No protein powder?

[Meta]

I came across a couple of this guy's videos and saw this one where he talks about how protein powder/bars are bad for you and people shouldn't take them. First time I've really heard someone say whey protein is bad for you. I'm all for eating and living a healthy lifestyle, and agree with some of the stuff he says... but at the same time I think this guy is too obsessed with everything being natural and healthy. Just wondering what your guys opinions are on this...

this one is all about Muscle Milk

I'm not sure what my take is.

He pimps some products at the end of the vids...makes you wonder if he's trying to help market something...but he does make some decent points in there also. There were a few things I wished he'd have elaborated on a little more and the one thing he SHOULD have been emphasizing above all things is that protein from real food sources is the most important of all, which he didn't (that's when he ends up pimping those other protein products....). Too tired to think it thru now...maybe more later...

yeah he pimped some products at the end

I've seen him pimp out those same products in a couple other videos

I mean I agree that protein from real food is better... but I think anyone into bodybuilding would agree that whey protein powder is ideal for post-workout... and pretty much a building block for putting on muscle

I stopped at the point he said..

"...whey comes from sick cows, and not healthy cows, so how can something be good for you when it comes from sick cows".

uh, WTF are you talking about. He's an idiot and does not know what he is talking about.

I went back and re-watched and you're exactly right. That comment made no sense whatsoever. I'd love to know how he even begins to support that argument.

Maybe he's been making his own whey powder from Bull's milk....

I thought the same thing when I heard him say that. He is stating something as a fact with nothing backing it up. Who is to say you can't get quality whey protein from a sick cow? If I'm sick does that taint the protein in my body, I don't think so. Dude needs to spend less time waxing his eyebrows and making stupid ass videos on the internet.

This dude went and looked up studies that only proved his point. Then he took information out of context and used that as well. Using that same method I could post and prove damn near anything on the internet (why cardio is bad for you, or why Obama is going to make a good president/is the antichrist, etc). Unfortunately, some retard with a webcam can come off as an expert nowadays if he uses big words and/or quotes studies.

HI mate,yes indeed!

If you over take anything natural or artifcial its bad for you lol. If you work out 3 days a week and are taking 200g of protein a day of course it's going to be bad for you. As you all said this guy is just trying to weaken the opponents products and make his look better.
