Hi
First time post on here.
I'm after some advice. I'm on a low carb diet and taking two protein shakes a day as meal replacements, with a balanced meal in the evenings.
I've just finished 10kg of WPI/WPC blend from FitBodies Australia and without giving it much thought ordered 10kg of WPI from the same company. Both purchased from eBay.
However, after reading up a bit on various forums I've been a bit shocked to find out that a lot of protein powder is in fact utter garbage. I'm now pretty suspicious that my 10kg of WPI/WPC tasted so nice, and may in fact been milk powder mixed with Milo. The claimed protein content for the WPI is 93% which seems like bull given it's flavoured, so I'm suspecting it'll be milk powered mixed with god knows what.
In the last 14 weeks I've eaten very few carbs, cut out all booze and been exercising yet I don't think I've lost more than 10kg, so something doesn't feel right. My starting weight was an embarrassing 170kg which prompted me in to the change of lifestyle. With limiting the amount of carbs I expected to have lost approaching 20kg at this stage (around 1.5kg per week). If I have been inadvertently having 20g of sugar per serving it would make sense that the weight loss has been slow.
My question - can anyone recommend a protein powered that is actually what it claims to be? I want something that's under 1g of carbs per serving. What's a really reputable brand that isn't trying to rip people off?
Thanks!!
