       New to fitness

       I am new to working out and specifically paying more attention
       to what I eat.  Since January I've lost around 30 pounds.  At
       the moment I've kind of plateaued.  My wife and I had a lot on
       our plates last week and did not get much exercise in.  We've
       been doing well and going at least 4 to 5 times to walk on the
       treadmill.   I'm interested in different workouts that other
       people do to help give me ideas as well.
       From a nutrition standpoint, I've been eating more protein as
       well as protein drinks in the morning.  Not to sound gross, but
       I've got digestion issues that hit me almost 3 years ago out of
       the blue (probably stress related).  According to the doctors,
       all is well, but it's not.
       Having said all that, with cutting out carbs almost entirely,
       and basing more on protein, do any of you have issues with
       increased amounts of protein?  Wondering if I should lay off the
       shakes and protein added foods and stick to protein from meat,
       fish, chicken, etc.
       I know I should see a nutritionist, but I don't have time (make
       time) to go see one.  So I guess I'm sort of self-medicating, so
       to speak.
       I appreciate any ideas and your time.

       I think protein shakes are good and there is some science behind
       taking in 30 grams of protein within 30 mins of waking that is
       supposed to increase your metabolism for the day. I sometimes do
       that if I don’t have time to eat. I wouldn’t drink them and eat
       something. Let that be my meal. Food protein is obviously better
       than shakes but I find it hard sometimes to get that meal in.
       When I train heavy I do uses the shakes to help fuel the
       muscles. As far as the digestion problem. Have you tried
       drinking apple cider vinegar?

       Hey Brothers,
       I can attest to the effects of stress on the body.  I concur
       with Black Scout on the benefits of a good protein powder as
       well as apple cider vinegar. Perhaps a natural supplement would
       assist as well? I've had great success with Ashwagandha for
       Testosterone stabilization / boosting as well stress reduction
       and sleeping aid. Safe and all natural. Not expensive either.

       Another great supplement is l-arginine, l-orinithine. Aids in
       muscle recovery, growth hormone stabilization. Safe and
       effective. I'm partial to Swanson Vitamins for supps. purchase
       due to their quality and prices. Hope this helps!
