Are diet supplements the whey forward?

Fifty Shades of Whey on sale on Amazon for zip (3/3/13)

Is whey protein a natural addition to a healthy diet?

I was just browsing the newsfeed on Bottlenose when I saw an article zip through for a

free Kindle book by W ill Brink on offer in Amazon. The subject was Whey Protein.

If you don't know Will, he's one of the most prolific t rainers in the US to combine product

reviews either for his own readership or on behalf of other big players in the abs workout

genre with successful fitness web copy and videos.

Not only is The BrinkZone itself full of free kit, exercise and equipment demos and

workout tips, but there's also a plethora of his reports in the form of e-books off-site.

There are weight loss gurus and personal trainers who swear that your penis will shrink to a peanut shell, bones

crumble and belly balloon if you ever go near whey powder or similar supplement.

I tend to disagree with at least some of their reasoning. Not only because of personal insight gained over a

decade studying nutrition, but there's a definite marketing angle behind the reason that so many fitness 'gurus'

advise you to leave whey alone.

Get a whey? No, it's true.

Back in the day, I sold Herbalife products . Ooh, it was long, long before David Beckham sported their infamous

cannabis-like leaf logo across the front of his L.A. Galaxy football shirt.

As such, I can attest that their main product, Formula 1, was great for weight loss. Furthermore, it contained so

much nutrition that it was more than adequate as a supplement if you were looking to to gain a few pounds, too.

Weight gain from a workout point of view was particularly effective when Formula 3, the protein powder, was

added to your diet alongside Formula 1.

Formula 3 contains whey and soy for healthy muscles and bones, so this product on its own served a dual

market: fitness fanatics and those in later years developing osteoporosis.

Type 1 diabetes was the instigator of nutrition fascination

C'est moi, before and after

my abs workout program...

Back then, my interest was ignited by my wife's battle with

weight control and type 1 diabetes rather than muscle gain or

bone strengthening.

That said, I did buy the Calcium and vitamin D supplement for

myself, having had a long history of calcium deficiency.

Compared to other products at the time, it struck me that the

total cost for one monthly weight loss package was slightlyexpensive at around 80. Not that the customers thought so.

Never having had to lose weight myself, I'd no idea of the value

people who needed to lose weight placed on successful

products to help them realise their fat-burning goals.

I'd also started to lose a bit of faith in the organisation.

The creator of the (then) range, Mark Chapman, had died at

42 of pneumonia. No one mentioned that at the outset.

Reading between the lines, he'd been taking the Herbalife

product for so long (two decades), his system had become

super-healthy.

When he developed pneumonia, his antibodies were so weak they were unable to fight the resultant symptoms.

Finding that out we'd invested in our stock (it was a franchise-type distributorship, so money up front - about1,000 to get the maximum discount) was an underhand way of breaking that news, in my opinion.

It wasn't until several years after I dropped Herbalife that I realised the value of the package as a whole.

Think 'Diet Chef' or a simple monthly W eightwatchers or Slimmers W orld membership and you'll soon see the

benefits of a product like Chapman's to both your health and wallet in the long term.

Let me temper that statement: providing you incorporate it with an otherwise healthy, nutritional diet,

obviously. Can't do without those antibodies, just ask any alien from War of the Worlds.

However, the rot had set in. My misconception of the value of the product and the somewhat deceit ful way

Chapman's death had been glossed over saw a lack of conviction develop in me that shattered all belief I had in

Herbalife and in myself to sell their product convincingly.

I was young, opinionated and ambitious. Then I got married and those personality traits were soon sidelined. No,

seriously, this culmination of factors genuinely made the Herbalife Distributorship harder than it should have

been.

Whey protein supplements are a genuine dilemma

Hindsight through experience is a wonderfully frustrat ing gift. Knowing what I

know now, Herbalife is certainly something I've considered doing again.

On LinkedIn just recently, I've connected with one of my old upchain, so the

longevity of the product and its market is without question.

This is possibly why my interest was poked by Will Brink's free 50 Shades

of Whey book on Amazon.

What's more, this experience is telling me something else, too...

...fitness gurus selling their own programs will tell you to stay away from

whey, even though it contains many subfractions of protein, lactose, fat and

minerals. Many similar supplements are given the same rough ride.

The gurus will research and publish 'research' articles about a 'shocking'

aspect of the supplement. It's probably scientifically sound in one diverse

circumstance or another, but you'd probably expect this, wouldn't you?

Think about it.

The longer you're subscribing to their e-mails, the more opportunity they have

to sell to you. Even if you buy just to get shot of them from your inbox.

Yet, the longer they stretch out your individual program even after you've

bought one, the longer you're subscribed to them for an upsell product.

See where I'm going?

Whey provides essential amino acids - our muscles' building blocks - in a hit

we'd struggle to extract in similar proportions from our regular diet.

Given that producers of abs workout diets pontificate about the benefits ofprotein, fat and minerals, why do you suppose they then tell us to avoid

whey, which contains them all?

See what I mean? The advice the gurus furnish us with does tend to

contradict itself somewhat, dunnit?

And to add to this convoluted mix, you'd be amazed at how many research

results come down on the side of those funding the study.

We must realise, justifiable arguments can be made for or against almost any

result thrown up during a project. That's just science.

If the outcome those funding the project is looking for is no secret, you can

bet your bottom dollar the conclusions will be dressed up accordingly. Why?

If the instigators of the research are satisfied with the results, they're likely to

be back next time their marketing team wants an investigative safety net.

So here's my genuine dilemma. I've achieved an all-over toned body withoutsupplements following a program very similar to The Definition Method.

However, I genuinely struggled to put weight on once I was into single-figure

fat content. I know now I didn't up my diet enough, but whey may have

helped. Who knows?

Next, there's Will Brink who's spent time and effort producing a 58-page

report/ebook about whey in order to dispel the myths and/or hype.

Although I've not yet read it, from the synopsis and articles I've browsed on

his cracking site, I guess he comes down in favour of such supplements.

On the flip side, you've got programs like theTruth About Abs andFat Loss

Factor - they're the two programs in the sidebar banners to the right - that

have proven abs results, yet deride the use of all supplements.

So I'm asking you, fitness fanatic or abs workout guru, to put me out of mymisery as I truly don't know the answer:

Are protein and whey supplements beneficial to your weight loss

and/or six pack abs goals or not?

Never having used them to any great extent, I'm a little in the dark. I'd love to

hear your thoughts, advice and experience (any one of those, not necessarily

all three) into the comments below.

Many others besides me are keen to understand the benefits of whey protein

from someone who's used it, either with success or failure. Thanks.
