Protein Poweder

Good response, clearly you're right and I'm wrong.

And the twins are hilarious IMO, much better than poptart fitness.

Good luck again on your fat loss goals for 2012.

Rah. You're an excellent judge of quality posts. Your other posts are clear indications of this.

Anyways, you're suggesting that isolates are somehow better when cutting. Please provide evidence of why this is so.

And I couldn't care less if they're hilarious. They spread nonsensical bull**** and fill people's head with retarded information that isn't remotely correct.

Body By Vi! 99% absorbable, tri sorb blend with soy and whey, and it tastes awesome! low carbs and low sugar, cant beat it! :drinker: Check it out at http://myvi.net/carolanne, or join my facebook page M2B with Visalus.

I get the leanfit whey protein isolate from costco in Canada. It's about 36g of protein per scoop, so sometimes you only need to use half a scoop . The advantage of getting the isolate is it's unflavoured, so I can put it in whatever I want. The other whey protein I saw at costco was all flavoured, which I didn't want.

Hope this helps

That means a lot coming from someone who hides their profile and whose physique is no better than mine. Either prove your point or scurry off. If you want to insult my physique then you have the freedom to but I'd at least expect you to have a much better one than mine, which you don't.

I already told you my point.
Concentrate protein has more ash/fat/other unwanted constituents and protein availability in concentrate is more varied- lower than that of whey protein isolate.
It all depends on what the person's goal is especially in this difficult financial climate since isolates tend to be a bit more pricier.

The reason I believe isolates are better for fat loss is because you are guaranteed over 90% of whey protein isolate. NOT ALL PROTEIN ARE MADE EQUAL, especially depending on where the powder is manufactured - you may want to avoid unwanted constituents in your body as fillers.
Having said all of that, good quality concentrates/isolates will end up giving you the same results in the end.

BTW, why get so offended/defensive about your figure when I put up that picture? Wasn't insulting your physique, but making fun of Ian S.'s logic since you said the Twins give out "retarded information." If you believe that my physique is no better/ than yours than that's fine - I really wasn't trying to compare our physique.

On a side note, do you think the Hodge Twins are a good source of info?

thx for the suggestions, do you know where i can get them in canada? I heard lots of good things about the one from target, but sadly we don't have a target here

Well, we'll have Target before too long, they bought out Zellers. You can get the Iso-Whey powder I mentioned all over the place (Fortinos, Whole Foods, etc).

yes true but i have no idea when our target close to us will open, zellers isn't closing till nov here... plus they won't end up carrying all the same brands as they do in the states... the same thing was with walmart when it came up here too....

plus what's fortinos and whole foods,lol... we don't have those either....

Oh, I guess Fortinos only exists in Ontario. It's where my wife and I do most of our grocery shopping, as they carry all the President's Choice stuff that we like.

No I already stated earlier that I only watch them for the LOL's. They give out some good info and some terrible info but they are more credible IMO than Ian who just talks down on people and starts hate to get attention. Not really gonna beat a dead horse tho.

Regardless, you did insult my physique. I just want to get to the heart of the information (which we finally have), not engage in internet mental *kitten* or pissing match. You said something I disagreed with, so you felt the need to insult me as opposed to intelligently refute it. You stated your position more clearly and I have responded.

Never really was my objective to start out any sort of MFP/internet argument but it happened anyway. I did learn a lot more about concentrates from this which I try on a regular basis while bulking - but prefer isolates when cutting down. And me responding with "Good luck on your body fat loss goals for 2012" had to do with your first response "Please go, ignoramus."

i will have to see if there is one and go get some samples...

visalus, i swear by it, tastes amazing

Visalus Tri-Sorb Protein for Athletes and Body Builders
This shake is not just for weight management. It is for nutrition and for health. The shake, when mixed with non-fat milk or soy milk delivers 20-25 grams of protein, which is the amount nutritionists recommend we get in each meal.Body builders believe they often need more because they are trying to build lean muscle. This may not be true as not all proteins are created equal. This is the key reason they don’t put ‘grams’ of protein on the shake and tout it like many store brands do. I say this because some brands pump up the ‘grams’ of protein by adding gelatin …. great for skin/hair/nails, but not lean muscle. Some use dehydrated milk powder and some just whey. Those also are OK but not the latest in science, which is what most body builders are looking for.

They use a combination of proteins because they act differently in the body. The soy is used because of it’s heart health benefits. Adequate consumption of soy in the diet can help the body lower c-reactive proteins, an indicator of inflammation and possibly heart disease. Soy is also easily digestible and a complete protein. Visalus soy is unique in that they use a non-GMO Soy (not genetically modified) and it has been specially processed to remove the isoflavones that can impact estrogen. While those isoflavones may be beneficial (especially for women with fibroids) muscle builders, and others worry about the impact of estrogen. Non-GMO soy is about 45% more expensive than regular soy but we chose to use it because of the concerns some people have about soy.

They also use a whey concentrate for fast acting hunger control plus a unique whey hydrolysate, which is the latest technology and is very expensive. It helps retain lean muscle and is very highly absorbed. While some wheys can be absorbed about 80%, whey hydrolysate is much higher. It is a pure, clean and concentrated protein. Combine that with the Aminogen and they have more ingredients to help build and maintain lean muscle while promoting fast loss.

Guess I will have to go check out costco, seems cheaper.

It's much, much cheaper. Don't hold your breath on the flavour, though. It doesn't taste awesome but it's decent enough that it doesn't really make anything else worth it considering the incredible price point. Canadianprotein.com does make something that tastes much, much better (you can order samples) and their 5lber is far cheaper than XPN and proteinco.Their 25lb bag ends up being cheaper than Leanfit but you have to buy 25lbs of whey.

Buying the cheapest product you can find is often very risky. Obviously we all have a budget so it's natural to search for what appears to be the best deal. I am finding a lot of products don't contain what they claim especially in the category of whey isolate. For a company to price their products unbelievably low, they are either not putting what they say they are in the product, they are liquidating and about to go out of business, or they are purposely losing money trying to kill off some of the competition. The unfortunate reality is whey protein prices have soared in the last year especially, making it hard for many to afford their supplements. Just use caution when you find an unreal deal.

Anyone taking PGX for fiber, they also have PGX a protein shake with Whey
