Bulk Nutrition: Saving Money on the Products You Use


Bulk Nutrition isn’t just about size, it is about value.
Find Bulk Nutrition at Discount Prices at WorldClassNutrition.com

There is nothing cheap about obtaining that perfect physique you have been dreaming of...regardless of the dream. If you are on a budget, you have probably had to make the hard choice between this product and that product. Sacrificing some the speed in which you could have reached your goals and wasting time and energy.

There is a reason stores like Costco and Sam’s Club are so popular (anyone who knows me, knows my undying love for Costco!): shopping in bulk. Buying a surplus of the stuff you use anyway to save money, lots of it.

Mass by American Sports Nutrition 25lbs ($89.99): An Elite Weight Gain Formula to achieve Maximum Mass through Muscle growth. American Mass by American Sports Nutrition is an elite weight gain formula. Maximum Mass through muscle growth is available when you supplement your diet and workout program with American Mass.

You have to spend a little more than you are used to on the front end to achieve the savings, but the amount of time that goes in between purchases is worth it and the reduced cost per serving is a reward in its self. For example, the 5 pound Mass by American Sports Nutrition is $21.99. It would take 5 of these to equal the amount in the 25 pound container. Five would cost you $109.95 so, it is like buying four and getting one for free.

Steel Bar American Body Building 24 per box ($21.99): Steel Bars Are Back! These boxes contain 24 bars that are all crammed with 16 grams protein and 19 vitamins and minerals, not to mention their crunchy texture and satisfying taste! All for less than a dollar a bar! I repeat, "All this for less than a dollar a bar."

If you went and bought these bars one at a time you could spend up to $4.50 per bar! STOP throwing money down the drain! Keeping bars on hand (in your drawer at work or gym bag) will help you from stopping for fast food or making a run to the vending machine, saving you money and high calorie, diet sabotaging foods.

You can find these deals and so many more at WorldClassNurtition.com

HumaPro...Mamma Always Said...

ALRI has unveiled another innovation in the fitness industry. HumaPro is their newest protein and the only protein on the market designed to mimic human milk. Anyone who knows me, knows I am against dairy. I have always been against promoting the only species (us) who drinks another mammals milk (cows). I have never wanted to develop like a cow so I have never understood drinking the very thing that nurses calf's, but I digress (if I don't move on, I may never get off this introduction).

ALRI wondered the same thing but took it a step further. The protein supplements we are bombarded with in the fitness industry are components of milk: whey and casein. ALRI did the research to find out the differences between cow and human milk (and there are several).

Cow milk is about 80% casein and 20% whey. Human milk starts off about 40% casein and 60% whey and as the baby grows, breast milk proteins change until the ratio is about 50/50.

They whey in human milk is predominantly alpha-lactalbumin while the whey in cow milk is dominate in beta-lactoglobulin. ALRI reported: "Whereas alpha-lactalbumin has been studied well for validation associated with increased immune factors to disease, allergies, increased mineral absorption and growth factors specific to humans, beta-lactoglobulin has been associated with the exact opposite."


Pretty interesting information if you as me...you didn't but you are still reading :) So if human and cow's milk is fundamentally different to produce separate actions in the receiving system, why are we consuming the ingredients to build a cow?

I haven't tried it yet (it just came available to distributors yesterday), but I will be. It could change the game...ohhh did I mention ALRI says HumaPro has a calorie of 0.4 per gram (traditional protein has 4 calories/gram). So you can get better protein, none of the side effects and consume fewer calories in the process? Too good to be true? We'll see.

Burning Muscle in Your Sleep? Try This Recipe

During the night your body is 'starved' of protein and can cause catabolism (break down of muscle tissue). You can fight this by adding Casein at night. 

My Favorite Casein Recipe:
1.5 scoops Optimum Casein (vanilla)
¼ cup Frozen Berries
¼ cup Whole Oats
½ t Cinnamon
2 packets of Splenda (or your favorite sweetener)
Water

In a bowl, mix casein, berries, cinnamon, and sweetener with enough water to make a thick batter. Top with oats and freeze for approximately 15 minutes or until solid. Be careful not to freeze too long. The consistency should be like ice cream.
