Dr Mercola and whey protein shakes



Recommended Posts

Look what I just found out about in my mailbox today.

I really respects this man's advice in his newsletters - if you don't already get them try them out for yourself.

Anyway, he is offering a very superior whey Protein in 6 flavors: Here - read a bit about what they are:

For a Limited Time: Get FREE SHIPPING and HANDLING on your ENTIRE ORDER (US and Canada Orders Only). Expires soon!

Every day your body faces a range of stressors that constantly challenge your health and wellbeing... Everything from daily tensions to physical activity to your diet can strain your body's natural balance.

Stress, aging and exercise -- especially overtraining -- can break down your body's defenses.

That's where Miracle Whey? comes in. Made from all-natural grass fed cows' whey, Miracle Whey? provides more of nature's nutrients. Plus, it's certified GMO-, pesticide, and chemical-free, protecting you from ingesting chemicals and hormones*

Needless to say they have much more written about it, too much for me to copy and paste here, but perhaps if you google his name you can subsribe to his newsletters and read for yourselves. Sounded so good, I ordered their 6 pk. Free shipping to me here in Canada? Why not!

I always have pampered myself when it comes to food and supplements, why stop now!

Check it out! 40 grams protein per serving, people!

Incredible!

I see this protein powder is really expensive. How much do I need to buy? I'm waiting for a surgery date, and want to be ready. Is this something I'll need from now on, to get my protien? I read that most use the shakes daily, to get the proper protein intake. Will I need this with the clear liquid diet during the 10 day post surgery? Please give me as much information abot what to do with the powder, how to mix it, what to mix it with, during the different stages of recovery. THank you

Judy, (I presume)

I don't know all the answers as I just ordered it, I will have it here next week, and then I can tell you more about that. I am assuming like most shakes it is with 4 oz or so of Water (I add ice) to one scoop of mix and shake in a tupperware type tall container (need a good seal)

I drank the Protein Shake I have now since day one. I am assuming that we may need the extra Protein for the 1st 6 months or so anyway, until out stomachs are capable of handliing a lot more food. It is just a tool to help us keep our muscles from deteriorating as they need the protein the most. afte a bit I will mix mine with skim milk, I think.

They look like declicious flavors, I ordered the 6 pks hoping that is all the protein powder I will need, as I still have some here from Walmart with a vanilla icecream flavor. I like it, but it is not this high of a quality that is for sure.

But hon, it is entirely up to you - just thinking this might be a great choice for many of this board.

Hope that helps,

cheers,

Donna

Donna, I'll be interested to know how they taste, the texture, and ever so importantly the smell. I've tried yet another 3 types of Protein powders, and took them all back to GNC. This time I went for soy Protein, and was absolutely disgusted. . .

I am now on my 20th brand and type. John used this one while he was overseas, and it's a whey protein. Fingers crossed this one works for me that we bought yesterday. The ladies at GNC are getting sick of me bringing crap back to them.

Have you tried Jay Robb whey Protein powder? I love the chocolate flavor, made with lactaid fat free milk and a few drops of banana extract. It's a treat for me.

Judy, during the clear stage I used GNC unflavored Protein powder and mixed it with crystal light, K20 Protein Water, and SF Hawaiin punch. There are the nectar drinks that are also allowable for the clear stage. You should check out the thread in the food section that shows where to order samples. If you can stand the taste, (the taste never bothered me) You should try to get protein in even during the clear stage.

My favorite for the full liquid stage is the PVL brand Whey Gourmet Peanut Butter and chocolate that you order from Netrition.com

I'm with you Tiff - tried again on Sunday - had diarrhea from 7 Sunday evening until about 2 on Monday ... they all have milk in them and I'm so lactose intolerant since the surgery -- noticed all the powders I have in the kitchen also contain milk ... so won't be using those ... wonder if there are any GOOD ones around that don't contain milk ... lactaid doesn't seem to work for me. I'll be interested to see what you think of these Stoongal.

Hmmmm it is my understanding that most whey IS a byproduct of milk, except soy whey, I believe, but yes, I will be sure to look for that when I get my order and let you know.

That such shocks are not so good for health are totally unfounded. These supplements, like other supplements are mere additions to your daily meals. You can eat like a meal after training or as a snack. This does not mean however that you depend on your overall nutrition. Include Protein shakes to your daily diet and you will surely maximum muscle growth. Be consistent with your training and you will definitely see results within a few weeks.

I purchased the 6-pack before my surgery - chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, Peanut Butter, banana, and grape.

So far I've only tried the strawberry and Peanut Butter and they were both very tasty! However, they have like 19g of carbs per serving so I think I'm going to save these for when I get my ice cream maker and just eat them for a treat and not as a meal/shake.

It says right on the container "Use this product as a food supplement only. Do not use for weight reduction."

It is from milk. It says on the container "Great Tasting whey Protein Mix from Grass Fed Cows".

Protein shakes, you can only get a lot of Protein at the same time without eating much food. In order to shake off, throw a ball or a multiple dose powder shaker bottle or blender. Mix in a blender if you decide to add other ingredients. These extra ingredients to add extra calories to your shake. It can also act on its own muscle building meal. Then, just add some more fruit or a glass of milk powder. Start the blender and blend and drink. Let stand in refrigerator for several hours, then cold.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

      1. NickelChip

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
