Protein shouldnt make you gain weight.\n\nThe only diet that would work though is balenced and healthy, with lots of excercise... hopefully with a partner.

It is high in protein and your body absorbs it best for max growth.  Whey comes from milk (curds/whey).  There are other types of protein like egg and soy which are not as mass building but are good for dieting.

Get some Whey Protein Powder take about 3 scoops a day, or the recommened dosage make sure its low in calories less than 130grams per serving, and make sure it has atleast 17grams of protein per serving, eat lean meats, chicken breast, tuna, salmon, eat vegetables like broccoli also fruits, dried fruits and some almonds, walnuts,peanuts

I take two 50 gram whey drinks per day and for my Casein at night I use GROW.  I've tried several types of casein and GROW tastes and works the best in my opinion.  I have the chocolate flavor and I think it's 20g per serving.  It's not bad with water and it's really good with skim milk.\n\nSometimes if I have a really hard workout in the mornings I'll mix a serving of GROW with my whey so I get that benefit of the whey right away and the casein is slowly being absorbed throughout the day.  \n\nGood Luck!

Depends...\nAccording to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) whey protein isolate is a natural dairy protein powder made up of at least 90% protein.  So if you are body building that is the way to go. However, whey protein is made from casein which is a milk protein so if you are vegan, whey is not an option. \n If your looking to lower your cholesterol and what not, soy is your thing. \n\nBut if your goal is to build muscle, loose fat, basically, if you have goals that are more excercise related, whey is definitely it.

you only eat 1g of protein per pound if your LIFTING WEIGHTS. doing it otherwise will only make you fatter. Lose fat by changing your diet and lifting weights, then worry about protein.

Protein does not turn into fat.  You dont want to take too much protein as too much can cause kidney damage in susceotable people.  You would be much better off taking a look at the GI Diet especially if you are thinking of doing hard exercise.  You need carbs!  Dont try and cut them out!

It depends on why you need the extra weight. If you need to gain weight to turn it into muscle eat lots of proteins like meet. Cheese is a good source of fat. Complex carbohydrates like pasta, breads and rice are the way to go. Stay away from simple sugars like candy and my favorite Apple Jacks type of cereals. But definitely a high protein diet is a good weight gainer. Here is the down side. To much protein can cause your kidneys to back up so drink LOTS of water to help flush them.

Nothing much, you just consuming extra protein. If you eat too much you will get fat or you will start to have health problems if the %% of set amino acids is over healthy set limits.

Many protein supplements will add weight because they also contain lots of sugars and fats.  It also depends on what you mix them with.  Make sure you read the labels and look for one without fat or added sugar.\n\nBut in reality, the best source of protein is natural foods.  Fish, chicken, turkey, legumes, hard cheeses are all good sources

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.

Yes, if you ingest enough of it.  Where do you think the idea for protein shakes came from?

If you are doing strength training, you should try to get 1.5 to 2 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Your body uses protein to build the muscles. \n\nSoy and legumes are good sources of protein. If your diet includes dairy products, these are another good source of protein. You should try to get as much of your protein from your diet, and then use powders to supplement (soy powder or whey protein powder).

hi, don't take any protein formulas that's for sure....\nif you have a balanced diet you need nothing more as it means that you are ingesting all the right amino acids and vitamins. lots of weight exercise will give you what you want. all these people that take protein thinking that it helps them built up their muscles, the only thing that they do is to put a strain on their kidneys. body cannot use more protein just because you are having it. if you think about it, you will see that all these people exercise too much and that is what actually builts muscles and not the protein supplementation. there is a huge number of research on that so play it safe!EXERCISE (weight lifting) and a BALANCED DIET. 2 glasses of milk (300ml x 2) + a portion of fish or meat a day will provide all the protein you need for a day.

Nope.\n\nIt is like any other supplement: use it wisely, use common sense, and it is a great way to lose weight, lower cholesterol, build lean muscle, and improve your complexion.\n\nOverdoing it will stress your liver and kidneys because of all the protein in it. Make sure you drink plenty of water.\n\nRead the nutrition panel on the container: don't go beyond 100% of your RDA.\n\nUse it as a meal supplement, eat whole foods with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and you will enjoy superior health and a sense of well being.\n\nIf you are lactose intolerant, then you need to experiment with it first. Start off with one scoop per day, see how you feel, and take it from there. Remember, it is a dairy product: whey is the by-product of cheese production.
