How do you make a good healthy protein shake?
Ok I have been looking and looking for a good recipe for a protein shake. Almost everything I ive seen has something to do with steriods. So can someone tell me a safe recipe? Or can someone tell me a safe product i can buy?
Thanks a Bunch!

In my opinion, the best protein shakes are the ones you make at home with a blender. If you don’t have a blender, you can find one pretty cheap at Wal-mart, Target, K-mart, etc. Purchase a good protein powder at a health food store. If you’re trying to lose weight, use a whey product, otherwise just regular protein powder is fine. Mix a scoop of the powder with 1-cup milk (skim to lose weight), 1/2-cup plain yogurt, and fruit–fresh or frozen. The shake will be healthy and delicious. You can make a million variations using different fruits, flavorings, instant coffee, chocolate syrup, etc. The web page below has lots of protein shake recipes.

They are mostly geared towards weight loss, so just change the skim milk for regular and the fat-free yogurt for regular. Enjoy!

Is it dangerous to drink olive oil as a weight gainer?
I need to meet a deadline for weight.
Olive oil has a lot of calories per tablespoon (130-200)
If I were to drink 2 cups of olive oil a day to maximize my calorie intake (Over a course of 1- 1 1/2 month) are there any dangerous Long term or short term effects?
After one month I Will NEVER consume that much again.

That’s a bad idea. Even if you could add fat to your body by drinking olive oil, you’re just going to lose it when you stop drinking the olive oil. If you want to keep the fat, you’ll have to continue drinking the olive oil or replace it with something else. And, if you’re going to replace it, why not do that now and eat food?
Your plan is misguided and bad for your body. Oil is fat. If you want to gain weight, you should eat a good and proper diet of food and just increase your portions. If you do that, you’ll still have a healthy diet. Here’s how you should eat.
Whether you want to gain weight, lose weight, add muscle, or maintain, you should use the same diet. In other words, everyone should be eating essentially the same macro nutrients (carbs, fats, protein), micro nutrients (vitamins, minerals, fiber, etc.) barring special health or medical considerations because we all have essentially the same physiognomy and there is only one version of peak health. Here is how we should all eat according to the US National Institute of Health who are among the best health professionals in the world and the people doctors listens to in the US.
OPTIMAL INTAKE
Eat varied, wholesome, and high quality foods such that your daily caloric intake is about equal to your daily caloric burn while keeping your macro nutrient ratios at about 55/25/20 (%calories from carbs/fats/protein) or whatever works for your goals. Go here for more about macros –> http://www.freedieting.com/tools/nutrient_calculator.htm . Only slight changes should be made in the macro nutrient ratios to accommodate the extreme demands of special activities such as extreme athletics or inactivity due to illness.
Note: Here are the details in case you’re interested:

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/nutrition.html
YOU MUST make your own food choices (no supplements without a doctor’s recommendation) based on your location, culture, available foods, personal preferences, personal resources, food allergies, etc. However, the words “varied”, “wholesome”, and “high quality” are important. And, you should consume your food in 4-6 daily meals with healthy snacks between such that you’re nourishing yourself every two hours when awake.
VARIED means a variety of foods including fruits, dairy, meats, vegetables, grains, nuts, etc.
WHOLESOME means as unprocessed, unrefined, nutritious as is practical.
HIGH QUALITY means using the best ingredients, the least contaminants or fillers or unnecessary chemicals, etc.
TRACKING
Nutrient tracking is necessary to ensure you have the optimal caloric intake and macro nutrient balance. For most people, tracking is only required for fat loss because of the difficulty in cutting intake and nutrients while maintaining digestive and appetite satisfaction. However, tracking is an excellent exercise for noobs who are just learning how to eat right for the first time. Tracking makes it necessary to read labels, look up food nutrients, record data, plan meals and recipes, etc. And, as annoying as it may be to have to track, it is easier to do today than ever before with the help of website such as My Fitness Pal —> http://www.myfitnesspal.com .
Even if you’re planing on lose the fat you’ve gained after you “make weight”, the olive oil plan is still less enjoyable than eating food and the food will provide you with a solid nutrition profile. The olive oil could have unwanted side effect as well depending on how your body reacts to it.
Good luck and good health!!

To help you know more about it, here are some of the things it covers.
What is in it?
Generally, the Fat Loss for Idiots is a guide to losing weight and fat as the name implies. In the book, you will be able to read the rules involved in weight loss. These rules, also known as “10 Idiot Proof Rules of Weight Loss” are easy to understand and follow as they are stated in the simplest terms.

Another thing that the e-book contains is the diet generator. The book will give you meal plans that will last you for 11 days. So for each day, the book has a menu for you to follow.
What does it promise?
Fat Loss for Idiots promises a lot of things. For the most part, it promises to make you really lose weight. To be specific, the ebook is able to make you lose 9 pounds every eleven days. With the ebook, you can be sure to lose a lot of weight in a short time.
Another big promise the ebook gives is that it can make you lose weight using a healthy meal plan. Many weight lose plans make you lose weight by skipping and scrimping on some things that your body needs such as fat. With the ebook, you can be sure that you won’t be having any of this. As a matter of fact, it will give you a menu of foods that are complete of the nutrients that your body needs. With this, you can be sure that even if you are losing weight, you are also well nourished.

Unlike other weight loss guides that specifically tell you certain things such as forcing you to eat meat, the Fat Loss for Idiots respects your diet preferences. With this, anybody can take part of the program.
What are the recipes in the diet generator?
Most of the time, people get turned off by diet plans because they either contain complicated recipes or make them eat prepackaged foods. As you can see, these diet plans make you shell out more money than you want to. With them, you can be sure that sooner or later, your body will lose weight or your wallet will.
The recipes in the ebook’s diet generator are simple. They are easy to prepare. Another thing is that the recipes are also cheap. Because of these descriptions, many have said that the diets are “Spartan”.
With all these positive things and more being offered by Fat Loss for Idiots guidebook, it is small wonder why it has become very popular. Read more about it to learn more or better yet, take part in it and see the difference.
