I believe this fully . I was at 330 and I've started half scoops protein shakes to replace a meal durring my day. Down to 280 now. Still dropping. Currently just doing walking and yoga to start strengthening my joints again and work up a really good sweat.

P.S - I learned the hard way. Drink more water if you use protein powder. It can dehydrate you or worse give kidney stones if you don't have enough moisture to not just rehydrate it but also oass it through your system. 😅 i learned this after my first 3 days of it. I was a lil dizzy found out oop you need a bit more water kid.

Overall it's been incredibly good for me. Even with my hypothyroidism. It's a lil better fuel then your typical oatmeal or bigger meals. Great for developing an appetite if you don't have one too because many flavors. I use chocolate.

This was a great and informative video. ♡

Keep on going folks you can be healthy and happy one step at a time ♡♡♡😊

I’ve found that after determining how much protein you need per day, you should subtract the protein calories in food by multiplying the number of grams of protein in the food by 4 (1g protein = 4 calories), then subtract this from the food’s total calories.
This provides a more realistic view of amount of calories you’ll burn or store in your food.

I have had a BMI of 18 my whole adult life, but never looked good like the models that have the same BMI as me, but when i made sure to get 100g of protein a day, after 8 years of trying, i now look INCREDIBLE

[purplerider]

Dude I am so mad at myself. In 2017 I started training. I had my diet in check and I was in a solid routine. I lost pounds and gained muscle. From intermittent fasting. And eating healthy. I didn’t even lift weights to often. And I looked great. After COVID I gained 60 pds from no gym. Now I’m struggling to lose the weight again. I was wondering about this. Thank you for the info

[roxanarose]

Whoever disliked this video is such a Great info simply put

Can I have a impact whey isolate protein shake after my workout and then have another type of protein drink later on through the day or another shake ??

[simonlynch]

I bought the Diet Bundle through MyProtein app and just arrived today so can't wait to get started.

If the Isolate protein packs are lower in calories and better for dieting, how come they don't come as a bundle with CLA's instead of the standard whey protein that I got?

No complaints just wondering as I thought it would make more sense to have those as the diet bundle? 😊

[liorminiovich]

i went through 138 kg obese to 92 kg in almost in a year and a half through proper diet and lots of walking and pushups and sit ups and im in my best shape in my life but i have so much trouble to build more profound muscles including my abs and i bought for the first time the bundle gainer and i have a zero idea how to use it as a beginner how should i make the protein drink ?

[rachelrachel]

I am a lifelong vegetarian with allergies to most plant based proteins. I get about 10g of protein per day. This used to be fine in my 20s, but now in my 40s I’m packing on pounds no matter what I do. I’ve met with multiple doctors and dietitians and still have no idea how to lose weight and how much whey protein to consume and when.

[clanger]

A guy at my local Jim and I are doing a one week experiment we’re all we eat is chicken breast with rib meat, eggs for breakfast and the rest is away isolate protein powder by optimum nutrition I weigh 190 pounds, can’t wait to see what happens

[stephenbarry]

Is it better to mix with milk or water? Does it make much of a difference?

[julycasulaik]

The hardest part about building muscle is having a great diet. That was my main problem until I found the Agoge diet plan. Now I'm gaining more muscle than ever.

[heidiellson]

Can you please say which whey powder is best for weight loss as I’m getting really confused. I’m currently using Impact Whey powder, have tried the diet impact whey and it didn’t agree with me, so which one are you supposed to use to lose weight? Argh!!!!

[axatsharma]

The most sensible video I have seen in a long time

[ramizalturk]

Hi coach, thanks for the effort doing that video! I started going regularly for swimming sessions to lose weight, can I consume protein shakes while practicing swimming? And does it matter if it's pre or post? Thanks 🙏🏻

[garyhind]

Im 57 done the gym on and off 40yrs I'm muscular and lean even now without over doing it in gym tryed many different whey protein powders on and off and my experience is they are all same more or less but with a high protein diet anyway virtually no carbs I only have less than half of what's recommended of daily powder

[EverythingShakes]

I've been using Myprotein for years....I can't believe I didn't realize y'all had a YouTube channel.

[MultiLinda]

i just watched a dr.'s video, he states that if using whey protein to lose weight you need to add healthy fats to it cause whey protein alone spikes insulin so not sure what is the right information. thankss

[Ziifit]

Why the scope in the my protein products are not the right measurements of how much you need for each shake?
