  1. Could someone with enough knowledge about the subject please check the validity of these claims? http://www.proteinbreakthrough.com/ Here are a few quotes from the article:
  2. No problem, my fellow vegan! There is no such thing as vegan casein, as casein comes from dairy products, but you have(in my eyes) superior alternatives. I personally use hemp protein powder. Could I ask why you want to use casein? Is it because the body needs 7 hours to break it down, and you take it before sleep?
  3. Good day! It's good to hear that you have begun exercising, and is so focused on the diet already. One of the many errors "newbies" do is to not consider diet at all, even though it's at least as important as the training itself. I can see you already know the essensial keys to diet; eating balanced, post-workout, bcaas, but I would like to come in with a few ideas you can implement in your regime. A good breakfast is ideal, and it can have a tremendous impact on your day. Everyone is different, but I have found that a nutritional packed smoothie works great for me; with acai powder, goji powder, pomegranat powder, lechitin granules, hemp powder. And so on.. The optimal post-workout, as far as I know, is bcaa's directly after training, high-GI carbs 20 minutes later and protein 10 minutes after the carbs. Regarding the BCAA's some say that high dosing, 20 grams a day, is the way to get the full effects. Casein after bed is still under discussion; some say that the body needs to recover and not digest while you sleep and vice versa. Casein is also linked to cancer. Again, you have to see what fits your body, experiment. Also supplementing with creatine is not a bad thing, especially for vegans. Hope this was what you were looking for. Have a nice day =)
