Has Whey Protein Helped You Lose Weight?
I don't know where this goes, I looked through the forum but I don't know which section is best for it.
Has anyone had further sucess in weight loss through the product Whey Protein?
I am asking this because whey protein is said to help people loose weight and gain muscle.
I donno.
I want your thoughts and input.
(If there are treads already done about this, can you please link me to them, thax.)

There's nothing magical about whey.
It's the same protein you find in your basic foods. Either source is sufficient.
However, protein doesn't build muscle. Energy (calories) does. If you ate entirely protein yet, you were still in an energy deficit, you wouldn't build muscle.
And weight loss isn't about protein either. It's about being in a consistent energy deficit.
While in the deficit, it's important to eat adequate protein as this promotes muscle maintenance. But that's another topic.

some of it is really disgusting tasting - like blended up chalk - i've thrown out more of it than I've actually ingested and i'm kinda over it.... if you want to try it - start with the smallest packs you can possibly find to make sure you can stomach the taste...

Most of my clients started off hating Protein powder. It is not in anyway needed to lose fat/gain muscle. Look at it more as just another protein source, thats it. As far as preparing it I find its best for my clients that aren't "gym rats" to "hide it" amongst other things. Peanut butter is great for that. One of my favorite ways to get it in for people is homemade protein bars. Basically get a food processor, some figs, dates, prunes, and pecans., and throw in a little protein powder and milk and bam instant sweet moist protein bar made out of whole foods, packed with protein and the chewiest and yummiest thing around.

Question about Whey protein
I've been drinking lots of whey protein shakes in addition to my diet and exercise. I understand that protein alone won't build muscles, but is the same protein as you would get from lets say, meat and fish...Which will help you maintain your current muscle. I currently use "Max Muscle Gourmet Protein", which has about 35g proteins, 14g carbs and lots of other stuff...And is about $48 per container with 18 servings. I kinda get tired of spending that kind of money on powders....I saw at Academy that you can get some Whey protein powder that contains round 40g of protein, and only costs $25 or so....Are the qualities of protein different by brands? Or are you basically just paying for taste?? Should I stick to my $48 per container protein, or can I go with the lower priced stuff?

Damn, 48bucks for 18 servings? Thats WAY overpriced, IMO.
I don't buy Whey protein powders. Instead, I use egg protein powders. But, I'm sure other members here can direct you to a better priced Ppowder.
Whey protein technically Is more similar to milks protein. Than it is from say chicken breast. But, overall its pretty much the same stuff.
Protein supplements is just that - a supplement. To help you reach your daily macro goals.

So theres no difference between lets say Walmarts protein powders and Max Muscles powders? If not, Immah save myself 30 bucks per container!

Amazon.com has some at some of the cheapest prices I've seen and some even have free shipping.
Unless you're trying to get a 4 year old to eat vegetables -why is it necessary to hide something? if you're dealing with an adult -you either eat something or you dont... it's really not that difficult to get enough protein in a diet -why force yourself to eat something that you don't like...

There are differences in the way they remove the protien as well. There is whey protein and whey protien isolate which is usually more expensive but less likely to cause diarea for some people. IF you can tollerate it flavour wise and digestive wise I think one is pretty much as good as the other but you will notice a difference.

You dont lose weight from drinking protein supplements, and you do not get bigger muscles from drinking protein supplements, and you do not get fat from drinking protein supplements. You lose weight from eating less calories than what your body needs, you get bigger muscles from eating MORE calories than your body needs along with resistance training, and you get fatter by eating more calories than your body needs. None of the stuff you've heard is correct.
I am pretty sure there are differences, but that is not my field, I will ask the other member of INFORM 4 TEAM about it, he is a bodybuilder and personal trainer of 15years, plus has his own supplement import business in Japan, he will surely know! then I will get back to you on it, he uses a few different brands, but the one I have tried and found the best for me has been CHampion nutrition banana flavour 23gP and has 71servings for around $85 in Japan, not sure on USA prices.

Re:Has Whey Protein Helped you lose weight
Yes whey protein helped you to lose weight.
Let's take a look at four ways that whey protein can help with weight loss.
1. Protein requires more energy to digest than other foods (called the thermic effect of food). This helps use more calories and hence may help with weight loss.
2. Also, high quality proteins such as whey protein help to preserve lean muscle tissue while you lose fat. If your body doesn’t get enough protein and the important essential amino acids on a daily basis it will “steal” them from existing muscle tissue.
3. Protein also helps to slow down the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. This in turn reduces hunger by reducing insulin levels and making it easier for the body to burn fat.
4. Protein has a greater ability to promote satiety than do fat and carbohydrates. Whey protein contains a special component called glycomacropeptide, or GMP. GMP helps promote the release of CCK, which is an appetite-suppressing hormone. This may help you feel full and hopefully stop eating sooner.
You can buy whey protein from any store. I usually buy it from bayho.com.
