Hey all,
I use myprotein whey powder and it is nice, only thing is I swear it makes me really thirsty! Does anyone else find their protein shake makes them thirsty or am I just a bit strange?
Thanks.

    Anyone? Maybe it's just me?

    I usually drink one after a workout so I am usually already thirsty. If it makes you thirsty, drink more water. Maybe it's your body saying "Hydrate."

    They dehydrate me and that's why I drink them. I get bad edema and they make it vanish, but problem is it also constipates me so I don't drink them anymore. I just say drink more if you are going to have them.

    Thanks for the replies! I do drink quite a lot but I've noticed I feel SO thirsty if I have a shake.

    Thanks, glad it isn't just me!! I've not had a problem with constipation. Maybe it is also to do with brand?

    They make me thirsty if I drink them alone. Instead, I drink a tall glass of water with my protein shakes. I alternate drinking between them during my post-workout. It's been working good for me. I drink plenty of water every day though, and haven't had any problems.

    I would say you probably want to drink water after drinking a protein shake. It will help actually dilute the drink for you. What kind do you drink? Do you feel that it is doing everything you want it to do? I don't drink a protein shake. I drink a protein meal replacement that I love. If you like to know more about it , message me.
