So how to go about this fat burning method? Below is a concise guide on the facts and myth regarding the matter.

When to take protein shake

The body can only metabolize 5-9 grams of protein per hour; excessive daily intake can cause weight gain, kidney problems, osteoporosis, or diarrhea.

Research by Tarnopolsky et al. (1988) showed that for bodybuilding individuals, 1.97g of protein per kg of body weight per day is recommended, whereas endurance athletes require 1.37g/kg/d of protein. Their findings indicated that protein requirements are actually much lower than might be expected and that protein supplements therefore may not be as effective as is popularly believed.

Stair climbing is the climbing of a flight of stairs. It is often described as a “low-impact” exercise.

In one study based on mean oxygen uptake and heart rate, researchers estimated that ascending a 15 cm (5.9 inches) step expends 0.46 kJ (0.11 kcal) for the average person, and descending a step expends 0.21 kJ (0.05 kcal).

The study concluded that stair-climbing met the minimum requirements for cardiorespiratory benefits, and considered stair-climbing suitable for promotion of physical activity.
