Meal Replacements:
Meal replacements
are probably the most valuable and underrated supplement on the
market. In fact, they really are not supplements at all when you
come to think of it. They should be complete meals, which most
meal replacements are not. Many have no vitamins or minerals in
them, therefore your body is being starved of these needed nutrients,
which in turn causes your body not to lose weight or gain the
muscle mass you are looking for. People are always looking for
the magic solution to fat loss or building muscle, buying some
drink or pill that promises miraculous results. We gain body fat
by having poor eating habits, so the only way to undo the damage
is to reverse the cycle by developing good eating habits. LifeSource’s
Meal Replacements can help make this possible.
Who

providing.
Our Meal Replacements are sweetened
with Stevia, not Sucralose or Fructose. In numerous studies
these sweeteners have been found to be harmful.

Most whey protein comes from milk that’s
been pasteurized, but what does pasteurization mean and why is
it important? Pasteurization (heating the milk at very high temperatures)
by definition means the complete destruction of all the enzymes
in the milk. Milk is declared pasteurized when you don’t
find any enzymes left.
But pasteurization not only kills the enzymes
which are important complex proteins it also:
1. Alters the amino acids in the milk and destroys
many of the important proteins
2. Destroys the unsaturated fatty acids
3. Kills most of the vitamins
4. Reduces the availability of the minerals
So after pasteurization the milk is for all intense
purposes not only essentially dead but puts a strain on your body
because your pancreas needs to produce lots of digestive enzymes
to digest and absorb the dead milk! Understanding how pasteurization
affects the quality of the milk is incredibly important because
the quality of the Whey protein powder, bars and drinks can only
be as good as the milk its coming from. Dead processed milk can
only produce dead processed whey protein and that’s not
what you want to feed your body if you want to be healthy and
excel on the sports field. So the second step in choosing a quality
Whey protein product is to make sure the milk used to produce
the whey protein has not been pasteurized at high temperatures!
1. Our whey protein comes from grass fed cows
that are disease-free, pesticide-free, chemical-free, hormone
treatment-free and GMO-free.
2. The milk used to make our whey has not been
pasteurized or processed at high temperatures that destroy all
the freshness & goodness in the milk.
3. The processing
of these whey proteins are done at cold temperatures and in a
way that doesn't damage the fragile protein fragments or cultures.
4. The whey protein is not a by product of a cheese
making process that damages the proteins.
For years LifeSource’s
World Class Bodybuilders, Professional, Olympic Athletes and Fitness
Enthusiasts worked hard to create a better body, lose fat, gain
muscle have been sold on LifeSource’s Meal Replacements.
The reason is simple; the best way to build a bigger, stronger
and more muscular physique is to adhere to a solid nutrition program
in conjunction with your exercise routine. This means focusing
on eating five to six meals per day that contain the proper ratios
of high-quality protein, fibrous complex carbohydrates and essential
fats, and not just any meal replacement can deliver this. In addition,
each meal should contain a wide range of vitamins, minerals and
other important micronutrients necessary for your body to stay
healthy during weight loss.
Replace one, two or three of your whole food meals with our meal
replacements and you will drastically start cutting out unneeded
calories, calories that can add up and, if not burned off, be
stored as body fat. Doing this will drastically reduce your body
fat! And you will feel better when your body adjusts to not having
so much solid food to digest. It is almost an awakening for your
body when it figures out you are not eating so much solid food;
it can then grab more nutrients from your solid food than normal.
LifeSource’s Meal Replacements provide a perfect, compact
meal in a formula that is high in protein, low in fat and are
low in carbohydrates, and contain a wide array of vitamins and
minerals. They are low in sugar and contain no cholesterol. They
are very nutrient dense and can be mixed easily and conveniently.
In order to get the same benefits from whole food as one of our
shakes, you would have to put together a large meal like a couple
chicken breasts (protein), a potato/rice/pasta for some carbs,
and salad/veggies for the vitamins six times a day. Why bother
when you can just take our powder and toss it into a cup with
some water or milk and shake it and drink it, it is that easy.
Safe weight loss and lean mass building is the key.
Instant
Nutrition:
They are actually pretty cheap too, considering you're getting
an entire meal for roughly 2 dollars! It's impossible to find
something this nutritious, high in protein and low in calories
for fewer than 2 bucks.
Many people we have spoken to over the years attribute meal replacements
being one of the biggest reasons why they were able to lose a
lot of body fat weight. We are able to provide a vitamin-rich,
high-protein, low carb meal with 282 calories. All of this for
about 2 dollars a meal. You cannot even buy a Happy Meal for fewer
than 2.00 dollars and Happy Meals are loaded with fat!
LifeSource Meal Replacements deliver an exceptional nutritional
platform to help you stay lean while delivering vital nutrients
for building size and strength. If you are serious about maximizing
your body's ability to change, or to lose those unwanted pounds,
then this is the right meal replacement for you.
Why LifeSource Meal Replacements Are The Perfect Bodybuilding
And Fitness Supplement:
LifeSource has taken meal replacements to the next level. Until
now meal replacements have been virtually all the same, each one
claiming to be the best ever, or most perfect. They often attempt
to prove this by using test results based on P.E.R. (Protein Efficiency
Ratio) or, B.V. (Biological Value). Neither of these methods of
testing are F.D.A. (Food and Drug Administration) required methods
to determine protein quality. The recent published F.D.A. Nutrition
labeling regulations make P.D.C.A.A.S. (Protein Digestibility
Corrected Amino Acid Score) the true method for measuring the
overall quality of protein. P.D.C.A.A.S. differ from P.E.R and
most B.V. evaluations because it is based on actual human amino
acid requirements.
There are nine amino acids which your body cannot synthesize (produce).
These are referred to as the E.A.A's (Essential Amino Acids).
The only way to provide your body with enough E.A.A's is by eating
or drinking them. This is the reason why the F.D.A uses P.D.C.A.A.s.
scoring. The score can range from 0.00 (lowest possible) to 1.00
(perfect score). In order to score high, all essential amino acids
must be present n the F.D.A. required amounts and must be extremely
digestible. Our Meal Replacement scores 1.00 (perfect score on
the F.D.A. required P.D.C.A.A.S. method). This is the highest
obtainable score! Can your meal replacement say this? If another
protein claims to be better, it can't be, our Meal Replacement
is un-matched and quite simply the best! No protein can have a
P.D.C.A.A.S score higher than 1.00! Many companies try to make
proteins digest quicker, eliminating or scissoring B.C.A.A.'s
(branched chain amino acids.) This means their formulas have to
be taken in small quantities several times daily. Our Meal Replacement
formulas eliminate this inconvenience by having a very complete
amino acid profile. Both long and short and also branched chain
amino acids are present to give you many hours of protein utilization!
LifeSource’s Meal Replacement contains proteins from four
protein sources. These are ion exchanged whey, egg (Albumen),
milk (caseins) and 10% soy (soy isolate). The advantage of having
4 sources is that they provide the adequate amounts of amino acids
needed for maximum growth some companies claim to have as many
as fifty (50) sources of protein. There are only so many amino
acids therefore; there is no advantage of having that many protein
sources. Lastly, our Meal Replacements formulas taste great! They
really are delicious and make losing weight and creating lean
mass much easier.
Superior Protein Technology — each serving of LifeSource’s
Meal Replacements contains a diverse blend of proteins from whey
and micellar casein as well as added free form L- Glutamine. This
protein system takes advantage of the most current scientific
information regarding slow and fast acting proteins for maximizing
whole body protein retention. These specific proteins have shown
in recent scientific studies to increase protein synthesis over
60% and increase protein utilization over 30% for maximum body-changing
benefits.

