    Protein Powder and Waist Size

    I was just wondering what some people that have had experienced supplementing with protein powder for and extended period of time, and have supplemented an extended period of time without protein powder... feel was more beneficial?


    Have heard bad things about water retention, estrogen, lactose tolerance and some more i can't think of about how protein powder can negatively directly and indirectly increase waist size and thickness of the skin? What do the testimonials and others think about this and what is your experience with and without it for extended periods of time?

    Those claims are pretty out there, it's milk byproduct so the only problems anyone can have are reactions to dairy and lactose intolerance. The other stuff is crazy talk as far as i know lol.

    X2 people give supplements way to much thought. Take the crap, if it benefits you keep taking it, if not then don't.

    Do some serious research on protein powders though. It's the anavar of the supplement industry. It's very easy to fake protein quantity and supplement companies do it all the time. Minus the super expensive isolates, gold standard was the best I saw. They claim 24g per serving and there is actually 21g per serving of protein.

    I've been taking the super expensive isolates while i'm cutting on little to no carbs...Lobliners shit is full of carbs even though it's tested well and i was just using gold standard until i got on this diet...I'm actually wondering if i should listen to some old GH15 advice and just drink egg-whites..It will probably be more expensive but at least i know what i'm getting

    Just my opinion but your probably better of. First milking collostrum from cows is also very high quality.

    i would say carnivore is the best alternative in terms of protein quality.
