If I make a protein shake with water

Yet you have shown to have ZERO understanding of how diuretics work. I mean, for goodness sakes, you literally gave one of the most ridiculous explanations of diuretics and even went as far as claiming that protein is a diuretic. That's really really really far far far far far from reality.

I probably just have access to information you don't have access to. I really don't care what you think. I know I'm right and I hope the OP is smart enough to listen to me because it is his HEALTH I am concerned about, not just proving some guy I don't even know wrong.

You do. Practically all nutrients comes out in the pee.

Oh, great. That makes sense.

Is that why my wee is a little white? Because that's the colour of the protein powder I use and I have a lot of it!

If your pee is white, you should see a doctor. Ha ha ha. Protein powders will give your pee a tint of yellow. If you eat beets, it may give your pee a pink colour. That's about it, but white is not a normal colour. Ideal pee colour is yellow hay that is clear with very few bubbles. That's when you know that your kidneys and body is functioning properly.

Wait. Lack of bubbles is an indicator of optimal pee?

:huh:

Lack of EXCESS of bubbles on a regular basis is an indicator of optimal pee

Lack of EXCESS of bubbles on a regular basis is an indicator of optimal pee

How many bubbles should be in my pee?

Yet you are clueless as to how diuretics work and sit there claiming that protein is a diuretic. You can claim all the collegiate degrees in the world but it still doesn't change the fact that you've been sitting their claiming that protein is a diuretic when it isn't has never been scientifically shown to be a diuretic.

*sigh*

I never said PROTEIN is a diuretic. I said that mixing the PROTEIN POWDER into the WATER changes the molecular structure of the whole concoction and makes it a very dangerous diuretic and will cause people to become very dehydrated AND THEY CAN DIE.

DON'T YOU CARE THAT PEOPLE CAN DIE????

You go girl! He obviously doesn't respect the fact that you have a Chemistry degree and graduated Magnum Cum Laude.

This is a support site!

Haters gonna hate...

I KNOW!

I'm just so frustrated that people keep passing out all this misinformation and putting people's LIVES in danger.

Don't bother rml_16... jdooks is a obvious troll

I wish MFP would do something about that.

Yes!

Have you seen Supersize Me and Forks Over Knives?

Eye-opening stuff.

So what should we eat, just breast milk? I read on another thread you can buy it online, I guess a wet nurse would be more than my grocery budget.

Ok, I'm pretty sure you're just being sarcastic now. If not, let's all hope your are for your sake

Yes!

You could find a single teenage mom whose parents kicked her out who will let you milk her for room and board.

And I think it's OK to eat fruit as long as it's organic and some leafy greens.

Does that count towards my daily water intake?

Only if you're less than a week removed from a 3-Day Raspberry Ketone Flush.

Funniest thread I've seen in awhile, especially the chemistry graduate's sarcasm. Freaking hysterical.

What intellectual equals do you have? Just a bunch of people whom are fear mongering how protein is bad for the body (when it's absolutely not, what do you think breast milk consists of? it has a high content of whey protein).

Breast milk is OK because it comes from humans and is natural for humans to ingest. It's the cow milk that's bad. IT'S FOR BABY COWS!!!

HA HA HA HA HA. I thought you were from a chemist background, you should know that they are chemically the same! They get broken down to the same basic sets of amino acids.

no, actually they are not, that is why some babies are allergic to cows milk, but not breast milk, etc. . .

I dno. I read somewhere once that when they tell you to get 8 glasses of water a day-- that tea, decaf, juices, and other drinks count so far as they are not dehydrating ones like alcohol or caffeine containing ones. For that reason I have been counting the ounces in every slim fast shake, and anything else I drink into my daily water intake for the day. There are days I only have half a bottle (8 oz) of actual water but put myself down as having had 6 glasses due to the adding in the shakes and having tea or decaf latte or pelligrino or jamba juice or coldstone smoothies or something. I've been doing this for over a week now and you can only survive without water for 3 days in the desert right? Well I haven't collapsed yet.

That lady with the "no it's got protein" answer sounds all sciencey and stuff, but I tend to rely on experience and plus I just don't WANT her to be right because I'd bloat and gag if I had to have 64 oz of actual real plain gross blech water on top of everything else I'm drinking just to get through the day.

If i'm not allowed to count coffee as water intake then a protein shake is way out of bounds

The reason you are not allowed to count coffee is because it dehydrates you. I was even told to add a glass of water for every caffeinated beverage.

Protein shake has no caffeine, unless you check the label and it does (for energy? for cappucino flavor? etc)

Science lady here graduated magna cum laude for science and hates that everyone wants to equate water for coffee but I will politely refer her to the movie titled "Like water for chocolate" as my exhibit A.
<====credentials: Almost enrolled in law school even took the Kaplan but went into the corporate world instead, does that count for anything?

And now I'm wondering if there are any baby cows that would be allergic to human milk...

(...and this is why I hate MFP...because ain't nobody got time for that.)

you hate everything.
