slimagainsoon 88 Posted November 30, 2012 Isolate is best!!! I found minds at Walmart and most drug stores sell it too. Also do your surgeon have a store that sell supplies we need. Minds does in NC. You can also order online. 1 GENNYOSKINNY reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SerendipityHappens 1,594 Posted November 30, 2012 Yes it does matter. Walmart and GNC have many options. I got mine online from vitacost. I went with Jay Robb because I don't feel comfortable with artificial sweeteners and Jay Robb uses stevia. 1 GENNYOSKINNY reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted November 30, 2012 Where are you seeing the word Whey? Are you looking at the ingredients or the front label? Whey should be the first ingredient listed. Isolate is the best, but concentrate is perfectly fine as well. Make sure the ingredients DO NOT include the woes Gelatin or collagen. These are Protein sources many manufacturers use to make their labels look impressive but are of ZERO benefit as these Proteins pass through the digestive system completely intact. What is the product you are looking at? 1 GENNYOSKINNY reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The body fortress is also a good option although IMO it tastes horrible. As for the 3rd option from Wal-Mart since I'm not sure which product it is I can't say much. Whatever you do stay away from the Protein Shots.< /p> 2 LizInTexas and GENNYOSKINNY reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KRB829 47 Posted December 4, 2012 Hello All: I am in need of some help myself. I can't find a very good tasting Protein power, does anyone have any good suggestions. And from what my surgeon states it is very important to use the whey Isolated, because it helps with the weight loss and builds muscle mass. I was using Unjury the chicken flavor, it's great and it taste like chicken noodle Soup, but it has a lot of sodium it in, but if you do not have high blood pressure it's a great way to get your protein in, and the weight melts off. I just can't use any of the products since my surgery, something is going on with my taste buds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the Whey category I recommend 1-Unjury (chocolate splendor or chicken soup) 2-Nectar by Syntrax (fuzzy navel, cherry, or truffle) 3- Chike (this is IMO the best tasting protein supplement Then there are other good protein sources like: Hemp protein (I buy Nutiva 15g) Egg protein (Jay Robb) I get approximately 1/3-1/2 of my protein from whey about the same from whole food items & the balance from egg or hemp powders.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
