I tried one years ago with little success; I believe it was soy based versus the recommended whey... I'd long given up on cereal because it wasn't filling (especially after exercising) and I can't always tolerate milk. I do like the egg substitutes and some of the vegetarian-based breakfast products, however.<br /><br />Hope you are well, Lauren. I'm still enjoying your "Ultimate" workout!<br /><br />--Anita in Birmingham, ALUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974381743321669588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575702397304431805.post-67632916239231842942008-09-24T06:57:00.000-07:002008-09-24T06:57:00.000-07:00Franz,Yes the shake is awesome, isn't it?

Even with all the other healthy stuff added it actually is still tasty which is very nice. I wouldn't be able to drink it if I couldn't stand the taste. <BR/><BR/>We are all looking forward to see you guys too! We'll call or text you when we finalize a place and time. 8-)Lauren Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329485509526075515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575702397304431805.post-9630505229953201712008-09-24T06:55:00.000-07:002008-09-24T06:55:00.000-07:00Super trainer,It can definitely be so true!

That would probably be a staple of mine if I didn't have any access to good protein shakes or quality Ezekiel Bread.<BR/><BR/>So stoked that you are spreading the kettlebell love in Peru! Say what's up to everyone for me. I can do an ichat this Sunday if you are around. I was in a wedding this weekend so had no time.

Your suggestions sound awesome, but do you have any ideas for people who might not have access to these special health foods? Or maybe don{t have time to cook a proper morning meal? Thanks! You rock woman. :D<BR/>PS they are starting to love the bells in Peru.... :)Jammisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041512554915511576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575702397304431805.post-18340715765121039822008-09-05T10:12:00.000-07:002008-09-05T10:12:00.000-07:00Sara,Yeah it's a pretty great article.

Fortunately after searching for years I was able to find 2 or 3 places that actually have very light processing methods that have the highest quality sources you can find without the chemicals. <BR/><BR/>Of course natural protein sources would be better, but unfortunately in our society we can hardly eat anything with the same nutrients we would have had many many years ago. In that case we are forced to have supplementation to make up for what we are not getting in our foods. Our fish is so tainted with mercury we can't even eat fish regularly like we should. <BR/><BR/>If you find high quality products such as the ones I recommended which are not made from synthetic crap, you give yourself a much higher chance for optimal health versus the overly highly heated, over pesticide laden cereals with almost no nutrition value.Lauren Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329485509526075515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575702397304431805.post-68967347251244161042008-09-04T01:07:00.000-07:002008-09-04T01:07:00.000-07:00I think it is interesting that you reject the cere...I think it is interesting that you reject the cereals on the basis that they are processed yet the proteins and greens sources you consume are highly processed. I agree that cereal is not a good choice for a whole lot of reasons and I also think that good protein powders are a convenient way to get what seems to be fairly high quality nutrition but if, as a philosophy for health, I was into avoided highly processed foods I would have to get my protein from whole, natural foods and my greens from, well, greens. Just saying... I wanted to bring this up because I see this rhetoric all the time about how we should avoid processed foods and be all natural and in the same breath the magazine is talking up the wonders of protein powder. It is a bit of pet peeve of mine because we need to be honest and admit, as tasty and convenient as the stuff is, it is super processed stuff yo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
