Whey protein side effects

Protien does not boost test or anything. A high protien diet makes you less tierd overall. Try hitting your protein intake with meat and veggies and you Will feel equally as good if not better. Protein is just a supplement bro chill

sweeteners are bad, but unless youre drinking 4 litres of diet coke a day you should be ok.

stay on protein.

No long term significant effects. When you read those studies pay attention to the dosages of the sweeteners and see if they correlate to the average dosage you consume per day. In many cases, they jack up the dosage by hundreds of times when comparing to your regular daily intake.

You die from drinking water if you drink too much of it. Be critical.

Dude

It is literally powdered milk, but without milk.

Tell him to stop eating cheese.

You don't even need it to be honest, 30g of whey = 100g of chicken breast in terms of protein. Eat the chicken then if you are worried. If you go to the gym WITHOUT PROTEIN, then yes you r dumbing your way trough, cause muscles are made by it.

Studies like that tend to be bogus. Don’t trust any “scientific studies” that aren’t on pubmed or the like. Even then, make sure you read the whole thing before you go blindly accepting the findings.

That being said, protein and enough calories are the most important things for building muscle, but you don’t have to use supplements if your diet is providing you with enough.

You could also try the website Myprotein.com. The products there are very high quality, affordable, and you can find plain whey proteins without all of the flavors and additives.

Sweeteners are fine. That they “cause cancer” is a myth. They may affect some people (acne etc), just listen to your body. If you’re worried, just use 100% unflavoured Whey and flavour it yourself (eg cinnamon)

Whey protein is fine as a “supplement” to your diet, which should already be high in protein. Again, lactose may affect some people differently (bloating, acne etc), in which case just use other protein powders (eg. egg).

Just switch to pure organic whey.

Then you don’t have to worry about any extra calories, any sweetness or anything else they put it.

But just make sure you have it with some fats/carbs to promote absorption

Protein will help you repair your muscles properly. They're building blocks. If you subtract an amount of protein from your diet and don't replace it, of course you'll feel flat at the gym. You don't have anything to repair your muscles with.

I drank it once and one of my balls went up inside my body for a few days.

Theres no danger of whey - its basically a food in powdered form lol, as long as you arent having whey for breakfast lunch and dinner, you'll be fine - its one of the best researched supplements available

You’ll be fine man. It’s great for meeting your protein goals. Better than any of the shit an average Joe puts in his body.

I recommend not drinking whey too late. In my experience a nightly shake Disturbs sleep.

Protein's only side effect is a jacked body ;)

Get the unflavoured kind and add fruit for sweetness

I’m specifically talking about artificial sweeteners(sucralose and acesulfame k) and some links they have found to cancer.

Almost anything causes cancer in lab animals in sufficient doses. Table sugar being no exception.

These studies have historically been PR stunts by sugar producers who are trying to keep people buying and using their products. They tend to contain some creative statistics and small sample sizes to say the least. See for example, the infamous aspartame study. (Note: aspartame is a protein.)

Phenylketonuria is a pretty rare genetic disorder. The amount of phenylalanine in a packet of aspratame is almost trivial compared to most other foods, and if that was the only source in your diet you'd be OK. Nevertheless the sugar industry heavily lobbied the US Congress to pass a law that anything with aspratame needed to carry a scary sounding technical warning. I'm not saying it's necessarily bad, but nobody is legally obligated to warn you of the very real risk of fatty liver disease or diabetes from actual sugar.

For most people, table sugar is significantly more toxic than artificial sweeteners unless you have some obscure protein metabolism disorder.

Lastly , I tried to go without protein for 2 weeks, and I’m not sure if it’s placebo , but I don’t feel the same in the gym , and seems like I’m wasting my time without protein.

Whey protein is complete, meaning it has a similar level of the different amino acids as found in proteins in your body. Plant proteins generally are deficient in 2-4 given amino acids, however this depends on the plant. But a combination of legumes like peas or beans, and brown rice in conjunction provides basically the same amino acid profile as milk products, eggs, or meat. So does Quinoa. Quinoa is interesting because it provides a similar amino acid content to animal proteins.

However whey protein contains also opioid peptides. (POMC's)

These are mild narcotics.

So what you're probably feeling is mild withdrawal symptoms. (Depression, irritability, indigestion, sleep difficulty, feelings of worthlessness or Anxiety.)

Bro just get unflavored whey and add a banana for flavor.

HurricaneHugues · 2020-11-07T20:56:35+00:00

Only side effects of whey protein when taken in conviction with great training, is great strength gains and good mass. Get some, pussy!

Selfimproving7 · 2020-11-06T23:50:18+00:00

Try vegan protein powder, same amount of protein and suppose to be healthier for you (friend with masters in kin told me to get the fuck off whey and recommended it). Only con is it doesn’t taste as good.
