Hi all.

I really want to start using a protein shake to see if it will aid my weightloss and help with my muscles. Can anyone recommend one that That have used and is helpful to women.

Many thanks in advanced for your help! :happy:

    Last I heard women are of the same species as men so you should be fine with any protein.

    When you buy regular food like eggs, chicken, milk, do you look for the women's version? :)

    You're a dirty, dirty boy.

    We might have thought it, but some of us are polite enough not to say it out loud. ;);)

    I think she is referring to not wanting to bulk up like some protein shakes offer. Like "weight Gain". Look for something like muscle milk naturals for a good portion size (around 20g protein) Stay away from massive amounts of protein.

    Yes, I have no filter. Much worse in person.

    In all seriousness try some spirulina.

    Total nonsense here. Eating a lot of protein will not bulk you up.

    To answer your question seriously though, OP, whey protein is the most "friendly" for those unused to taking protein supplements. It mixes REALLY well in milk (go figure).

    I would go find some whey protein isolate in a flavor you like and mix it up with 12 oz. of milk (in fact, you can find "Pure Protein" brand at Target stores and it's relatively okay. Not the best, but for the price, it's great.) If you get chocolate flavor, it'll be like drinking chocolate milk -- decadent, but not really. :)

    I also have soy protein isolate and rice protein at home, both in vanilla flavor. I use the soy in baking and other recipes (pancakes, crepes, etc.) The rice protein is kind of just rotting on the shelf ... really disgusting in texture. :(

    Excessive calories make you gain weight - whether it comes from protein, carbs or fat.

    If you are going to do a protein shake, get one that fits in your calorie budget with the most amount of protein. It just doesn't make sense to buy a protein supplement that is filled with carbs.

    I use Trader Joe's soy vanilla because it's cheap and I still have a lot. Protein is protein and is not gender specific.

    And increased estrogen levels may increase risk for breast cancer. So if sex was an issue in the protein shake world, this would be the reason.

    Any other source would be just fine.
