parents wont let me use prot powder...What's an alternative for post-workout protein?

[dEgeNeRaTe8211]

well from blood_drinker's thread about the importance of post-workout nutrition...i decided to get some protein powder.

so when i asked my mom to get me some whey protein powder, she goes...NO! THAT PROTEIN SUPPLEMENT STUFF IS ONLY FOR BODYBUILDERS AND SERIOUS LIFTERS!!!
i ask my dad and he's all...WHAT?!?! ARE YOU TRYING TO GAIN WEIGHT OR SOMETHING??
and so pretty much i cant get that. i was wondering if there was some other post workout quick absorbing protein that works like powder.

hey for the ppl who hid stuff in their rooms...is that easy to keep secret???

dEgeNeRaTe,

I'm in the exact same position as you are - I don't even bother telling my parents about them. If they don't go through your stuff, just chuck it in your closet. It works for me

I use Nature's Best Isopure, which is very good, and I know they make a ready to drink version as well..

My recommendation is that you buy those and drink in right after you work out, right there in the gym. They look like normal drinks, so nobody should question anything. You could buy it on the way and drink it before getting home. Or, you can just store a couple at home and even if they ask, tell them it's a sports drink like Gatorade and stuff.

Anyways, that's a lot better than having some steriods-looking jar full of powder. Hope that helps..

Here's what you do:

Have your parents buy some milk, all natural peanut butter, and eggs. (I am sure you have them now). After your workout, drink 20oz. of milk, w/ 2-3 egss and 1-2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Add a bannana or two and you've got great post workout nutrition.

I am positive your parents will not mind you eating natural foods like the one's I've listed above. Remember, don't be upset at your parents, rather educate them and show them the truth in nutrition and health.

Ignorance is bliss, yet knowledge is true enlightnment.

I'll agree with Mr. X--powder is convenient, but it's not the be-all and end-all. Besides, it gets too weird to hide food in your closet.

If you want to hide stuff, go ahead. But let me tell you, if youre gonna hide, hide somewhere where its not accessible to you firsthand. Meaning, do NOT hide it in your room. If your parents ever get the idea of searching through your shit, they wont search the living room, thats for sure. Be smart, NEVER hide stuff in your room. Thats stupid as hell. As good as your hiding place might be, theres a 75%chance that theyll find it if they look good enough.

Its not like your hiding drugs i know, but just to be sure..

This is pathetic. Giving tips to people about how to hide protein powder from their parents. So, they let you surf on the net unsupervised, but they won't let you eat protein? Do they supervise your television watching too? Do they ask your principal at school to be on the look out for any protein bars? Could you imagine the trouble you'd be in if you were caught with creatine? I wouldn't want to be in your shoes...

Get the protein powder stand up for your self. Its one thing if it was something more questionable afterall their allowing you to live under their roof eat there food ect.. But to be that controlling and uninformed is just wrong do them a favor by not listening to them get it and try to teach them.

Im with enock. Just tell your old lady ITS ONLY PROTEIN POWDER... It aint like your using roids.

 

[blood_drinker]

Yeah well how about you show him this thread? Print out and give it to him, just to back you up. He probably thinks it will mess with your growth and all the crap he´s been fed. Protein can only be good for you, and if he still refuses, go ahead and hide some . If he catches you, tell him again how its healthy, and bitch at him and tell him he should be glad you aint hiding some Valiums.
