Hemp Protein?
    #9416594 -

Im thinking about switching to hemp protein for my pre/post workout shakes

Supposedly after a couple months it really starts to work

I think the best arguement for it is its high in chlorophyl, protein, efa's, all 10 aminos, lots of fiber & most of all that its totally natural!

Cant wait til it arrives so i can start making some great smoothies

Any experience with this stuff?

:peace:

Yea I've been using it for a while, The best I found is Ruth's Hemp powder with Maca and E3.  It has 5grams of maca per serving which really gives you an energy boost when working out.

would you say by itself, blended with oj or something similar
(with the amounts i mentioned above)
would help increase muscle size?

i also eat nuts & tuna/chicken soon after a workout for protein
but im thinking the hemp protein in a smoothie will really
help give me that protein boost straight after a workout

by all accounts it sounds like wonderful stuff

but does it really help muscle growth?

i gonna try it either way as its good stuff
but id like to know if i should expect any gains
ive heard that after 3 months of hemp it starts to really work
but first it has to detoxify your intestines so they can absorb all the nutrients

my body just does not agree with whey

:peace:

All protein helps muscle growth. Some proteins are considered complete and give all essential amino acids in one package. Whey, egg, and hemp are all good. But a balanced diet will provide all these aminos. You don't have to get them all together but for myself I prefer it.

So yeah. Drink that hemp shake right after you work out.

I like whey because of it's balance and ease of assimilation and taste. It also contains some colostrum which may be a boost to the immune system. This is why it is often recommended for cancer patients.

For the green part I  make a green drink one or more times a day.

One scoop whey, hand full of parsley, two handfulls of kale, two stalks of celery, one scoop of greens concentrate pwd. (grasses and spirulina and chorella and such) some omega 3 oil, some coconut milk, some flax seed and some stevia. Blend the fuck out of it in a quality high speed mixer until liquid. Then drink single gulps and act like your chewing it to mix with saliva.

I hope the stuff gets here soon, im going on holiday in feb & need to tone up!

"im gonna go for 30g (14g protein) before workout

You have way too much protein in your diet IMO.  I take the protein powder because I eat mostly just fruit and veggies, with some nuts.  Eating too much protein will lead to an acidic body pH, in which your bones have to leech calcium into your body to equalize the pH, plus Calcium is crucial for muscle contractions.  Focus on eating more greens and less meats, It will give you more energy, and help you digest all the protein.  If you are eating lots of protein every meal you might want to assess if you have a too acidic diet, look up acid/alkaline foods to see.  I would recommend broccoli and spinach for more protein, they have the most protein/calories of any foods, just mix them into smoothies, they will help restore an alkaline body pH and give you lots of protein.

I no longer try to pack on pounds at the gym, I workout, I get stronger, I get bigger muscles, but I'm not gaining any weight, so its all fine.  I would say its more important to be putting on healthy weight, not just pumping your body so full it has no choice.  It overloads your digestive tract too.

:confused:  This is not true at all.  While quite nutritious, broccoli and spinach are much lower in protein AND calories than many other foods.  As an example, 100g of broccoli contains 3g of protein & 34 calories, whereas 100g of whole eggs contains 11g of protein and 155 calories.

Two of the main veggies i eat are spinach & brocoli
but i dont think they got much protein in them
more vitamins & minerals?

I dont think i have too much protein?

just the hemp shakes at workout
nuts to snack on
then some fish or chicken with my dinner

i also have brown pasta at dinner & bread at lunch
with omega 3 at both meals

Also the hemp is supposed to really help with the acidic problem
supposedly the reason why gorrilas are so buff is cause they get so much plant protein & have very alkaline system cause of it, so theyre bodies just turn it into muscle really easily as all the nutrients are absorbed

i dont care about weight at all
you'll never catch me on a scale anyway
i just want to be healthy & at the optimum performance of my age
which at the moment im definatley not due to teenage years of drug abuse & smoking like a chimney

I love that site :smile:  It is fun just to see what you can come up with.  Highest protein/lowest cost, highest protein/lowest calories, you can play with the ratios of what you want until you get the perfect protein to fit your needs.  Plus there are so many types of protein to choose from, each with their own pluses and minuses.

I said Protein/Calories as in a ratio, sorry if that wasn't clear: 3g/34cal > 11g/155cal.

The hemp protein is still acidifying if you're eating too much.  If your eating the optimum amount the your body will be utilizing it and it will not be burned for energy thereby maintaining an alkaline milieu.

I don't have experience with it but I was thinking about starting to eat it. I found this website selling pretty cheap hempseed:

http://www.globalhempstore.com/hemp-food/nutiva-bulk-shelled-hemp.html

I thought it was around 30 USD before....but $20 off the normal price is still pretty good.

Well, 100g. of raw egg white is 11g. protein/48 calories.  I'm not suggesting that broccoli is not a fantastic source of nutrition, but it is not a superior protein source.

Do you have sources for this?  All my sources say that hemp seed is highly alkalinizing.

Re: Hemp Protein? [Re: Veritas]

Its just basic body chemistry, the hemp seed is alkalizing, but if your body has too much protein and not enough carbs it will break down protein for energy, and this process is acidifying.  You just can't be eating too much protein then it becomes more acidifying.

Veritas first you used numbers for a whole egg, then you switched to egg white, yes egg white is almost pure protein, but I was talking about whole foods, I'm not going to waste a yolk, or buy just egg whites, once again I like my foods whole.

When I eat broccoli/greens I try to eat pounds of it, you get lots of protein and good nutrients that way, plus all those veggies are super alkalizing because of all the minerals.  But eggs, or meat are acidifying, that's why I was advocating getting proteins from broccoli and greens, like spinach.  They have as much, or more, protein/calories as whole eggs and so much more.  Sure animal protein is fine, but eating so many concentrated proteins is bad.

I just want to get the point across that, if your up to eat eating a kilo of salad with lots of spinach and broccoli, you will get better protein, better digestion, and better nutrition.

Stomach stretching comes into play here you need to be able to eat lots of salad to get all that protein, sure egg is a more concentrated protein source, but is far far from a SUPERIOR protein source.  A big salad with spinach and broccoli, if it was 1 kilo like I eat would have at least 20 grams of protein from broccoli/greens alone and it's a super alkalizing meal.  Now if you really feel like you need more protein, it is great to complement with meat or nuts.  By eating all that salad, you are getting lots of protein and helping to digest any other concentrated proteins, fats or carbs whichever you choose to eat with it.

What I am trying to say is that veggies like broccoli are a far superior source of protein from a nutritional stand point, now if you have ten minutes to eat and need some protein, eggs are on your side, but vegetables are always the best.

Lastly, all those other nutrients in the veggies are what makes the difference, by eating all those pounds of fresh veggies during the day you get so many vitamins and minerals, which are key to health, weight training, etc.

The whole concept that food causes an alkalinization of the body, and it's claimed health benefits are unsupported pseudoscience. I concede that a kilo of broccoli hight give you 20 grams of protein, but who eats a kilo of broccoli at a setting? 4 oz of chicken breast will give you 27 grams of protein for only 110 calories...broccoli...while healthy... would require that you eat over 2 pounds of it to get 20 grams of protein. It is a good source of green vegetables and antioxidants, but a piss poor protein source. I am all for loads of vegetables, but they are part of the equation...not the whole deal.

Quote:

That statement promotes dysfunction. That I should need to eat so much to get a few paltry grams of protein is ridiculous. I would need 15 pounds of broccoli to get my allotted protein for the day, and it would not be a balanced diet...lol.
