Never understood why the diet was full of far worse stuff than the normal whey. Its retarded. From what I can fathom the only thing that makes this diet is the green tea extract! So basically its higher in calories, higher in fat, higher in carbs, LOWER in actual protein that you want but **** at least it has some green tea extract.

Chalkier than my old school black board as well. Truly a woeful product this one from my experience and that's from a huge fan of MP in general.

Ordered some of this yesterday in Strawberry.. Arrived today, very impressive since I just requested standard delivery!

Anyone else had isolate turn green and salty on them?

Anybody watch Trust Me I'm a Doctor last night? Explained everything you need to know to know about protien powders?!

The non diet version doesn't contain oats so will mix better as its just a powder.

No matter how well you ground up oats they're still not going to be smooth when mixed with water and drank.

Have you not been on the internet recently? All carbs are now toxic and eating any will cause obesity and diabetes. :stuck_out_tongue:

it tastes like crap, and it has a bunch of crap in it, I have no idea why it's diet whey when it has more sugar and rubbish in it. Do yourself a favour and go for impact whey isolate, it is a huge improvement in content and taste. This stuff only comes in chalk flavour.

The amino acid profile is no better than whey. They're virtually identical.

Casein is marked at 77 on the bioavailability charts, whey is 104.

Side effects? You'll only bloat if you're lactose intolerant, which will happen with casein or whey.

Carbs in powders are minimal unless you're comparing it to something like syntha 6. Myprotein Whey concentrate has 4g per 100g and their micellar casein has 6g.

Longer acting - makes nil difference to anything. Protein synthesis is significantly different between casein and a whey concentrate in whey's favour. You're not going to lose muscle mass overnight if you use whey over casein.

No difference in gut absorption.

Apart from all of those things though, good points.

I've never used the diet, but it seems strange that something designed to help you lose fat would have that high a carb and sugar content. If you want to justify that as a meal replacement thing then OK but no nutritionist would ever suggest that these things can act as a proper meal replacement as they just won't give you the same nutrition as a proper healthy balance meal. Maybe every now and then if you are struggling, but these should not be a long term solution.

If you want to lose fat properly and keep it off (rather than a short terms loss, before putting it back on) then focus on clean eating proper foods and training using a mixture of weights and HIIT. Adding supplemental protein is fine in principle but you have to be careful when it also contains added carbs and sugar.

Personally I would go for the impact as you can play around with the carbs depending on your goals - if you're going for a high carb plan then just add your own oats as needed or get your carbs through other sources. At least that way you can control the carb (and the type of carb you use) and sugar content as needed.

The other thing to note is that someone posted the nutritional info and it shows that the diet has less protein per 100g than the whey isolate, but more protein per serving. That suggests to me that you will be expected to use more of the diet product per serving than for the whey isolate so bear that in mind if you are looking at cost as a factor - don't look at the cost per kilo of overall product, look at the cost per kilo of the protein content.

This item is supposed to be used as a meal replacement.

That is why it has more carbs and fats.

To those arguing between this and the isolate, go for the Impact Whey Protein that was posted here. Granted it's more expensive than the diet, but if your carbs need to be looked after it's 4g per 100g and has 30% off. 5KG for ~£40.

How many scoops per shake?

That's ideal then init..

You're better off with casein protein.. This stuff probably taste of ass..

Casein is slow digesting. Should only really be used at night by anyone who is actually serious about lifting etc.

Not to mention its far to expensive compared to other proteins for general use.

1. Much complete amino acid profile
2. Better bio availability
3. Less side effect profile eg bloating
4. Less carb burden
5. Longer acting
6. More efficient gut absorption

Hope that helps.

Good luck! :smiley:

I went through 4 x 3kg pouches of mint chocolate and didn't have a problem. Just make sure you drink it quickly otherwise it thickens up a lot and is difficult to drink.

Try out optimum nutrition gold standard 100% whey!!! currently on offer at Amazon, deal was posted here!you can have 2.27 kg tube for around £20-£24 and believe me, once you try this you'll never get back to my protein / bulk powders cheap stuff! Have a nice day and big gains guys :-)

​Think the carbs are there to keep you from snacking etc, it's the green tea that's designed for the diet, I always found this one was great as a supplementary breakfast shake because of the added thickness/oats

It tastes worse as well as having more fat, millions more carbs and less protein at a more expensive price

Full of bulky horrible stuff too

I always buy the unflavoured, because strangely I like the taste!

This is good timing as I'm down to the last lot of the previous offer.

I agree with luke.
I bought the latte flavour last time around. It's a little sweet, but mixes well and has the benefit of making your next whizz smell like the shake did.
Heat for making my wee smell like coffee......

Worse for you than the normal ..

This was around £12.50 when posted on here recently picked up a few then. Still not bad for this price.
