Protein Shakes??

Haha you can buy his protein book for $49.95 to learn all about proten!

I suggest you do so. It's a phenomenal reference.

Not if the end results are looking like he does. No thank you!

I respect Lyle because of his credentials, but to be honest the fact that I've never seen anything that suggest he actually applies his knowledge to his own body makes me take everything he says with a grain of salt.

He's an endurance athlete. His physique is consistent with his goals.

Google Tommy (Sporto) Jeffers. Just one of many that have applied Lyle's Methods.

Whey is among the most bioavailable forms of protein you can ingest, which means that your body is utilizing it MORE than most whole foods.

Thanks for posting this chart. As a protein shake drinker myself I have been wondering what is the best type of powder. I personally drink either whey or soy and it looks like they are both good choices.

And for the original poster, I think protein shakes can be a great addititon to your diet as a meal replacement when you don't have time to prepare and eat a nutritious meal. I personally drink one for breakfast everyday and they give me energy and keep me full until lunch time. Previously I would skip breakfast, since I am not hungry in the mornings and that is a super busy time of day for me, and I would be ravenous at lunch time and make poor food choices. Depending on what I put in them (fruit, veggies, flavored extracts, pb, cappuccino powder) they range between 150-300 calories. They can also be great when you are on the go so you have something healthy and are not tempted with fast food.

Did a quick search and most of what I am seeing is he actually used Derek Charlebois for his diet on many occasions. Perhaps at some point he followed some of Lyles methods, but that doesn't mean anything. Lyle alone didn't get him looking the way he does. Plus, I know guys that look better than he does and they didn't follow Lyles methods at all. So his methods aren't the only way to go.

But again, to me, I'll take my advice from those that are actually applying and living the lifestyle that I am also living.

actually your friends could be right. some powders are bad for you.

Perhaps this is why you are so ill informed.

Hey we can't all be as badass and knowledgeable as you!

Sorry what was the question again?

Exactly.
Experiment and do what's right for you.
Fructose doesn't work for me.
Protein does.

Typical slimfast shake is 230 cals, 15g protein, 23 carbs (of which sugars 23) 7 fat, 3.5 fibre and sodium 0.23.

I am no expert on weight loss. If I was I wouldn't be trying to loss weight now. But I am excellent at research. Don't pay for information you can find for free on the internet. Just look for a .org sight because these will include medical research rather than a mix off good information and false information.

This covers why it is good to use protein shakes after a workout as well as how much you should have. Hope this helps.
