weight loss question

the lean whey and whey light is the same protein but the whey light comes in a canister, flavored, and with a scoop. if you want to save a little money you can get the lean whey and select a flavor and sweetener if you wish.

Reducing fat is a matter of bringing down the calories. I would use the protein only lean whey or whey light. This will keep your calories down. You might even want to consider the hydrodipeptides. I recommend this to people to stay anti-catabolic while at the same time keeping the calories low.

Whey Lite and Lean Whey are the same thing. Whey Lite comes in a jug with a scoop and is flavored (vanilla,choc,or strawberry), and sweetened with Splenda. Lean Whey comes in a bag with no scoop, and you choose the flavor, sweetner, amount, additives, etc. (It's more customizable). Either way, it's great stuff for preserving lean body mass while on a fat loss program.

As far as whether to go low carb, I personally wouldn't, but you'll get a million opinions on this one. Low carb diets lower thyroid function, and at your age, that's not what you want. I would eat only natural carbs (fruits, veggies, and whole grains) and avoid man-made carbs. I'm a 43 year old female and that has worked well for me. Not to mention, low carb diets are so low in fiber and phytonutrients that you need for good health (and intestinal comfort)!

Good luck!

Ha ha, Alex and I replied at the exact same time--sorry Alex. I just saw your reply after I finished mine! Oh well.

Thanks for the quick responses...Fit42..what's your opinions on the sweetners. I know people are going in the Stevia direction but I've tried it with coffee and the bitter taste gets to me. Splenda tends to work for me but not alot of it either...what are some flavors that you like?

do you do the aminogen too?

Alex, should I get a Casein whey for before bed?

I love Splenda, but many people feel that it's bad news. I figure I'm allowed one "unhealthy" vice, aren't I?

Ok, I think I've got it...checked out the site Alex...Thinking of the Lean whey with Gourmet Vanilla, Splenda and with Aminogen...
Krill Oil
the Creapure 500mg.
and the Hyrodipeptides...

What do you think? Should I do the Carbogen?

Alex, boy, you really have grown. I purchased from you maybe around 6-7 yrs. ago...I think Melissa was there too...anyway, I was back in NJ at the time...I since have moved to Florida and thought I would look you back up and kudos on your huge success.

thanks for the help!

Be careful of artificial sweeteners.I have a friend who got neuropathy in his leg from using 'em.He didnt go nuts with 'em either.And the doctor told him it was totally from the sweetener.Also,they are kidney killers too.And yes,you are allowed one unhealthy vice..just got to be careful of which you choose.After hearing that i avoid all artificial sweetners as much as i can.Its scary what some of these supp's can do.
