Careful, your logic goes against the billion dollar industry of how to be fit yet we live in the most unfit nation the world. Its amazing people have still not woken up the fact the healthyist people (who die of old age 90+, centarians etc. almost always never hit a gym, never watched sooooo closely what they ate, typically don't get sick, don't have ache etc.

General easy rule of thumb to be healthy and live a long life is simple:

Eat whole foods, avoid all processed food (tradition meal preparation)
Eat organic meats - avoid modern hormones laced, avoid modern sterile dairy
Eat way less then a normal north American - usually a third.
Live a low stressed life
Sleep lots
Active in the sense of being outdoor and walking and interacting with people

The gym is one the least healthiest you can do for your health. To prevent osteo, all you need to do is bodyweight lite excerises daily like walking, a hop to your step etc. The compression effects solidify bone. But why you want to walk when you can drive and that bs calcium pills that are poorly absorbed, lead to coronary artery disease. To not gain weight, remove all processed food and eat less calories then you use. Eat a variety of natural unprocessed foods.

But where is money in that lol

Same principle applied to men (that we women should try to apply to our NBE program too), a lean define skinny chest ie David Beckham, he probably consumed Protein **prior** working out. The fatty large chest as Chris Hemsworth (Thor actor), then he probably eats more protein after his work out routine. Many of my guys friends have tested such theory.

My 2 cents.

Look into 2% milk, it is just as anabloic and better for you then whey. Cheaper too. Just don't do skim or 1% or homogenized.

The protein powder story is just that. A story. Try and find the landmark study where it found the approx. 1g per lb of bodyweight. I can tell you, it wasn't designed they way you might think. I saw it at an old job that I had. The milk producers had an issue with all this whey and took the study and ran with and created an industry that has perpetuated for decades. Same thing with maltodextrin, corn waste. The study was done on 6 people, who will ill, didn't haven't dose escalation and no control group. Whey isolate is te most anabolic form. But taking liquid dairy whey isn't needed for performance. If your ill and not eating or incapable of eating, then cfm whey isolate is a viable option.

Athletes are paid to promote protein. Its unneeded and does nothing for a seditary individual or average athlete. You need to be a top athlete to see any benefit and I doubt even at that. Many many of the best athletes in the NFL, nhl, NBA, Olympics have started to stop using it. They perform better on whole nongmo foods. Just fact. Bodybuilders are all steroid users as are a lot of the gym junkies.

Creatine Monohydrate (only mono) is a very useful ingredients for exercise performance. But that said, even the 5g per day of creatine was poor done and taken as the gold standard ever since.

I thought I would share this as proof that just because its marketed, doesn't make it true, necessary or safe. A lot of it just playing to a concern and playing desires to improve themselves with a pill vs doing the hard work.

I recent came to learn that potentially jergen's baby shampoo no tears achieves no tears but putting a numbing agent!! Why does shampoo need a numbing agent. I have a lot of work to do on it to see if its true, not that I had any intention of using with baby.
