You could be wasting your money by making one or more of the 7 mistakes I'm going to bring to you. The 1st on our list is the idea of drinking whey with milk. Whey is actually a protein extracted from the finest part of milk.

The person takes this noble protein and mixes it with raw milk, kind of "dirtying" the protein, because raw milk has fat, carbohydrates, but there are other things that are not as pure as this whey. And then, there's a lot of talk about this being a mistake, that you can't mix whey with milk, which ruins the whey. .

. And in fact, there's no problem at all, young man! Especially if it's whole milk, because whole milk has a lot of fat, and the fat makes it palatable.

You take advantage and have a look. The question is: will it ruin the whey? No.

You will even add: 1, flavor, and 2, a few more grams of protein. The question is: you will also add a few grams of carbohydrates, and if it is whole whey, a few grams of fat. For you, is this a problem or not?

If you are on a more restrictive diet, adding these macronutrients may not be interesting. The vast majority of the time, this is not a problem. Yes, you can take your whey with milk, or with water, or with juice, there is no problem.

The 2nd mistake is taking whey with the wrong amount of water. Did you know that? - I did not know.

- Depending on the amount of water you add to the whey, it is more interesting for one moment of the day or another. - Damn! - First: let's reinforce that whey is protein extracted from milk.

It is a high amount of protein. If you add too little water, the solubility becomes too dense. This denser way of administering whey will reach your stomach and will take longer to be digested.

Of course, it won't take 5 hours, it's not a feijoada. Now, if you add an ideal amount of water, you may ask “what is the ideal amount? ” Just read the product label.

There is the amount of product, and the amount of water they indicate to dilute. If you dilute this whey well, it will reach your stomach in a lighter, more diluted form, and will be better absorbed. Supimpa, I understand.

When do I use each one? So it is. Then, I'm going to bring you a bit of a trick, a trick of the bodybuilder.

If you're taking your post-workout whey, and you're going to have a meal in half an hour, 40 minutes, you dilute it more, so it goes down quickly to the intestine, you can absorb it, free up space, because it's going to come with a crunch. - Smart, huh? - Oh, tei!

If you take your whey before bed, how long do you sleep? 7, 8 hours? - Maybe 12.

. . - Are you going to eat while you're sleeping?

Most likely not. So, it is interesting that you administer it in a way that has slower absorption. The 3rd mistake is taking the wrong amount of whey.

Then the business gets complicated. Some wheys have a higher concentration. Others, a lower concentration.

See the product's nutritional table. You will have products that will have a concentration of 80%, others will have a concentration of 90%. You don't need to do the calculations based on the amount of product you ingest, the amount of whey, specifically, but the amount of protein it gives you.

Then, some calculations will start to come in, because you need to understand how much protein your body needs, and how much whey you have to use to meet this need. You need X grams of protein. You eat meat, chicken, eggs, - you eat these things.

- I like carbohydrates! Then, you will be able to get this amount of protein from these foods. What function does whey serve?

Make up for your lack. Let's imagine that you need 200g of protein, and with your meals you can ingest 160. Then, you take 40g of whey protein.

What happens a lot? People have no idea what they are doing, and they take whey because they have to. So, how much do you take?

One dose. But how many grams of protein does the dose contain? These grams of protein in the dose will influence your required amount of protein?

For us to have an interesting development for hypertrophy, you need an average of 2g per kg of weight. - Protein? - Protein.

And you may, at that moment, be taking less protein, or taking more protein. If you take more, what will happen is that you will pee more expensively, but if you take less, you could harm your hypertrophy. This brings us to the 4th mistake on the list, which is: some people take whey and don't need it.

You already understand that your body needs a certain amount of protein. When you eat meat, eggs, fish, chicken, you ingest protein. If you can already make up this amount with what you eat, there is no point in taking whey.

- You don't need to spend 100 reais per month. - No need. .

. R$100 per month, Ranizito? You, I think it takes a little more.

What happens is this: there are people who don't need to take whey because they already eat the necessary protein. Now, I confess to you that few people do this. In the vast majority of cases, there is a very large deficit in protein intake.

And whey comes in a beautiful way to meet this need. If I tell you: "you will have to eat 500g more meat per day". Wow, that's a lot.

So, I tell you: take two doses of whey. One at a time, and the other at such a time. If you decided and chose Drgon whey, you can relax, you didn't make a mistake with this one.

First, it's sad to say this, but it happens. So much so that a while ago, this became a huge controversy in the industry because they started to unmask the brands that did this. They sold you whey, and put a bunch of maltodextrin in, filling your ass with sugar.

Some brands are not deceiving you, they are misleading you. You arrive at the supplement store and say "I'm going to buy whey". There's a lot of product written what on the front?

Whey. You say "supimpa, this is cool", and then you look, R$59. 00.

Wow, this one is cheap, I'll take this one. In the fine print, it says: "contains whey". In fact, you are taking home a protein blend that has soy protein, which is cheap, egg protein, which is cheap, and when you add whey, it is a small amount.

80% soy protein, 10% egg protein, which is albumin, and 5% whey. But he can, according to legislation, put "whey" there. Why?

Why does it have whey? When you see that the price is very low, - be suspicious! - There's a wrong stop there, brother.

The brands sell whey for R$100, R$200, and the other sells it for R$40. When you look at the nutritional table, just below the table there are the ingredients of that product. I'm putting it on the screen so you can see Drgon's whey, so you can see the table and the ingredients, and one of these products, these protein blends that say it's whey.

But, in fact, they are showing on the nutritional table and in the ingredients what it really contains, and it is up to you as a consumer to be careful. 6th, this is customary. Take post-workout whey.

You finish training and take whey, people think it's great. But it could be a big mistake, you know? The question is: in the past, the idea of the "absorption window" was defended.

You finish training, you already have to send the whey there, your body is thirsty, it will absorb everything and so on. Is this wrong? Not totally.

But think with me. When you train your muscle, you encourage it to grow, right? For it to grow, it needs protein.

You're tired of hearing that you need to let your muscle rest to grow. - And how long do you need to let it rest? - I have no idea.

You need to let him rest for a few days. Immediately after training, your body begins to synthesize protein, and for that it needs protein. You take whey post-workout, and then you don't eat any more protein, you don't take any more whey, nothing else.

Your muscle needs protein constantly for it to build, it won't take all that protein and put it there. He takes a little and adds it, then you send him a little more and he adds it, and he does this over the days. I had this habit of only taking whey on the day I trained, and Lalá gave me a hard time.

- There, Ranizito, very good! - But I haven't fixed it yet. - Tramp!

- That's another question. Just because you haven't trained doesn't mean you don't need to take whey. - Laziness!

- Put it in your head, young man. You need to take whey to provide your body with protein. You provide your body with protein at all times of the day, because your body is constantly building [muscle!

] Many people take this post-workout whey along with creatine! Can it? In this video, I talk about the mistakes when taking creatine.

Bro, you might be doing shit! Creatine is good, right? You said it is one of the best supplements to use.
