Protein Powder???

[Netta1]

Do you guys use take protein powder. If you do what do you mix it with and how often do you take it???? Also what does it do for you?? If there is already a post on this just point me in the right direction...thanks!

I love protein powder...and I use the soy kind...it is good in tofu ice cream and chocolate syrup sweetened with Splenda for a great Malt like drink...

My hair has grown faster the more protein I take in...Noticed a major difference when I started the Atkins diet this year.

I use 0ptimum Whey Vanilla ice cream protein shake found at
GNC.
I usally drink it twice a day with skim milk and my hair growth has increased but I have been slacking lately.

There are some protein threads around here, but it would take me forever to direct you. I use GNC 100% vanilla whey powder; it has 20 grams of protein and few carbs and fat and sugar. You can hand mix it with water or juice just in a cup, but I mix mine in a blender with frozen strawberries, water, fiber powder, diet V8 berry splash, and sometimes, I also add carrots, bananas, or various berries. It tastes very good---and the fiber & protein is good for you.

When sticking with my protein every day, I think my growth does increase.

I've just added protein shakes to my diet......Zone perfect French Vanilla and Dutch Chocolate...So far I've made banana french Van. shakes, Rasberry Van. and Chocolate this week...I like them for breakfast because I've gotten into a bad habit of not eating until late morning almost afternoon and I've experienced weight gain...so I'm using these to undo the damage..... also getting back into my workouts......

if I see any hair growth I'll be happy to update you guys

I would like to know also because I was looking at some in Wal-Mart (the store I love to HATE) the other day and didnt know which one to try, the one with soy or whey and what to mix it with. I'm gonna do a search on it cause I've seen post about it here before.

Ok thanks for the responses, I just picked up GNC's 100% Whey protein powder. I only plan on taking it once a week before or after a work-out. Are most of you taking it and not working out?
