Hello all...yesterday I began taking whey...In the past I have never taken any supplements nor any protein shakes except for muscle milk and I didn't see a differences other than the dent in my pocket!!
I was reading the formula 50 workout book by 50Cent.in it he is saying take 1.5cup of whey and gatorade after every workout....I plan on giving it about 6 weeks from yesterday to see if I have any changes....
Does anybody have any experience with whey and how does it work for u?

I see more results from pure creatine. I do like the isolates though because it's a good ratio of protein to calories. Also, I can get some protein into my system before a workout without having to worry about digestion issues in the gym.0

Whey protein is as much a food source as it is a supplement. It doesn't "work" per say. Look at the label, those are the Macros you are getting from it. No magic.0

Its just a food. There is not really anything in them that will grow muscles bigger or faster. They are useful to help increase your protein if you have trouble getting enough from regular eating.
There is also no reason to eat around your workout unless you want to or you need to do something really active before the next day. .

If you dont want to read the whole thing at least read the "Practical Application" section at the end.0 -
It's a protein supplement, just like muscle milk is. It is just to get your protein in if you cannot do so with 'solid' food. You also do not need to take it with gatorade post workout.0
-
dude, what kind of results where you expecting in a day?0
-
Gatorade has nothing to do with your muscle growth. All it does is "put electrolytes back in you" or re hydrates you after sweating it all out. It is also very high in sugar. It isn't that bad I guess, but only athletes should be drinking it. Obviously you work out, but some one who does not work out would only get fat off of drinking Gatorade.0

If I drink Gatorade and don't workout...
...I'll get fat?

^ This. It's just useful if you can't get your protein elsewhere, or just like the taste. It's far from necessary and doesn't have its own special results unique from chicken or tuna or any other protein source.Gatorade has nothing to do with your muscle growth.

^ Gatorade won't give any miraculous results without exercise, for sure. And even with exercise, it's just a recovery drink - rehydrate, rebalance electrolytes and replace some calories.
But the only way it's going to make you fat is if it contributes to a caloric surplus. Sugar consumption does not automatically make you fat.0 -

Even if they were in a caloric deficit?0 -
Whey isolate is much better than soy protein isolate so you have made a good choice. It does not really answer your question but I thought I would share that it is important to stay away from soy protein isolate.0

Certainly not, that person is just misinformed or didn't think their whole post over before posting it.
Yep....hence the question.0 -
I gained 100 pounds in a year from drinking Gatorade.0

Sarauk,
The world has been mislead by the billion dollar industry. It would be wise to steer clear of soy protein isolate. Soy protein isolate is one of the most genetically modified foods on the market. It can wreak havoc on the thyroid gland. Soy is difficult for the body to absorb unless it is fermented soy. Fermented soy is not a problem. Compared to soy protein isolate, whey protein isolate is easy to absorb. More amino acids will reach the muscles quicker which will help to rejuvenate the muscles. Improving your muscles will improve your thyroid which will give you a healthier metabolism.
There are so many other reasons I can share.
Here is a video if you would like to watch.
I was in the dark about the dangers until I started ingesting soy protein isolate every day for three weeks in a row.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uIn2L90wA8

Soy is very bioavailable.
That video is from Merclola - not a credible source...at all.0 -
Dr. Joseph Mercola seems like he is a very knowledgeable health expert. Maybe you know somethings about him that I don't?
Dr. Mercola is only one of many health experts that know about soy protein isolate.
Dr. Mehmet Oz from the Dr. Oz show also believe in avoiding soy supplements made from isolated soy components.
I believe in what Dr. Oz would have to say because he is not trying to sell his own products.0 -

Nuff said.
He and Oz are total quacks.
