Whey protein is quite a bit better than soy protein for balance- The only reason a doctor would recommend any protein would be for a specific protein-deficit problem.  However, it is a good source of protein (of course, so is tuna), and numerous studies have shown it aids hair diameter and strengthening fingernails-not to mention weightlifting and recovery from surgery.

Whey is a protein found in cows milk, and the basis for some cheeses.\n\nIt is advertised to be very good for healthy nutrition...............of course we could just drink the milk.......duh\n\nit is also said to be good for your immune system.......so we won't get any diseases that the cow has had.\n\n\njust drink milk, and eat cheese

how can you not get access to a gym?  even my little town up in northern MI has a gym.  What about your HS?  But 2grams of protein for every lb you weigh is the figure used for weight lifters trying to gain weight.  so that's be 250grams of protein.  I suggest getting these from a whey protein isolate or since your pretty skinny you say muscle milk has a little fat content and carbs but its supposed to be the best tasting protein on the market.  \nChicken breast/tenderloin, Tuna, salmon, yogurt, cottage cheese, milk, and green vegetables are great for protein and fiber.  DO NOT get those weight gainers that are just all calories like 1000 calories all that's going to do is make you fat and that's not good.  Just do some at home strength training or buy some adjustable dumbbells you can get a pretty though workout with dumbbells.

This works great for me..\nTry do any kind of vigorous exercise 3x a day for 15 minutes. I power walked, went up and down my basement stairs, raked leaves, jump rope, anything to get my heart beating.\nIt takes commitment but it works. It has something to do with keeping your metabolism working. \nAlso I kept away from white sugar products. For me white sugar gave my body an energy burst that doesn’t last and drained me after my sugar high was over. It was very hard for me to get over the sugar withdraw the first 3 days . It took about a week to get my body trained. \nI went from size 14 to size 10 in about 5 months. STAY AWAY from McDonalds, Chips and Crackers.. " these gave me sugar cravings HUGE" I have fallen off the diet wagon and feel low energy but now you have motivated me to get in the swing again. Thanks

Never a stupid question...smoothies made correctly (fruits, yogurt, low fat milk) etc, are absolutely fine.  Whey powder Isolates added would provide protein that you would need as well. \n\nI wouldn't recommend however, that you remain on a liquid diet for very long (unless this is a medical requirement and you are under a physicians care).\n\nHope this assists somewhat, Good luck\n\nMay I add, that checking with your physician rather than here, might be the better way to go to ensure you aren't doing more harm than good.  Also, I don't know if you are lactose intolerant...so check with your Med pro first.

The answer is anyone at any time as food supplement.\n\nAs the term supplement suggests, if you are eating healthy diet you do not need any supplement, supplement is not wholefood. However, it is very GOOD when you have regular work-out, resistant training or aerobics.\n\nAbout the time you take it - I would say between meals, also some hours before your work-out session, and I don't think it is important to take it AT ONCE after the work-out, but just take it some time after your work-out. The reason is simple, it take 3-4 hours to digest even the isolate is easier to be "absorbed", when replacing the protein loss, your body is using the resources already there which is what you ate few hours ago and before.\n\nBUT the most appropriate use is for bodybuilders, who are very aware of UNWANTED extra carb or fat, doing hard-core weight training to take it regularly. Hard-gainer and beginners just take whey protein.\n\nThere are links you can go to and read more about whey protiein isolate like VPX, Isopure, etc. If it's 100% it's zero carb and no fat and costs you more.\n\nhttp://www.bodybuilding.com/store/vpx/cross.html\nhttp://www.nicemuscle.com/isopure-zero-carb-81730.htm\n\nYou can find nearly all the popular whey protein from there with review\n\nhttp://www.nicemuscle.com/category1072.htm\n\nBe careful, 100% whey protein may not be isolate and so it's not really all protein without carb and fat.\n\nExtract from VPX\n\n>100% Whey Protein Isolate \n>Microfraction Selection Technology \n>Great Tasting Flavor \n>Zero Carbohydrates \n>Zero Sugar \n>Zero Fat \n>Zero Aspartame or Acesulfame K \n>Zero Corn Syrup Solids or Hydrogenated Oils \n>Zero Fat-Promoting High Glycemic Index Maltodextrins \n>Zero Caseinate, Ion Exchange or Other Old-School Proteins \n>Zero Estrogen Promoting Inferior Soy Proteins \n>Zero Lactose - Generally Safe for Most People with Milk Allergies \n\nWhy supplement your nutrition program with protein?\n\nProtein exerts the release of many powerful muscle building (growth hormone and IGF-I) and fat burning (glucagon, GH, etc) hormones. It is also necessary to build and repair muscle tissue. Frequent consumption of high quality lean proteins help maintain a lean muscular physique

my mother tried nutrisystem and it works wonders! my mother has tried like, basically every single diet that is out there and found that nutrisystem worked for her. \ni've seen the food and it looks, alright. \n the foods are portion sized, which is nice since you don't have to worry about HOW much your eating, because it's already measured for you. you don't have to refrigerate ANY of the food or freeze it. you can easily store it in your pantry or in some shelves. my mother ordered nutrisystem towards the beginning of the year and all of the food stayed in the box. and she's doing the program now and the food is STILL good. \nbut you do have to add some of your own food like fruits and vegetables and dairy. \nmy mother is doing nutrisystem right now actually and she LOVES it. \nthis is about her 3rd or 4th time ordering nutri-system, but she does this because she usually ends up gaining all of her weight back. my mother isn't really consistant with mainting her weight once she's lost it. \nbut every person is different and i have NO doubt that you will lose those other 40 pounds with nutrisystem. you WILL lose the weight. \ncongrats on losing those 10 pounds! keep up the good work!!!! \ntake care.

Not positive on this but I think there are some non processed whey powders. I take Jay Robb's which tastes pretty good and provides 24g per serving, it has no HGH.

Protein builds muscle, muscle burns fat. The best protein drink (blech) - The least nasty tasting one is the Curves chocolate drink. It's not as chalky/gritty as some other powder. I try to get my protein through diet, though.

There is no proven studies with this regard.. it is harmful though if you drink them all the time (2-4 meals a day!) because it's your kidneys that do most of the filtering of the protein shake products. You are better off eating high protein food than getting shakes... but I do believe having one shake after your workout is beneficial.\nMike

Whey protein is hands down the best. You do have to eat other stuff though. Eggs and tuna are good. Any kind of meat will work though. You need to add about 500 calories to your maintanance level too. Get your protein up to 1.5 grams per pound of bodyweight. If your workout is in order you can gain as much as a pound a week naturally. More if you're unnatural so to speak.

It's quickly absorbed by your muscles. It tastes good and is convenient.  Most bodybuilders feel they can't get enough protein unless they supplement.  I use it and feel it helps, but it doesn't make a tremendous difference. How much progress you make in lifting depends on your genetics and self discipline.

I'm a vegetarian, so I'm always searching for more protein. The best-tasting and least noticable protein powder would be Whey protein powder. It works like a charm, gives you lots of protein, and you won't even notice it.
