SDC Nutrition / About Time Whey Isolate Protein Birthday Cake Batter Review

I screwed up. I dumped one packet (like the one above) into 16 ounces of water, and realized after, that the suggestion was to use 8 ounces of water.
Instead of re-doing it, I just added another packet. The calories in this About Time protein are so low, that it's only 200ish calories for two servings, and 50!! grams of protein.
What I have now, in front of me, is a Strawberry + Birthday Cake Protein Shake (two separate flavors) made with 16 ounces of water and nothing else. I typically go with just. water. when I am trying to review a protein powder, because I like to doctor my shakes up after I get the gist of what they are Meant To Be on their own.
The smell of each flavor, before adding to water was merely sweet, no real pungent protein smell at all. Dumped into my cup, it's a very fine powder with no clumps. Mixed with too much water, it was very thin, and not at all sweet. Mixed CORRECTLY, it's slightly creamy, but not at all thick. There was no foaming even when I shook the crap out of the cup.
Mixed, it's a slightly thinner than a typical artificially sweetened protein powder, but still thick enough that it's not like a clear protein powder base. Since I mixed two flavors, I can't really tell you if the Strawberry is great by itself, however, I CAN taste the vanilla from the "Birthday Cake" flavor, so the two mixed is YUMMY. My only complaint is a slight dry lip feel afterwards, like most other whey proteins, but it's not really feeling that way IN my mouth.
One serving would have given me 102 calories, ZERO CARBS and 25 grams of protein. Since I'm having two because of my mistake, I'm have 204 calories, ZERO CARBS and 50! grams of protein. That, my friends, kicks protein ass.
This product is sweetened with Stevia, a natural plant based sweetener, and I can't tell. Had you said it was sweetened with anything else, I wouldn't know.
If you're looking for super low carbohydrate protein product that is naturally sweetened, "About Time" Protein is one to try. After weight loss surgery, it's pretty imperative that we keep the carb level low and the protein level high, and two servings of this product would hit close to the minimum protein requirement for most early post ops. I find that it's easy to sip, and not leaving any aftertaste, so as a new post-op, this would have gone down smoothly I bet.

It tastes more like water and cinnamon than anything else. Very disappointed with the flavor.Doesn't have that somewhat 'creamy' flavor many other shakes have. Will not buy again (at least not this flavor, not sure about any others). The one good thing is that it is not sweetened with splenda like so many other whey proetin shakes are.

I compared a lot of protein powders before buying this one. It's a bit pricier than most of the other powders I looked at, but reviewing the amino acids I could see that it's a superior product; thus, the price is justifiable. Unless you're trying to gain weight, you'll also want to note the low calorie and fat content. What surprised me is that it also tastes good.

It's the best product you can get if you want a fast absorbing/great tasting protein drink. Mixing this with water produces the best taste for the combo that I've tried thus far. To all the people complaining about the price, if you have a disposable income and want fast results, this is for you, to all the others that complain about the price, go for gold standard, it's cheaper but absorbs slower and is lesser in quality. Overall, outstanding product.

I normally by the NOW whey protein isolate which is great. But this time I screwed up and ordered the Whey concentrate. Big mistake, I've had gas and bloating for almost two days, and I eat multiple serving of yogurt and milk everyday with no problems. Short story get the Whey Isolate, it is excellent, mixes well, tastes great and digests well.

BNRG Whey Protein Vanilla Creme Review

After having tried many Protein powders, had settled for Optimum Nutrition products for a few years.
I needed a change and I researched around a bit, when I hit upon this product. I was a bit skeptical initially.
But the first sip just bleeeewww me away !! Amazing taste ! Just Wow !!
Take it from a taste-picky person like me! Proto-Whey packs in plenty of new technology as well.. These are peptides and not isolates, hence are a bit more expensive and absorb completely !
Cafe Mocha , Double Chocolate are my faves.
My go-to shake :
EAS Carb-control Vanilla shake ( or Fatfree Milk )
3/4 cup nuked instant plain oatmeal.
1/2 banana / 1/2 cup raspberries
2 scoops of Proto-Whey
A couple of ice cubes.

Now Foods WHEY PROTEIN Review

I'm a personal trainer, nutritionist, and former bodybuilder. The pure unflavored whey protein isolate is definitely the best protein powder you can find. There are many health benefits to using whey protein, but with all of the artificial sweeteners and additives in most powders, those health benefits are ruined. Insulin sensitivity is a major factor when it comes to burning fat and building muscle. Lack of insulin sensitivity is the reason for sugar cravings and getting the shakes when you don't have your Coke or Pepsi everyday. Whey protein is proven to improve insulin sensitivity more than any other protein source, but common additives like Acesulfame and Aspartame cause insulin secretion much like sugar, and that diminishes the whey's ability to increase insulin sensitivity. The key to burning fat 24 hours a day is to keep your insulin in a low to moderate range, and avoiding spikes.
As for guys trying to build big muscles, insulin and growth hormone are very important for building muscle, but when one increases the other decreases. That's why professional bodybuilders use both insulin and HGH at the same so they can get the best of both worlds. Unless you want to pay $2,000 a month for prescription HGH and insulin, your best bet is to keep your insulin in a low to moderate range so you can gradually build solid permanent muscle while gradually lowering your body fat at the same time. Having a high carbohydrate protein shake immediately after your workouts do help build muscle by filling your muscles with glucose, and that's fine if you're going for the modern Ronnie Coleman look. The low sugar/insulin diet is best if you're going for the lean old school Scharzenegger look. Believe me, women definitely prefer the lean old school bodybuilder look over the bloated pot belly gorilla look of the modern bodybuilder.
So my recommendation for a good protein shake for not only weight loss, but fat loss, and muscle gain; is a scoop of pure whey isolate, a little xylitol, and some plain natural cocoa. The whey kills your appetite and keeps your insulin low, the cocoa is a strong antioxidant and increases serotonin to fight hunger and boost your mood, and the xylitol makes it sweet without causing any insulin secretion in your body. It isn't the greatest tasting shake in the world, but it's still pretty good and it makes losing fat much easier. Having that shake with a small meal a few times a day is an easy way to put your body into a positive nitrogen balance, which means your body is burning fat and building muscle.

So I guess i'll start off saying that whenever you want to know what is in a product, you want to look at ingredients. The law for these marketers is that they must list the ingredients in order from highest concentration to lowest. The first ingredient in 4Ever Whey Isolate, is whey protein isolate, which lets you know that is what you are getting. Second thing about this 4Ever protein is the amount of amino acids. Go look at other more expensive and other less expensive brands and no one can compete with the amount of amino acids in 4Ever whey isolate. 14.55 grams of glutamine! 11.17 grams of leucine! This protein is the ultimate protein supplement because of the cost vs. what you get analysis. With 26 grams of protein per 1 scoop serving, it also has more than the average protein powder. 0 fat, 0 cholesterol!, 112 calories, and only 2 carbs makes this the best of the best meal replacer, lean mass gainer, protein supplement for anyone trying to put on muscle, lose weight, or just maintain a healthy diet. The only bad thing about the vanilla is the taste, I prefer chocolate much more but both stir easily with just a fork and water! What other protein powder can do that?
