Weight Gain Powder In a world plagued by an epidemic of obesity and filled with people obsessed with weight loss, it is not easy to find information on weight gain. However, people who are underweight, sportspersons and body builders are always on the lookout for the best weight gain supplements that they can use to increase their body mass and muscle strength. Gaining weight and being healthy with a lean and strong body can be achieved with the right combination of balanced meals, appropriate exercises, and supplements like protein powders for weight gain. A weight gain powder is a nutritional supplement that can be mixed with water, milk or juice and consumed as a snack between meals, or used as a healthy thirst quencher after a session at the gym. An ideal time to drink a beverage made with a weight gain powder would be early in the morning when the body is hungry for nutrients after an eight-hour gap of sleep. Weight gain powders are rich in proteins like whey protein, which can be digested faster than any other protein, thus helping the body’s muscles regroup after getting rid of unwanted fat and becoming stronger after an exercise like weight training. Proteins are the building blocks in the muscle building process, and by using protein powder, weight gain is faster and made simpler. Without weight gain supplements, an athlete would have to consume enormous amounts of protein rich food like milk, red meat, eggs all through the day to build muscles, and may thereby inevitably consume more fats and carbohydrates than intended. Weight gain powders are convenient because they provide the essential nutrients in a form that is easy to digest and assimilate. So does weight gain powder work? Weight gain protein powders are judged based on the biological value (BV) of the protein they contain. The biological value indicates how much and how quickly the body absorbs and uses the protein. In any weight gain powder review, one would have to take into account the taste and the flavors available, as the best weight gain powder is the one that consumers like to add to their weight gain shake, time and again. There are different kinds of weight gain supplements for men and weight gain supplements for women in the market, but these may not be safe for use in the long run. Protein supplements are better than human growth hormone supplements as the latter could have several unpleasant side effects. Before buying any weight gain powder remember to check how much sugar is there in it. Excessive sugar amounts have lead to increased levels of serotonin as well as increased sugar levels in the blood. Many people have complained of feelings of irritability, drowsiness, and headaches due to this. Always ensure that you check the nutritional facts on the label for the amount of sugar it contains. If you are on a low budget and do not want to spend too much money on the weight gain powder, try making your own by mixing some protein powder with a couple of tablespoons of canola oil, flax, and some fruit for that added flavor. Additional protein and calories can be got by adding some egg whites and peanut butter to it. |
