I used to be against using ANY protein powder at all.

After reading the China Study and observing other successful civilizations that did not get a ton of protein, I figured I’d be fine operating on the protein I got from food. I knew that overloading on protein was stressful to the kidneys and since I am not a pro athlete or bodybuilder, why worry about it?

But as I continued to develop in strength and set my sight on some sizable fitness bench marks, I sought role models. I realized that ALL of the people I looked up to promoted taking at least some protein after working out. They weren’t promoting hundreds of grams a day, just a scoop or two after an intensive training session.

In the spirit of keeping an open mind, I decided to try it out and was quite happy with the results. It helped me recover from workouts more quickly and was helping me get leaner as well by offering high density nutrition at a relatively low calorie cost.

It turns out that after taxing your muscles with an intense session of resistance training, your muscles seek amino acids to begin the rebuilding. If the aminos are not present or in short supply, the body will metabolize existing muscle tissue in order to support the growth of new muscle tissue. Unfortunately solid food is not digested and absorbed in time to supply the needed protein to prevent metabolizing muscle tissue.

This means much of that hard work of trying to build muscle in order to get a leaner body and get stronger essentially goes to waste.

I don’t know about you but I HATE the idea of not getting the absolute most out of the time and pain I invest training.

That sold me on the idea of using protein powder. However, I came up against another quandary:

What are all these other ingredients on the labels? What are all these chemicals? How clean is the dairy that’s being used in the Whey products? Or if I use Soy, doesn’t that promote estrogen? Even the Soy proteins had tons of weird chemicals I had never heard of.

I want to get stronger and leaner but I am not going to put potentially toxic crap in my body to do so. That kinda defeats the whole purpose…

I didn’t know how to solve this until I stumbled across Sun Warrior. What an excellent product!

I am no scientist but I knew intuitively that a product with only 5 ingredients compared to 30 or more was a much better option.  Here’s the label for the Chocolate flavor. The natural flavor has even less ingredients.

The short list of ingredients, all of which I know what they are, assures me I’m getting a nice clean, healthy food source, in addition to helping me power up and build invaluable lean tissue.

The other reason I feel so comfortable promoting Sun Warrior is that so many health “gurus,”  WAY more paranoid about food than I am, back this product. These are people that make their living as watch dogs, ferreting out problems with our food supply and informing the public. If they’re willing to stake their reputation on it, people like the “Health Ranger” Mike Adams from Natural News, then you know it’s got to be good.

If you’re trying to burn fat long term, you need to increase the ratio of lean tissue to fat tissue. The miracle of protein is that it allows you to run a calorie deficit, say 500 per day to lose 1 lb of fat per week, while preserving your muscle. Without getting high quality protein sources, a calorie deficit will cause your body to burn both muscle and fat which is the norm for weight loss.

Supplementing with a lean protein source like this allows you to protect your muscle while still shrinking your body size over all.

I take one scoop nearly everyday and most of our veteran members of ClackFit do the same. You want some too right?
