Sara Larsen Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 if i am doing the whole 30 next week .. is the stronger faster healthier brand kind of protein powder off limits? Im assuming it is cause of the sugar an lactose. Im sure its talked about somewhere on here i just needed an answer quickly. Thanks! any other kinds of protein powder i can have that would be ok?

michelle888 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Protein powder is off limits during whole 30. They are generally derived from whey, which is dairy. Also, Whole30 is about real, whole foods. Protein powder is highly processed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara Larsen Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 thanks .. the kind of powder i have isn't highly processed though- its stronger faster healthier(all natural, free range,grass fed cows, nothing added) ... but good to know.. guess i will have to do without it for my 30 days..

missmary Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 thanks .. the kind of powder i have isn't highly processed though You might want to think about this a bit more...protein powder is by it's very nature a highly processed food, regardless of how "clean" the source materials might be. Food doesn't generally come in "powder" form in nature, unless we are talking about bee pollen, lol. I've given up my protein powder habit (I used to use Vega, which is rice/pea/hemp/chia) and I'm feeling really good about eating real food in the morning. worth a try for 30 days, anyway. good luck to you!
