Importance of Protein During NBE
November 16 2007 at 2:01 PM Dogfreak (Login dogfreak)
Dear All,
Izzit really important for one to consume lotsa protein during NBE program? I do not add in protein in my daily diet, only consume 2 x 500 MG Borage Oil & 2 x 1000 MG FLax seed Oil, is it considrebably sufficient?
I have grown a little from Natureday but is not accelerating further. I am thinking of consuming more protein daily. How much protein is sufficient for daily intake in order to help boost NBE?
Can anyone suggest good protein in vegetable form or in any other form?
ANyone experienced enhanced growth only after increasing protein intake?
BIG THANX!

protein is important, i'd say.
good vegan sources of protein include: tofu, seitan, soy milk, soy yogurt, beans/lentils/peas/etc, nuts, seeds, spinach, broccoli (shocking, i know), hemp - they sell isolated hemp protein in my health food store (well, perhaps, only in california), grains such as barley, wild rice, quinoa, etc
of course, if you're vegetarian, rather than vegan (depending on what kind) then your options might also include dairy protein and eggs

How about Whey?
November 17 2007, 3:42 AM
Hey
My boyfriend does a lot of weight lifting and drinks a lot of whey protein, would a whey protein shake be a suitable method of supplementing protein for breast development? It can be fairly cheap.
He said different kinds of proteins vary in digestion speeds and that whey is very quickly digested, there are others that digest more slowly to give a constant release of protein throughout the day, or at night time (your body goes the longest period without protein when you are sleeping). He only bothers with Whey but doesn't know which would be best to aid breast development. Any ideas?

For anyone thinking of loose powdered spirulina, it's a lovely rich dark green colour but it really smells - wasn't brave enough to taste it!

Spirulina can be taken in capsule form too, though i guess it may be a case of too many pills to swallow
Spirulina boasts all sorts of wonderful features - highest source of organic iron and lots of micronutrients. It has given me a boost throughout my last pregnancy and breastfeeding - when i stop taking it i notice the difference and the fatigue hits in. Don't know if a big increase in protein (other than a healthy amount/ per weight/ lifestyle etc) would be a health benefit or increase bust size. My breasts have unfortunately shrunk dramatically from DD at the start of breast feeding to a small B and they have all the usual marks of shrinkage - ie stretchmarked... wish they'd firm up. Started massages since reading things on this site and other forums and just with fenugreek, but back to protein have had a strong protein intake - whey powder (1-2 times per day), fish, nuts, legumes all daily too. Doing the low GI zone style diet for some years now.
cheers

NB whey is dairy - if you're lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy you shouldn't have it. but sounds like there are plenty of other options!
i have seen the spirulina protein as well - excellent option!

I made the mistake one time of chewing my spirulina tablets and I ended up with green teeth for THREE DAYS. Needless to say I never did that again. They now just get added to my already huge pile of pills and if you mix the powder in water drink it with a straw!

Another good reason increase your protein intake is body temperature. Ever since I started adding protein shakes to my diet I feel a lot warmer and I don't have cold hands and feet anymore. This is amazing to me because I'm usually cold year round. The brand that I'm currently using is from Naturade. It's suitable for vegetatrians, has no carbs or sugar and is lactose free.

The company is in California. Their website is www.naturade.com. I buy mine at the local Wal-mart (I'm in Canada) It's not bad tasting. I usually just mix it in water.
