Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate, 1 PoundSome background. I'm 55 years old and have not worked out since my army days in the 80s. Two years ago I had an attack of acute pancreatitis brought on by gall stones, which was fun. After spending a month in the hospital and gall bladder removal I recovered just fine. Except for the fact that any time I ate more than 6 to 10 ounces of very bland food I'd start feeling pain around my stomach and often would get very nauseous. This led me to eating lots of small meals throughout the day and way to much snacking. Over the two years I ballooned up from 185 lbs to 225 lbs. My doctor has not been able to figure out why the pain and nausea happens. They've poked. prodded, scoped every orifice, taken more blood than I honestly believe was necessary, and done every scan that they have a machine for. After finding no solution my doctor recommend I might try working out. It might help, it was very unlikely to make anything worse, and he's been wanting me to go the gym anyway.I've only been working out for 5 weeks now and taking this product for 3 weeks. And I feel great.First. The Gold Standard 100% Whey Double Chocolate tastes delicious. In milk it's just about as good as a chocolate milkshake. I have to resist the urge to drink more just for the enjoyment. In water it's not quite that good but still very tasty.Second. I only take it right after workouts which are usually 8 pm - 10 pm after work. I'm up for another 2 to 3 hours afterward and I am getting no cravings where in the past late night was my worst time for eating snacks.Third. After the first five weeks I've lost 12 lbs, feel great and look forward to the gym each day. I also so far, knock on wood, have not suffered from stomach pain or nausea in that time. I've felt the pain coming on twice at work after eating too much but after working out I've felt fine by the time I got home. In fact both times the feeling just faded unnoticed at some point during the workout. I'm still careful about what I eat but I have cautiously begun to allow myself more variety at lunch knowing I'd be heading to the gym later.I don't know how much the Gold Standard Whey is contributing to all the positive things I've listed here but I'll keep taking it. In fact I just ordered the 5lb tub. I like the flavor and look forward to having it after my workout. It has definitely cut back my late night cravings. And if it is feeding my muscles on top of that I simply don't know what more I could ask for. Simply put, I love this product and want to have it's babies.

Whey protein is a mixture of proteins in whey, which is a byproduct of cheese production. It’s usually sold as a flavored powder, which is added to shakes, meal replacements, and protein bars. Whey Protein Supplements Can Help Boost Your Protein and BCAA Intake. Proteins are the main building blocks of the human body. They’re used to make various important things, including tendons, organs and skin, as well as hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters and various molecules. Proteins are also the building blocks of the contractile elements in your muscles. They’re assembled from amino acids, smaller molecules that are linked together like beads on a string. Some amino acids are produced by your body’s cells, while others are supplied by the food you eat. The ones that you must get from foods are termed essential amino acids. Proteins that supply all nine essential amino acids are the best, and whey protein is loaded with them. It’s particularly high in important branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) like leucine, and also contains a high amount of cysteine (7Trusted Source). Studies show that leucine is the most anabolic (growth-promoting) amino acid, and cysteine can help boost levels of the cellular antioxidant glutathione (8Trusted Source, 9Trusted Source). Whey protein appears to be particularly effective at stimulating growth in humans. In fact, human breast milk is 60% whey, compared to 20% in cow’s milk (10Trusted Source). The main types of whey protein are concentrate, isolate and hydrolysate. They can vary in protein content, taste, digestibility and price. There is a lot of evidence that whey protein is effective at increasing muscle and strength gains, though some studies find no effect. Protein has been shown to aid weight loss by boosting metabolism and reducing appetite. Whey protein can help increase fat loss while preserving lean muscle mass. Whey is high in essential amino acids and other healthy nutrients. It’s also rich in the amino acid cysteine, which raises levels of the antioxidant glutathione and leads to many health benefits. Whey protein is very safe. A commonly recommended dose is 1–2 scoops (25–50 grams) per day.

I have been using this brand of whey for a decade. My opinion is that it is the best on the market. Low sugar, high fiber, high protein, and mixes well. I repeat, it mixes well! There are many flavors to choose from, so when you start to get tired of one you can switch to another. I have yet to try a flavor and hate it, although some flavors are better than others. My favorite is double rich chocolate and my least favorite has been strawberry banana. The price is also competitive to other brands. I typically buy the 5 lbs. tub as this is really how you start to save.

Good overall taste was amazing and yeah provide optimum protein for gym freak, also easy to carry while travelling.one sache is enough for one time. Mixability was good with warm not hot water or milk.

PROS: I bought this size so that I can try it because I've never had a protein shake before and I didn't want to waste the product and my money. I actually liked it. It has pretty good flavor, the scoop was actually in the bag, not too high in calories, and a good amount of protein.CONS: I tried it with a cup of soy milk right away. Not a rich double chocolate flavor that's advertised. It's more like chocolate milk. If I used less milk the flavor was better. I can't imagine what it tastes like with water. I used a blender bottle to mix the shake. Sometimes there would still be undissolved powder at the bottom even when shaking the mixture with the blender ball vigorously. Don't count on it to keep you full for long, although it's protein, it's not much and it's still a fluid that doesn't keep you full for long.Another thing is that I tried the product with real milk, and it ended up having a sour taste. Maybe that was my taste buds because I don't like regular milk but it did taste a bit off to me.Packaging-wise I didn't like it. Like most products now, it was halfway full, the seal was a bit hard to close at first (maybe I'm just weak).OVERALL: As someone trying to lose weight, I will not purchase again for two reasons: 1) the flavor wasn't that great and 2)it didn't in any way shape or form control my hunger. I had the serving size (1 scoop -120 calories) and about a cup of soy milk (80 calories). I think it was just a waste of calories because fluid is so easy to digest so it doesn't keep you full which is the whole point of the protein. I might as well get those 24 - 30 grams of protein by eating REAL FOOD that will satiate my hunger for 3-4 hours instead of 1-2.
