I think my protien shakes make me moody

rattwo Posts: 4 Joined: 2004/02/07	2004/03/28, 03:57 PM I have taken the last week and a have of from training do to an injury. During that time period i did not take my protein shakes(Myoplex Deluxe). Yesterday I had a shake 2 hours before I went to the gym. I did 35 minutes of wt and 25 min of cardio. That night when I got home I found my self to be very very moody. I had a weird taste in my mouth and was just craving another shake. I had 4 eggs and 4 slices of toast two hours after my work out yet i still craved another shake. I have been having problems being moody for the past several months about the same time I started training harder and taking the shakes. During the week and half I took off from training the moodyness has gone away. I have consulted my doctor about this and after some blood work found my testosterone to be very low (weight trainers nightmare). I am on hormone replacements now but am still having problems when I take my shakes. Does any body have any input? I could really use some help! -------------- \\"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcomings, who knows the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the high achievement of triumph and who at worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows his place shall never be with those timid and cold souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Also,look at the ingredient label (not the nutrient label)on the shakes, my thought here is to see the sugars listed and the content. Just a thought. -------------- "A will finds a way, failure is not an option" Ivan carivan@freetrainers.com Montreal Canada

Now there is your obvious answer, like carivan said. By the way how old are you? Fill out your profile so we can help you better.:dumbbell:

Myoplex lite doesn't affect me that way. Dairy products and wheat make me tired and cracky 9the wheat moreso than the dairy) I think food intolerances can really affect your mood. eat a balanced diet of six small meals a day, with complex carbs and protein at each meal and your blood sugar will be more stable so you are less prone to moodiness. granola bars tend to be kind of sugary, which will pick you up and drop you fairly rapidly, either combine them with a protein source at the same time or have a small meal. Oatmeal with protein powder mixed in is fast and easy! -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.
