Whey Protein Powder

[killerbombshell]

I just bought a big ol' jar of chocolate whey protein powder (low carb, of course) and I think I could probably handle having this every morning as a shake along with/instead of my breakfast.

I know that I'm not the best about staying away from Frankenfoods which is why me asking this seems sort of weird, but would anyone foresee a problem drinking it every morning? I need more protein and it's really quick and easy.

Re: Whey Protein Powder

protein can act as a sugar if you are getting a big amount of it at one time as our body has cells in the small intestine and in the muscles and liver that can convert proteins to sugars for fuel and storage as fats.

so make sure you are having your whey protein as part of your Atkins meal, some protein some fat some carbs or you could be getting unexpected cravings and slowed fat burning.

That is such great advice. Thanks 2big, I will be careful with it!

Re: Whey Protein Powder

just serve it to yourself in the right for your phase ratio of fats to proteins and you will be fine. you can mix some cream in it or a 1T olive oil, about 1 scoop PP, 2T flax and 1/4-12 C water nuke. for 90 seconds and you get "cake", 45 secs and you get cereal in good atkins proportions with 25 grams of protein and about 5 net carbs close to induction ratios 64% fats and 29% proteins

Yeah, I've been using it with my flax cereal. I'm so hung up on the idea that I need to get more protein with fewer calories, but I always forget about the excess protein turning to sugar. I think for the shake I'll add a Tablespoon of heavy cream both to improve the flavour and to even out the ratios.
