Do you have a favorite protein shake? I’m planning a near future video where i compare the top shakes and food labels of each. Share your faves in the comments and why!

I have been working out regularly for quite sometime and I have been struggling these days whether I should try protein powder to build a even nicer body shape. lol After watching this video, I finally confirmed my answer, which is NO!!!! Nothing can replace real food, it is just the fact!!

[nimraaslam]

I have been working out intensely for the past few weeks and though I have always opted for naturals over any supplement, I was still considering protein shakes .. but after seeing this, its definitely a NO !
So going to stick to my "all natural" plan!

[loidforger]

Very informative. Thanks for breaking down the pros and cons

[rfrancoi]

Thank you, Doctor.... You just scared the CRAP out of me.

More recent studies have discovered it's actually MUCH closer to about .8 grams of protein per POUND.

Unfortunately this videos information is outdated. If you came across thia video and this comment, I highly encourage you to do better reseadch.

6:34 so you're saying that when a person consumes 20g of protein at a meal, it's useless because the body processes only 5-9 g of protein? Or what are you actually saying?
I disagree. I definitely see and feel a difference from when I eat 10g of protein at a meal vs when I eat 20-25..

Love your advice...however, some people might use these protein products *because* they do not consume enough protein daily and/or may have a lot of trouble gaining weight . Do you find them to be effective for people like this?

[myriam]

Well I don’t like eating in the morning so to help me feel more full I’ll have a protein shake with coffee in it.. it helps me and I believe it’s better than not having anything at all till lunch

[curtisdawson]

Great breakdown of protein! Good stuff!

[gracewheeler]

That's so scary! Arsenic in protein shakes wow, my boyfriend gets arsenic treatment and it hurts him so much. Obviously in a much higher amount, but who knows what consumption of small amounts over time will do?

Are you recommending that.?
