Best casin powder for pm



Recommended Posts

I want to switch up my pm powder to one that slows down the catabolic state that the body enters at night.

Stop eating what little muscle I have Mr. body. Now!

I read that a long lasting Protein Powder like casin will help. Currently I am using an extended whey based powder that is designed to last 4-5 hours. Looking for a good powder that will keep my body fueled with Protein throughout the entire night.

Which one do you use for pm? Amazon has several with good reviews so thought I would ask my WLS friends.

Cheap, simple, effective...Optimum Nutrition's Casein blend. There are some formulated Proteins for night time, but a good casein blend is all that's really needed. I've never used Nimbus Nite Time Protein, but it's supposed to be pretty decent with aminos and such. No fat, no sugar, <1g carb. Both are around the same price. I don't have any experience with any other night time formulas.

Thanks Mark! That is the information I need.

Drinking a Protein shake before bed has helped me drop weight fairly quickly up to month 5. I would always notice the scale move when I did it versus not doing it. However, I was drinking an extended whey and not a casein.

I wish I knew the differences between whey and casein back then, especially when I really started running.. I might have kept a lot more muscle. Bringing it back now though with consistent and hard lifting 2x a week. Looking forward to seeing good results with the casein at night. My weight is starting to drop again, but lean muscle is increasing. Learning every day...

Thanks again.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
