Question 5

what is the best unflavored protein powder  after having gastric sleeve? one example gnc whey protein.

Accepted Answer

One of the best...: Hard to say one is the very best, but i advise whey from grass fed-cows not given hormones or antibiotics processed at low temperature so the immunoglobulins ; other  proteins are not denatured. My favorite is whey cool by designs for health: http://www.Rockwellnutrition.Com/p-designs-for-health-whey-cool-vanilla-organic-whey-protein 
also consider hemp protein powder, .

Question 6

do i eat a protein according to my weight in pounds? for example i am 168 pounds 5 foot 8 and a half so would i have to eat 168 grams of protein?

Accepted Answer

: The average adult needs to eat 0.75- 0.80 grams of protein per kilogram of weight. For you who are 168lbs (76kg), you would need about 65g of protein daily.

Question 7

when something has "sugar alcohol"
content on the back is it bad for you? for example i want to buy a pack of protein bars but has 8g of sugar alcohol

Accepted Answer

Sugar alcohols: The funny thing about sugar alcohols is that they reconstitute into actual sugar once digested.  So a product can be marketed as "sugar-free" if it contains sugar alcohols, but after absorption there's sugar again.  It's a marketing ploy.  So yes, sugar alcohols can have bad effects on your body just like sugar.

Question 8

how many different ways can a pathogen be detected? is 1 way better then another for all pathogens? example: antibody-antigen-dna/rna-proteins..?

Accepted Answer

Many: A pathogen is any micro-organisms that causes disease. We find different pathogens by different techniques -- prions (which count as pathogens) only by chemistry, many by polymerase chain reaction, seeking antibodies, growing them (most bacteria, some viruses), or seeing them under the microscope. There's no one-size-fits-all.

Question 9

if my diet lacked iron, protein, nutrients from poor eating for more than 3 years consistently, can that contribute to hair loss? example- literally never eating iron (i'm vegetarian) and maybe 20 grams of protein on an average day if that?

Accepted Answer

: Yes.  A restricted diet can lead to hair loss.  Hair loss is also a problem with normal aging in some people.

Question 10

how can i gain weight all around fast ? i already eat a lot. for example, would eating protien bars work ?

Accepted Answer

Weight Gain: Begin weight resistance training three times a week, fatigue each muscle group you target and have two protein type shakes a day, no more than 15 grams of protein in each drink. Try the nutrabullett and the various recipes they offer. Best wishes.