is a study by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition:
Meal replacement supplements:
Although they
provide carbohydrate, protein and some fat, meal replacement supplements
and protein bars have a bad reputation with some nutritionists
as nothing more than glorified candy bars. Recent studies, however,
show that meal replacement supplements have an important role
to play in the diet of anyone who wants to lose fat and build
muscle.
A good example comes from a study published in the American Journal
of Clinical Nutrition. Researchers from the University Hospital
of Ulm in Germany assessed the effects of low-calorie diet combined
with meal replacements on weight loss in a group of 100 obese
patients [4]. Subjects were assigned to one of two groups. Group
one was told to consume a low-calorie diet consisting of conventional
foods. The second group received the same instructions, but used
meal replacement bars and snacks. Two years later, average weight
loss in the group using the meal replacement supplements was twice
as great compared to the group relying on conventional methods.
This wasn't because the meal replacement supplements contained
any magical fat burning ingredients. Rather, they just made it
easier for the men and women taking part in the study to stick
to their diet. Researchers from the University of Nevada report
similar results. Women using meal replacement supplements were
able to maintain a far greater weight loss over the course of
a year than those using other methods to control their weight
[1].
Along with powdered meal replacement supplements, there are numerous
protein bars and powders available. The problem comes when deciding
which product you should use. Magazines aren't really much help.
Because they float on advertising dollars, most popular magazines
are reluctant to print anything that will discourage potential
advertisers. Either that, or the supplement company and the magazine
are owned by the same people! Their comments can hardly be considered
unbiased.
Many of the studies use the Slim-Fast® range of meal replacement
supplements. As popular as they are, if you check the ingredients
in a Slim-Fast® drink or powder, you'll see they contain little
more than skimmed milk powder and sucrose. In other words, Slim-Fast®
is just milk, table sugar and flavorings — mixed with a
little fiber and xanthan gum to thicken the drink and help you
feel fuller for longer.
Is this what
you want in your body?
