There's protein everywhere

Mister Vain · 24-04-2016 10:42PM #1

I've noticed this lately. All the shops are selling protein milk, protein bars, protein yogurts and lots of other food with added protein. There's even protein wheetabix. It just seems like a lot. Do you even lift?

Is there protein in whiskey?

There's protein in all living things so yeah, it's everywhere.

The Sidewards Man · 24-04-2016 11:40PM

I spunk protein.

It's far from wheys and shakes I was reared.

Milk and fish and a good hard day in the fields and there'd be no need for any of that nonsense.

People are more conscious about their appearance and physique and most people think protein and protein alone will get them lean and ripped...that leaves a massive market for high protein enriched products.

Lavinia · 24-04-2016 11:53PM

Yea its a massive hype really.. like other things were before that (eg zero fat etc) and its only a question of what will be next

It's so they can charge fifteen quid for a small bar.

Everybody knows protein is more valuable than Gold,pound for pound.

In 10/15 years time makers of these products will be looking back fondly at the good times they had, laughing at how stupid and gullible so many people were for buying their stuff, making them rich. It's all sold based on hype and false hope.

Fair play to them for exploiting the market all the same.

Minderbinder · 25-04-2016 01:20AM

As long as it's organic protein I don't have a problem with it. Then I can have it with my organic carbohydrates and eat it with my organic fork and knife.

Not bad for a by-product of cheese production..

Loadsa protein in doner kebabs and battered sausages. I'll be ripped in no time.

And 'gluten free'. I was eating a pack of corn snacks recently and it proclaimed with gusto that it had no gluten. Well yeah, it's made from corn. But with non-coeliac idiots buying these "no gluten" products for no reason, why not jump on the wagon to shift more units?

Protein Mars bar! 18g! It's healthy like!

I went on a high protein, high good fat and low carb diet for a few months last year. Not much sugar either. The weight fell off me and I never felt better. Went to a metal gig, drank 20 pints and completely fell off the wagon. After Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath next weekend I'm back into it..

The wagon?So how much you lose and what was the diet

You do realise there's a difference between making the snack from a substrate that doesn't contain gluten as part of its composition, and marketing something as a gluten free snack?
If there is any seasoning, all the raw materials in that have to be certified gluten free, with no carryover from anything containing gluten on that site, each batch has to be tested to ensure gluten free status etc etc. all that is not cheap so I'd have no issue with them making the claim to increase their target market.

Protein this that and the other. I smell a protein rat! SCAM!

I lost close to 2 stone in about 7 weeks. Cut out most carbs and just had stuff like broccoli, avocado, eggs, bacon, lots of chicken. Lots of water. Lots. And no sugar. No processed crap. I can't speak for anyone else but it worked for me. I felt unreal..

So it's what you didn't eat rather than protein,carb whatsit diet that lost your weight.

There's protein everywhere
