Protein Shakes?

Kasper Posts: 153 Joined: 2002/08/30	2002/09/13, 11:10 PM I got a 72oz Weight and Muscle Gainer powder thingy, so as it says a few hours before you workout you drink one. Somehow it gives me diahrea like an hour after I drink it. Is that normal?

Beans and other foods will do this too. Try only half the amount next time and see what happens. Your body will need a bit of time to adjust to it too. I'd start with a smaller amount first and slowly work your way up. It's better to have a small amount get digested than have the whole thing just pass right through ya... just like throwing money out the window.

You colone wasn't meant to operate like that. I'd figure out better ways to loose weight ;) Unless you like hanging out near washrooms for fun :)

Also, you may cut down on your dose. Try what is a very anabolic training regimine, take half before training to flood your system with aminos and the other half immediately after. And mix it with water, will help if you are lactose intolerant. Good luck.
