H~E~L~P Ok I'm so darn confused. I have not started seeing a nutritionist yet, they may answer this. But I'm wanting to know which is better, what is the difference between the 2. I have been told that Soy is good for women but that's all I have heard. If you all would be so kind to explain the difference. Thank you in advance for all your help :}

i do soy as the whey protein gives me bad stomach cramps and goes rite through me. i also sometimes do the hemp protein, its not bad if you like the earthy taste to it and its also very good for you.

Whey Protein is the best protein supplement for the human body without exception. It is easily digestable & contains all amino acids in the proper amounts. There are several grades of whey. Whey protein isolate is the most preferred, it has more protein per gram than any other.

I do not recommend soy as a primary protein source. It is ok here and there but that's about it. It doesn't contain all amino acids used in the human body, it does however contain all essential amino acids. This for most people wouldn't be a problem, but since we aren't eating a full diet, chances are we are not getting all the nutrients the body needs to manufacture the deficient amino acids. Another thing to consider is soy increases the amount of estrogen in your system, again not typically a problem. But, you are dropping weight. Fat stores estrogen, as the fat melts off, the estrogen is dumped into your bloodstream. Then add to that the boost of estrogen from soy, ummmmm, moody much?

Thank you so much for the info. I will start my info search on Whey Protein powders and ready to drinks. Thanks again :}

Please do alot of research, I have noticed that Whey proteins give me heart palpation. Has anybody had these same problems, if so, please let me know what you are taking.

You must have some sort of milk allergy.

I found Dr Mercola's website very informative. The protein powder sold there sounded a lot heathier to me than most of the others.
