Whey protein is making you fat

irisannRN

I hope this post becomes huge and the message widespread. That way the price of whey protein will go down for me.

Amen!

Cool story bro, tell it again.

Surely milk is fattening due to its fat content?

Skimmed milk isn't fattening.

Could be a deadly combo of the fat and insulin spikes

I am reading this at work, and you almost made me blurt this out in Ron Burgandy's voice. Slow clap!

So you got this information from a .com website? You must feel so proud of yourself.

Don't know enough to comment on the actual science, but I do know enough to laugh at the above comment...this is from a peer reviewed scientific journal (which happens to have a .com website address).

It's a topic worth following.

what happens if you mix your whey protein with milk? Diabetic coma!

Obesity, diabeetus, osteoporosis, chronic flatulence, renal failure, influenza, the list goes on. It's simply not worth it. Not worth it at all.

And here I thought it was from swallowing all the BS.

Dude I can't stand listening to your jargon anymore. The fact that you talk a lot of **** that you can not back makes me believe that you do a lot of reading and not a lot of lifting. How Can you give advice to people without truly understanding what you are saying? The answer is you can't ..... You can not tell someone something without knowing if it works or not. You have no experience lifting. You hardly know anything. Everything you do know you read in a book or stole from someone else. You have no factual eveidence that it works. You just take advice from credible sources and post them as your own....As an aspiring personal trainer, who has actually spent time working in a gym, watching and criticizing and experimenting. Stop posting. You don't know what youre talking about. You know it too.

You guys are hilarious. I almost forgot what the topic was about.

I sure had a great whey proteins shake this morning with some fruit and it was delish....

If you've been paying attention to such luminaries as Taubes, Sission et al, you'd know that insulin is what has caused the obesity epidemic.

Or is the obesity epidemic what caused overall elevated insulin levels in the population? That's generally what I've gathered from most studies. :laugh:

I believe that it could be as nutrition less as white bread after all it is incredibly processed...but I have a hard time meeting my protein macros which is why I use whey. Maybe protein powder from a different source would be better?!

moustache_flavored_lube

I am all about the science!!! I think scientific studies are the absolute best way to wade through the BS that surrounds fitness and nutrition. However, I also weigh studies with common sense, and personal experience.

The amount of ripped lean people I know that regularly consume whey protein, and my own experience of using it to supplement my diet tell me that it CAN'T be that big of a deal. Perhaps it is not the ideal protein, but it is certainly not responsible for 'making people fat'

Processed foods are death in a package, avoid them

Surely milk is fattening due to its fat content?

Skimmed milk isn't fattening.

FAT isn't what makes people FAT.

How many times are we going to have to say this.... ::Face palm::

I hope you were being sarcastic.

Yes, THANK YOU! Fat does not make you fat. Excess calories make you fat.

What a second, I see a protein shakes AND milk in your diary. Hmmmm.....

^Affirmative.

Then why the hell do they call it "fat"? Do some research before you post these inanities.

ETA: WTF is the deal with this post? I hope the whole thing is a joke cause if not this is just.... incorrect. That's the nicest word I can think of right now.

I think they were referring to the fact that full fat dairy is significantly higher in calories than skim because fat is more calorically dense. The fact that skim milk has no taste is another matter, though. :smokin:

Hmm... so that's why she said "due to it's FAT content?"
