Star Nutrition's raspberry flavor has become my regular pick for protein powder. Blends smoothly and tastes solid mixed into water, tastes even better mixed with milk instead.
Agreed! A couple different brands make solid tasting clear whey options worth trying. Keep an eye out for a summer holiday promotion soon from one of them, regular pricing runs pretty high but deals pop up fairly often.
Completely agree. Some people take the protein obsession way too far. Yes, needs go up somewhat on this medication class, but be realistic about it. Carbs and fiber matter too, for energy and keeping digestion moving!
Shakes work fine as a meal substitute, but I'd cap it at one or two daily and lean toward whole foods otherwise. Chances are appetite suppression won't really kick in until you're two or three months into this drug class. In the meantime, focus on building healthy eating patterns, since that's what actually keeps the weight off once the medication's done its part.
