Protein Powders And Drinks - Which Are The Best For You?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jenny @ 8:19 pm

If you have never tried protein powders before then you don’t know what you are missing. I tried one a couple of weeks ago with chocolate flavor and I couldn’t believe I haven’t tried any before. It was surprisingly delicious and nutritious. I skipped an entire meal after taking a full glass of this tasty drink.

I searched a lot and found out that Wonderlife offer similar protein powder supplements to the one I used. Judging from their supplement facts they also taste great.

Whey Protein Powder

It offers you two different flavors – chocolate and vanilla. There is no way not to like one of them. Mine is chocolate

Whey protein is one of the best and most valuable proteins for human body. It is isolated from whey and is very easily digested and absorbed. Whey protein powders contain all of the essential amino acids in biologically significant amounts, which make them one of the best and most complete sources of proteins and amino acids you can find.

Whey proteins have three main forms: concentrate, isolate and hydrolysate. Wonderlife Whey Protein Powder contains all of them. Here are its ingredients in short: whey protein concentrate, partially predigested (hydrolyzed) whey protein concentrate, micro-filtered and ion-exchanged whey protein isolate.

Egg Protein Powder

If you love vanilla flavor then this egg protein powder is just for you.

Egg white protein is very high valued and very important for our bodies. It scores 1.0 at PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score), which is the most relevant measure of the quality of proteins for humans and by the way that is the official rating system used by the World Health Organization.

This egg white protein powder contains 23 g of proteins and 113 calories per serving. No sugar, no cholesterol and completely fat free.

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jenny @ 4:30 pm

During the summer of 2007, Pat Hennessey, Publisher of the Hair Transplant Network had the privilege of visiting with and observed both Dr. Bessam and Nilofer Farjo perform two excellent and ultra refined hair transplant surgeries over a period of 2 days. To see the highlights of Pat’s tour of the Farjo Clinic and other leading clinics in Europe, visit “Tour of Leading Clinics in Europe - Spring 2007“.

Mick McHugh, the patient coordinator of the Farjo Clinic recently sent Pat the one year hair restoration results from one of the patients he observed. To see these impressive results, visit Photos from May Visit to the Farjo Clinic in Manchester, England. We invite you to see this patient’s one year results. Mick intends to take the photos of the other patient’s one year results in the near future.

In our opinion, the work the Farjo clinic is now performing is on par with the very best hair restoration clinics in North America.

Hair Transplant Oddities: A Gradual but Normal Process

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jenny @ 7:13 pm

hair transplant photoThough most hair replacement patients are aware that transplanted hair grows in gradually, many of you 6 months after surgery may be wondering why it still appears thin and doesn’t quite look or feel like the rest of your hair.  How long does it take for hair to fully mature and thicken?  When will all the transplanted hair grow? Why is one side of my head growing while I see no signs of new hair growth on the other side?  What kind of cosmetic difference should I expect between 6 and 12 months after surgery? 

A hair transplant patient expresses his very concerns about this on this thread.  Read what other members have to say and contribute your own experiences on our hair loss forum.

The Dukan Diet

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jenny @ 9:39 pm

(Also called Protal for “Proteins alternatives” by the creator of the diet – Dr. Pierre Dukan)

Dr. Dukan’s book (original french title: “Je Ne Sais Pas Maigrir”(”I don’t know how to lose weight”) is for all who’ve tried to lose weight, for all who’ve been losing weight - too frequently and unsuccessfully– and for all who need the guarantee that in return of their hard weight loss efforts they will be able to lose weight successfully and keep it off forever.

The Dukan Diet is a weight loss program and a weight maintenance plan for life developed by the French nutritionist and eating behavior specialist Dr. Pierre Dukan.

With more than 30 years of experience, Dr. Pierre Dukan is a trust worthy health professional, whose books and remarkable work in nutrition and weight loss fields have made him an excellent nutritionist and diet expert.

The Dukan diet itself is not just a simple diet, it is a complete weight loss program or regime (you name it) that has 4 distinctive phases:

Protal I

Attack phase – the “purely natural proteins” phase that is a kick-start to your quick weight loss in less than one week (usually 5 days).

Protal II

Weight Loss phase – the “alternative proteins” phase during which you alternate ‘proteins’ and ‘proteins with vegetables’; and you reach your goal weight. But it’s the nest phase you need to keep that weight down…

Protal III

Stabilization phase – the phase that keeps you from the negative Yo-yo effect of fast weight loss. This phase lasts 10 days per kilograms lost (so if you’ve lost 5 kilograms then this phase would last 50 days for you). During this phase many of the important foods are re-introduced to your menu (bread, cheese, fruits).

Protal IV

Cruise phase – the one that lasts for the rest of your life (sounds scary, isn’t it), but it is so simple, effortless and not to be missed if you want to keep your lost weight forever… All you need to do is pick one day of the week (every week at the exact same day) to do the diet (the Attack phase).
