Protein Shakes, Supplements, Meal Replacements what do you take?

[Booess]

I have recently started going to the gym properly and have been trying out a lot of the different brands of protein shake as a light snack alternative and for after the Gym to help build and repair muscle. To be honest I am new to it all and find it a bit confusing and overwhelming!

What do you use?

Ani is putting together a CORRECT RDI and where to find in natural sources and hunting the best supplements on the net.

I take Royal jelly in the morning, with some hemp seed oil in juice. Bee products are quite expensive but seriously the shit.

Humans are designed to eat green leafy matter. If we are to believe darwins theory of evolution we came from the see so sea plants are a good source of goodies.

Ill come back with more links later, gota shoot!!

holy shit

[GrandMaster]

WPI from http://nobullsupplements.com.au/ mixed with a spoonful of psyllium husk for breakfast and WPI by itself post workout
thinking of switching to WPC for the breakfast shakes, from what i've read they get absorbed by the body slower so are better for meal replacement, where WPI is better for post workout.
WPI is also almost zero carb, which is good because i'm doing mega low carb diet at the moment

[nosaj D:]

super shakes

[frank]

amphetamines

[Yossarian]

WPI from http://nobullsupplements.com.au/ mixed with a spoonful of psyllium husk for breakfast

Fuck yeah, psyllium husk, shit like a champion. I'm thinking of doing the same and mixing in some frozen berries and shit, ever tried that?

[Slurm]

Real food.

[GrandMaster]

KING KONG SHITS
recommended dosage: 1 teaspoon. fuck that, *heaped soup spoon*
havent chucked berries in there, should do though, delicious and also as low carb as fruits can get

[aleks]

eat right & exercise

skipping meals/meal replacement is bullshit

[Suloh]

i use, WPC, WPI, HWPI, Powderized oats, Dextrose, Maltodextrin, and the most important MILK (no not all at once)

[Andyy]

holy shit

i use bought my first (and only so far) order from Bulk Nutrients, 4kg's of 2x Vanilla 2x banana for $35per kg. BARGAIN!

I also started using creatine i got from dubai, been on it for 2 weeks, nice improvements happening atm

How long u been doing it for? do u find that u fart a lot more when doing minimal/no carb dieting? i did...

[Yossarian]

That tends to happen a bit with more bro-tein and less carbs in the diet.

[ZD]

best i've ever tried.


slow release and the recovery is great.

i've tried a lot too. WPI, Pure 100% whey protein, soy protein, lots of different brands. number 1 rule would be to buy american brands. they use the best quality ingredients. the market in the US is SO fucking huge that they wouldn't make it if they were shit quality products.

ps: take this before working out too. lots of fun

[GrandMaster]

How long u been doing it for? do u find that u fart a lot more when doing minimal/no carb dieting? i did...

about 10 weeks or so, not much difference as far as farts go but was lacking energy for the first 2 weeks or so, almost died when i did the first rpm class after no carbs.. my body has adjusted now though and its all good. trying to keep under 50g carbs per day but usually have a cheat day on the weekend where i'll eat a bit of rice with dinner or some sourdough toast with breakfast. havent lost a shitton of weight - down from 93 to 89 but putting on some muscle and getting aesthetic so its an improvement from before
im getting married in like 11 weeks so gotta look good!

eat right & exercise

Agree to a certain extent. Skipping meals is bad news if you are doing a fair bit of exercise, but if your doing fuck all then it doesnt matter as your not burning energy. Never done meal replacements so cant comment.

As for protein, I use Hydroxy Ripped. Really like it. Have Vanilla flavour as my mate who got me onto it said it was the best from what he had tried, but Im tempted to try banana next time, unless any TSers tell me banana tastes like shit.
Also, if your not buying it online, go to chemist warehouse. They are pretty cheap. I think 2kg cost me $80

have you tried Caramel?? Ommmmm its good!

[HunterM]

i use ON whey for my protein


and just started using this creatine compound


the Creatine is good so far but in a 100g serving only about 12g is creatine. Bit of a waste of money when i look at it that way.
The rest are sugars compounds which help deliver the creatine to your muscles. Next time i will buy a pure creatine and just have 5g servings with a powerade or something.

The Protein you want is a Whey Isolate. I dont fancy the taste too much so thats why i use the coffee flavoured one by Optimum Nutrition shown above.
Market is full of products and its really all about personal preference as it all comes down to different opinions.
i only take the protein because i find it hard to keep up the protein intake in every meal so it helps. If you have just get it from your food try go for it that way.


As for price i suggest using www.aminoz.com.au
Australian wholesale company that is cheaper then most places here. there are places around like in belmont forum that are very cheap. majority have their prices jacked up.

[Psyche]

Bee products are quite expensive but seriously the shit.

[dart]

ultimate meal replacement, a pack of these and a glass or two of milk:

[~Msv~]

I want monte carlo's now Damn you dart!!! haha

As for supplements. I take Tresos-B multivitamins, high strength fish oil (liquid), high strength glucosamine. If Im feeling lathargic in the arvo I will also have a berocca to perk me up and get me past the 3 oclock fuzzies.
Drink water and only water during the day excluding the milk with cereal. Dont touch coffee, tea, soft drink etc. And yea, milk with my protein shakes. Tastes like poo with water imo.

[hearts]

o.n whey after, (french vinilla creme)
n.o explode before- works alright for a while, but you get sick of the taste, not sure what the 2.0 version is like though

[HunterM]
