Sweeten with xylitol & stevia , it comes in different flavors. Bodybuilding.com carries it i believe...
Last week I ordered 3 boxes of Optimum Nutritiun Whey at
http://www.vitalymp-sportnahrung.de/
They send it to Switzerland for 12,50 EUR and even substract the German tax on the products. This made the Optimum Nutrition 2,2 kg box sell at only 49,44 EUR a piece.
Make sure you stay under the 200 CHF limit with your goods plus shipping though, otherwise the evil men at Post will send you a bill
Anyways, thanks for leaving at least one of my posts. BTW - if I was a spammer, I guess I would be more smart
for me its the cheapest way to deal with and they have a huge amount of products. so far I haven't pay taxes, cause I always order less than 150$ and then the shipping is only 4$ (takes about 10days). with this gift code GMC519 you save 10$.
Does anyone know if there're swiss supplements producer? if so I probably would order from them...but so far I only notice intermediaries which are to expensive.
I personally think the best price for CH can be found at http://www.vitalymp-sportnahrung.de/ for whey.
Thanks all!
Thus, I rely on www.bulkpowders.co.uk and www.myprotein.co.uk (they're fierce competitors and hate each other with a passion - it's quite funny, really) to get my all my supplementary needs. I have never been disappointed.
However, there's one catch. Occasionally, the DHL-people who deliver myprotein's stuff, they have issues finding addresses. So it's best to keep track of your orders and don't just go "Oh, this will come here soon on its own." It's a bit of a hassle, but you save a ton of money.
... and the protein shakes taste better.
Isn't it a bit of a pricey option for something you could just pick up in your diet?
Apparently, one answer was that so the people didn't need to actually cook anything.
(they spend so long looking at themselves in the mirror that they don't have time!)
Is it as effective as having a pure diet and eating like a horse every day? No, but then again I'm only trying to improve my body mass and shape for modest health and strength reasons, not looking to join weights competitions.
Again, you really can't see why people do it? Really, even when you give your grey matter a good stretch? They are there not to replace nutrition got through normal foods, but to supplement (hence the term, "supplements") an imperfect diet that doesn't give you everything you need.
I was just asking because the question of "how much is too much" came up recently. A friend of my mum has just been through hell because her grandson, who was trying to bulk himself up after being teased at school (poor kid is 18 and probably has not yet filled out naturally), completely over-did it on protein supplements and extra protein in his meals and ended up in hospital having collapsed at the gym.
His doctor has effectively "banned" him from protein supplements and sorted him out with a diet which naturally increases his protein.
Ahem. Right.
There are gazillions of formulas about how much protein to take, but one of most common is your-body-weight x 1.5 or more, supplemented by plenty of water during whole day. For me that translates to at least 130g of pure protein that my body needs to actually grow (and even then, it's super lazy, curse of really slim people. Benefit is almost no body fat no matter what or how much I eat). Plus digestion-heavy food like red meat cannot be broken down with 100% efficiency. Plus many people (like me) do gym always during lunch break to have an actual life in evening, and proper meal at restaurant after gym is simply not an option. Hence you supplement regular meals, which cannot provide you these amounts of protein.
Nobody here wrote about actually substituting the meals, so no need to get cocky.
