Does anyone have any comments about this type of supplement? I heard that it can help you lose weight. Anyone else have success with it?

As a gastric bypass patient, that is the type of protein most recommended for us. I have friends that are not surgery patients that have used it to lose weight. I am told that kind of protien is the best absorbed by the body. It is also great for healing and energy.

i use the "now" brand of their undenatured whey protein isolate shake--has all the aminos and is also good for boosting the immune system.

I tried the "Designer" and it did not agree with me. There were a lot of other things added to this protein powder. I was at the health food store the other day and I saw another type of whey which is called "isolated". I am trying that now. Since I bought this in bulk format, there was nothing for me to read how to prepare it. Anyone have suggestions? Also, how much should I take? Thanks for all your thoughts!

It comes with a scoop right? and its 1 serving? If so then most recommend 1 - 2 scoops a day, mixed with 8 ounces of water, or you can use juice, milk, or other liquid but keep in mind their nutrients. I did make smoothies and added 1 scoop into about 12 ounces of smoothie, a nice way to take it, but got tired of washing the blender

Im not sure about the way it helps lose weight.

As shananava said, i also heard whey protein is the type of protein that is better absorbed and digested, fast acting.
