The product of a cheerful Cow.

This week we received some IsaPro.  It is Grade 7 Whey Protein from New Zealand Cows.  From what I have read, New Zealand Cows are among the happiest in the world.  If you look closely at the IsoPro canister in the attached picture, it contains the stamp "Cheerful Cow Certified".   The New Zealand Cows get to graze in fields with grass in them!  I guess that does not happen very much in many of the feed lots in North America.   Since the Cows get to live out their lives happy, they produce much better quality Whey protein.

The Whey Protein is also Un-denatured, which means the whey is not extracted through heating or chemicals. It is a cold filtration process.  That keeps the whey in a natural state so it is not broken down into its component parts.

So I plan to add a scoop of this whey protein to my regular Shakes.  That will boost the protein from a regular Isalean shake from 24 grams to 42 grams.   It also adds 100 calories.   The IsaPro is not a meal replacement (like the IsaLean shakes), it is whey protein.   I will need the extra protein since my new goal is to gain muscle and improve my strength.

I also recently started taking three shakes a day.  One for Breakfast (as usual), then one after I go to the gym, and one at lunch or dinner.  The caloric intake of the regular 30-day system (which is what I started with 7 weeks ago), is about 1000 - 1300 calories which just isn't enough for my new goal, which is to gain muscle.

I have been amazed at the changes in the past 7 weeks (mostly around my waist line).  Here is my 7 week before/after picture.  I finally got up the courage to post it.
