Common Questions and Answers about Hormone free protein powder

I have decided to do smoothies for breakfast and have been told that I need protein in my smoothies to counteract the sugar from the fruit. I was wondering if I should just add greek yogurt or if I should purchase a protein powder. My goal is to lose weight so I don't want a powder that is for muscle building. Any suggestions?
Hi, I need help to choose good protein powder. I don't get enough protein from my food. I'm exercising 4-5 times a week at least one hour in the gym ( some days classes and some days cardio). My friend recommended to buy protein powder to build muscles and lose more weight. I have been reading a lot that 100% and most natural whey powder is really good but there are so many different ones and I don't know what to choose. Can you help me please?
Split peas contain 16 g protein per serving, spinach has 13 and chickpeas have 8 g protein/serving. Avocados have 1 g protein per ounce. A medium peach has 2 g protein and 149 grams of dried figs have 5 g protein.
I love avocado smoothies, but avocados have a lot of calories, so you have to watch that. Peaches would be okay.
You can make a smoothie using soy milk, and sugar free chocolate pudding mix, but the only protein you'd get is from the soy milk.
protein drinks and whey protein drinks aren't bad for growing boys. protein is the fastest way to spur muscle growth. i don't know what part of the world you live in, but you can find both of those products at Trader Joe's if that market is availible to you. If not you can find them at pretty much any health food store, major supermarket, or vitamin shop. some gyms like equinox sell those products also.
Yea I'd try to avoid the protein powder and get the protein I need from the food I eat. I'm a vegetarian so I get my protein from tofu and other foods made from soy, beans, nuts, and dairy products. You don't know all the ingredients in the protein powder so I'd ask my doctor about it.
You really need more information.
TSH is notoriously unreliable for much of anything although most Dr's seem to swear on this being the holy grail.
You also really need to get tested for the FREE form of the thyroid hormones. If the lab report only shows T4 then it is for "total" and not FREE. There is a significant difference. The Free hormone is unattached and therefore "free" of a protein. Once a protein attaches itself to the hormone it becomes useless.
I usually use whey protein powder mixed with water or sometimes almond milk, and I find it very easy on my system, easy for my body to digest and absorb (instead of eating a high-in-protein steak). I also sometimes use a plant based protein powder, but I find whey protein dissolves very easily in water compared to plant based proteins. I don't eat mammals, but I'm aware beef protein powder exists but it is not on the menu for me.
1 or 4:1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein may help promote optimal recovery, as protein can help build and repair muscle tissue, leading to weight and muscle gain.
Vitamins C and E may help. The health benefits when consumed individually, some research suggests that combining the two supplements may help you gain weight.
Do any of you ladies use protein powder for protein shakes? If so, which kind do you use? I bought the chocolate Special K brand protein shake but after reading the label more carefully I am not sure this is safe to drink. I was hoping to find a premade protein shake or a powder that mixes easily with chocolate milk. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
One of my favorite smoothies is a a scoop of protein powder, 1 serving (1/2-1 cup) plain fat free Greek yogurt, 1 Haas avocado, 1/2 cup water, lime juice to taste. Blend and enjoy. Yes, avocado has fat in it, but your body requires a certain amount... opt, mostly, for the monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and you'll be fine.
I'm also going to try the recipe above, using 1/2 cup pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling, but regular pumpkin) in place of the avocado and lime juice.
YES.
it is very common for people with out of balance thyroid to have anxiety and also depression. Interestingly, these are two symptoms that seem to not be specific as to whether too high or too low of thyroid as anxiety in particular can be present in either condition.
Have you had thyroid levels checked? IF so please post your results. If not be sure when you go in to DEMAND that Free T3 and Free T4 be tested.
Your thyroid produces the hormone T4 which is converted mostly by the liver, although on its way it comes into contact with protein, some is carried away by this protein, what gets converted is Free T4, after conversion, the contact with protein occurs again, some T3 is carried away, once it contacts protein, it is not usable by the bodies cells, so what is left is Free T3, the active hormone your body functiosn by, when ths hormone is low, your body slows down (Decreased Metabolism) The Pituita
What is 1300?
If that is TSH. That would indicate that you have LOW thyroid. Or Hypo thyroid.
TSH is a hormone that is telling your thyroid to turn on and produce thyroid hormone. So with such a high number your pituitary gland is BEGGING your thyroid to produce hormone.
But apparently for whatever reason your thyroid is not hearing this or can not produce the hormone.
You really need more blood tests to tell us more.
First though, what symptoms are you having?
I found a vegetable based protein powder in the health food section of the market by Naturade. It is Soy-free and dairy-free. I make smoothies every morning with this. I also found Hemp Milk at Whole Foods which is completely dairy, soy and salt free, in addition to salt free soups, chicken broth and other quick prep stuff. The diet is extremely restricted, but it's only for a limited time and for a very, very good reason.
