Basically, no.
Great insights on protein, but I find Lyfefuel’s plant-based options easier on my digestion.
Protein's thermic effect is impressive, just like how LyfeFuel keeps me energized through the day without the extra calories!
Whaat I got 2 kilos after I started protein powder???

It was very instructive
Im 57 done the gym on and off 40yrs I'm muscular and lean even now without over doing it in gym tryed many different whey protein powders on and off and my experience is they are all same more or less but with a high protein diet anyway virtually no carbs I only have less than half of what's recommended of daily powder
I have seen great results from consuming lean calorie high protein shakes. Curbs hunger bigtime. Makes you feel full. Activates muscle synthesis with minimal exercise. What is not to like? So many haters.
perfect this is the information i was looking for, thanks
i went through 138 kg obese to 92 kg in almost in a year and a half through proper diet and lots of walking and pushups and sit ups and im in my best shape in my life but i have so much trouble to build more profound muscles including my abs and i bought for the first time the bundle gainer and i have a zero idea how to use it as a beginner how should i make the protein drink ?
I believe this fully . I was at 330 and I've started half scoops protein shakes to replace a meal durring my day. Down to 280 now. Still dropping. Currently just doing walking and yoga to start strengthening my joints again and work up a really good sweat.
P.S – I learned the hard way. Drink more water if you use protein powder. It can dehydrate you or worse give kidney stones if you don't have enough moisture to not just rehydrate it but also oass it through your system. 😅 i learned this after my first 3 days of it. I was a lil dizzy found out oop you need a bit more water kid.
Overall it's been incredibly good for me. Even with my hypothyroidism. It's a lil better fuel then your typical oatmeal or bigger meals. Great for developing an appetite if you don't have one too because many flavors. I use chocolate.
This was a great and informative video. ♡
Keep on going folks you can be healthy and happy one step at a time ♡♡♡😊
I bought the Diet Bundle through MyProtein app and just arrived today so can't wait to get started.
If the Isolate protein packs are lower in calories and better for dieting, how come they don't come as a bundle with CLA's instead of the standard whey protein that I got?
No complaints just wondering as I thought it would make more sense to have those as the diet bundle? 😊
Yeh I'm supposed to be on a diet but had a whole bag of chips last night rip
Thanks 😊
Clear whey or whey protein better to keep fuller ?
