Are Protein shakes healthy for you? - Healthy Lifestyle Message Board

Hi,

I am starting on The Ultimate New York Body Plan by David Kirsch. The plan asks for two protein shakes a day. I heard that someone died using a powder formula from gnc. I was wondering If it would be safe to have whey protein. If so, what should I look out for?

Thanks

Dave

I have a whey protein shake at least 5 days a week. As far as I know there is nothing wrong with it. My shakes are low carb also. I don't use them for a body building reason, just for the low carb nutrients. I like the Designer Whey. I also use the egg white protein shake mix.

I don't know anything about someone dying from using them, if so there must have been other things going on than just the shakes.

I use Healthy N Fit egg white protein powder in Strawberry Passion. My nutritionist turned me onto it, and it's not bad! Supposedly it has a higher amino acid profile, and egg is a superior form of protein compared to whey or soy.

I think their good for you. I have one atleast 5 days a week. I started with gnc and I'm still here. I will say, if this diet consist of only protein shakes, stay away from the diet. I tried a diet like that years ago and messed up my body.

I use the ones at GNC. There great, and I havent died yet!! Honestly, you can croak by eating anything. You might even hear someone dying from eating a energy bar.
