I've been using Isopure Zero Carb for years. I used to bodybuild and I use it as a protein supplement in my shakes and in pudding, apple sauce, yorgurt..etc.
I don't use large amounts of protein unless I am very active. Your muscles will use up the protein and your body will burn it for fuel. I would not recommend high protein diets for couch potatos. It will put a strain on the kidneys. Those of us getting or moves on and drinking a lot of water will be super shape for having a high protein intake. I will do another thread about this in diet and exercise.
I only take about 20 - 30 grams in one serving because your body can only process that much at one time (once every 3 hours if you are getting ready for a competition). That is why most fitness / bodybuilders eat 6 small meals per day to keep their bodies consitantly supplied with protein.
Our bodies can not create amino acids on its own, so that is why we have to add protein in our bodies through foods, or supplements.
One thing to note when you are on a high protein diet is to drink tons of water. I have been doing this on and off for years and I am extreemly healthy, and in excellent shape, according to my most recently physical, and my doctor. (She asks me for advice when regarding training! LOL)
I use Isopure Zero Carb because I can't tolerate milk, I'm lactose intollerant. Isopure dose not caue gas or bloating as some protein powders can fore me (that ain't cute). It is 100% pure whey protein isolate, that means it has all the fat and carbs and lactose filtered out. Only one scoop (25 grams) at a time is needed although they recommend 2 (that would be for a big 230lb man who is weight lifting every day)
