our protein bars use 100% natural ingredients including almonds, sunflower and chia seeds which are a source of good fats keeping you feeling full for longer.

The short video below will explain why we value all natural ingredients:

What are the Best Meal Replacement Shakes?

best meal replacement shakeWhen wondering what the best meal replacement shakes are it always pays to read the label. If you are staring at a long list of ingredients that you struggle to pronounce then you’d have to wonder if your meal replacement shake is actually healthy.

Did you know that many popular meal replacement shakes contain ingredients that have actually been linked to weight gain? Artificial sweeteners such as Aspertame (also known as NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, Canderel & E951, etc) have been known to inhibit weightloss and cause many uncomfortable side effects. This toxic chemical has long been recognised by prominent medical authorities as a neurotoxin, yet it is found in many diet supplements and diet foods.

So what is the answer when choosing the best meal replacement shake for you? We recommend natural ingredients over synthetic and a good ratio of protein, carbohydrates and fat, with enough fibre thrown in to keep you feeling full.

Weight Loss & Diet Meal Replacements

meal replacement smoothie

Weight loss and meal replacement have never been easier with our healthy all natural products. Unlike other meal replacement products our ingredients are derived from raw and natural ingredients. Claims such as ‘sugar free, low fat, and low carb’ generally mean that synthetic ingredients have been used.

180 Natural Protein Superfood will help you find and maintain your healthy weight while also providing a quality source of protein, nutrients and minerals that are essential for a healthy metabolism.

Recent weight & diet meal replacement study

Steven Heymsfield, M.D., of St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital, analyzed a half-dozen small studies comparing diet meal replacements with conventional low-calorie diets. He found that people who guzzle the shakes in place of one or two meals a day consistently lose 7 percent to 8 percent of their body weight after 1 year. That’s about 15 pounds for a 200-pound man, which, he notes, is roughly the same reduction you might achieve by taking a weight-loss drug such as Xenical–minus the risk of a drug’s side effects. Meanwhile, Dr. Heymsfield showed that people who simply try to eat less food maintain a weight loss closer to 3 percent.

What makes the best protein supplement bar?

protein_supplement_barsBy Guy Lawrence

If you are reading this post, then I’m guessing you are looking for the best protein supplement bar on the market today yes? That is all well and good, but before you buy I want you to ask yourself the next three questions honestly. You will then soon know if you are purchasing the best protein bar for you.

Question 1 – Why are you buying a protein supplement bar?

Are you looking to increase your protein? Are you wanting to build lean muscle? Or are you simply wanting a healthy option with more protein and nutrients to meet your daily active needs?

It’s usually one or all of the above. Now, before you make a decision, if you are exercising regular and putting demands on your body daily, you will understand that a sound nutritional diet is paramount for success. A protein supplement is just that… A supplement. This is not going to give you all the anwsers, but it can be a convenient tool when needed if you are needing food on the run. But more importantly food that you can trust.

Question 2 – Do you honestly care about the food you put in your body?

This is very important. If you are sitting there reading this chugging on a can of coke or a redbull, this post is probably not for you.

Your recovery from exercise is as only as good as the food you put in your body 24/7. Not just post workout. You can’t out train a bad diet, and a bad diet will not help your goals long term…period. With this in mind, wouldn’t it make sense to choose a protein supplement that was healthy and free of cheap ingredients, chemicals, preservatives, artificial sweeteners and flavourings like cookies and cream, strawberry and vanilla. Yes vanilla! Flavourings including vanilla are chemically produced. Most sweeteners used in protein supplements and bars use aspartame. You can read more about that here.

All these things I’ve mentioned will put undue stress on the body over time and are not healthy. Does this seem a smart thing to be doing? Many ‘health supplements’ have slick marketing but are full of rubbish, so be cautious when purchasing.

Question 3 – Are companies being transparent with their list of ingredients?

When you are looking at a website, are the ingredients easily found and clearly listed? Have the manufactures have anything to hide? Do you recognise all the ingredients and do you consider them to be healthy?

If the company is proud of it’s products and is not trying to dupe the consumer, then they will be completely transparent. If you take a look around our website here at 180 Nutrition, you will see that we clearly list every ingredient and we even put pictures next to them.

So if you are looking for a protein supplement bar that is actually good for you, you can take a look at our ingredients here. We even sell starter pack protein bars too so you can try them first without committing to a whole box unless you like them.

 

Are diet sodas a healthy choice?

Diet Soda Health Risks

By Guy Lawrence

“They may be free of calories but not of consequences.” - Professor Helen Hazuda speaking on diet soda.

After knocking the wind out of my mates sails regarding his healthy fruit salad and apple juice (click here if you’ve no idea what I’m on about), the next topic that came up on the radar was his diet soft drink. You see, the next logical step for my friend to take whilst on his weight loss plan was to be drinking the ‘diet’ stuff instead of  ’normal’ stuff.

I mean, if a soft drink has the word ‘diet’, ‘sugar free’ or ‘low cal’ etc… It’s got to be healthy for you right?

His new found enthusiasim for his health and weight loss plan had already taken a dent regarding fruit and sugar, so I understood the switch to sugar free soft drinks. After he finished guzzling down his cold can on a sunny day I said one word to him… Aspartame.

In a nutshell, this was my response…
