I have to admit, I have been rather lax lately about the whey powder, just because of the taste. I have found a couple of ways that it works pretty well. I make these really yummy soft pretzels that are totally GM’d out (someday I will post the recipe – still not perfected) and I add the protein powder to the batter. I also put it in pancake mix and the egg part of french toast and that works really well. I have even added it to soup and sauces (tends to clump like flour would so care is needed). Same as you, I use the unflavored/unaltered stuff and I am pretty sure that it is cow’s milk, although the package doesn’t really say.

I have found other ways to increase my easy to use proteins as well. I put raw nuts/seeds on everything and make sure I have a good protein source with every meal. I even found a grass fed beef farmer at my local farmers market. It is pretty spendy, but I like to treat myself every couple of weeks. I have also really been embracing fish lately and being from Seattle, we have access to the most amazing salmon, which is now a staple in our diet.

I have to say that after several months of doing this, I think about the intricacies a lot less than I did when I wrote this article. It has become such an automatic thing in my life now. But, I also want to thank you for commenting on this article and reminding me how dedicated I was with this when I started out. I think it might be time to recommit myself and pay particular attention to the method and my food for then next couple of weeks. Maybe I can grab a few more good habits in there.

Thanks again and make sure to come back and give us an update on your progress.

I have read Jon’s book recently as well, started his method and am in my 2nd week of changing my food and my life…It all makes so much sense!!! I have lost 5 pounds so far (could not resist hopping on the scale…)without any restraints and I am feeling amazing.
Regarding the whey protein powder: I got myself one without any additives (colours, flavours, artificial sugars etc)yesterday and the taste, if any at all, is pleasant and very subtle, maybe a hint in direction “milky”. So you might want to give it another try with another brand maybe?? Do you use Whey Protein Powder made from sheep or goat milk as recommended in the book? I only know that goat & sheep milk both have quite a strong flavour(which I hate!!), so maybe that kind of flavour is in the powder as well?? My powder is made from cow milk.

I wish you all the best on your way of changing your body and your life!!
Kind regards
Anne
