Women and Protein Drinks

Question
My mother has always been a health and fitness nut and she advised me to replace one or two meals a day with a Whey Protein drink. She said if I cut most of the carbs and replaced it with protein, I would lose weight. However, EVERYONE else who sees that I have Whey Protein powder in my kitchen says that it will make me gain weight. I exercise five days a week and lift weights twice a week now, so will the Whey protein help me lose weight or prevent me from losing it?

Answer
Hi Laura,

Rot. You can't use much protein and excess hurts your kidneys and more.

The noise about high protein is NOT eating EMPTY carbs. You want A LITTLE protein, quality carbs - real food.
2/3 fresh produce with 1/3 protein once a day, the rest qualtiy carbs.

Your dear mother needs to read more than ads. Liquid meals have a long term track record of losing the battle, not weight.
