PhD Diet Whey Review

Used as a healthy snack between meals or a post-workout protein hit, this great tasting supplement is ideal for anyone looking to burn fat while building/maintaining lean muscle. Another excellent product from PhD Nutrition.

There are a few things in life which I find overwhelmingly mundane.

Washing up, baby photos, the Victorian era (it’s just too long), Hugh Grant, anything by Jane Austen…

Another is dieting.

It’s just so difficult to summon up the enthusiasm to eat couscous and carrots, day in, day out.

It’s comparable to someone confiscating all of your high-def niche pornography and forcing you to rub one out over an old oak tree instead.

It’s just not the same.

Having said that, during my last foray into dieting/cutting/getting spectacularly shredded, there was one oasis of flavour, one meal which I genuinely looked forward to guzzling down each day.

That was PhD Diet Whey .

Product overview

PhD Diet Whey Review

Essentially it acts as a healthy, low-carb snack alternative or a convenient source of protein post-workout.

Per serving, you’re looking at about 35g of protein (whey protein, milk protein concentrate, soya protein isolate), 7g of low GI carbs, and 2g of sugar.

This blend of ingredients helps keep you feeling full throughout the day and should help eliminate those pesky sugar cravings.

PhD Diet Whey also contains added nutrients to help boost fat loss and maximise performance and energy levels, such as green tea, CLA, l-carnitine, waxy vol and flaxseed.

Personally, I’ve never heard of some of those ingredients – they could well be made up:

Marketing Exec 1:   “Paul, how can we make this supplement more appealing?”

Marketing Exec 2:   “Have you tried making up a load of impressive sounding ingredients? They fucking love that.”

Marketing Exec 1: “What about… Waxy Vol?”

Marketing Exec 2:   “Bingo!”

Taste and texture

At the time of writing, PhD Diet Whey is available in five different flavours: vanilla, strawberry, Belgian chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate orange.

I usually opt for the vanilla flavour, which, although quite sweet, tastes tremendous.

So much so I found myself having cravings for it.

The shake mixes well with no lumps in sight, but it is a little grainy, which is apparently due to the flaxseed.

I blended it with semi-skimmed milk (always tastes much, much better than with water) and would often throw in a banana or some other frozen fruit for a great tasting protein shake.

Effectiveness

Over the course of a month, I lost quite a few pounds, ‘leaned up’ considerably, and felt much more energised during training  while using this supplement.

This was alongside three weightlifting sessions and three HIIT  cardio session per week, as well a wholesome low-carb  diet .

Obviously, it’s paramount that you use PhD Diet Whey in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle.

If you just spend all day sitting in your pants, playing Grand Theft Auto and eating Belgian buns, this shake is not going to help you lose weight or gain muscle.

The ‘slow release protein blend’ definitely helped to eliminate any cravings I normally have during the day.

Usually I hoover up every calorie in sight, with an appetite as indiscriminate as it is voracious, but PhD Diet Whey satiated this binge mindset considerably.

On a side note, PhD Diet Whey also digests very well.

Unlike a lot of other protein supplements that I have reviewed , it thankfully doesn’t leave a trail of toxic guff gas lingering behind you all day long.

So if you’re consistently smoking your other half out with volley after volley of noxious protein farts, this supplement should help ease tension in the relationship.

Value for money

The recommended retail price for PhD Diet Whey is usually £30 and £40 for a kilogram, which is a little steep in my opinion.

However, if you shop around online you can normally knock at least £10 off this price, making it much better value for money.

PhD Diet Whey is the ideal supplement for those looking to maintain muscle tissue while cutting down on fat.

It works perfectly as a low calorie snack between meals and/or post-workout protein fix, and helps keep those pesky sugar cravings at bay.

In addition, its great taste helps take the edge off those ineffably mundane diet plans.

All in all, another excellent product from PhD Nutrition.

Highly recommended!

Buy PhD Diet Whey

Typically cheapest place to buy PhD Diet Whey is here at Amazon where it normally goes for well below the recommended retail price.

If you’ve tried PhD Diet Whey and have an opinion on it, I’d love to hear from you.

Just hit me up with your thoughts in the comments section below.

Also, if you happen to find anywhere cheaper than Amazon, please get in touch.

Until then, stay strong and stay shredded!

What do you know about the credentials of the people who make this stuff?

Are they trained pharmacists/physicians or pretending like Dr Dre?

Henry

Not 100% sure, but I doubt they boast any expertise that sets them apart from the multitude of other supplement companies on the market.

They’ve just got a legit sounding brand name which conveys authority.

Just like ‘UK Best Kebab’…

Hey I just read your blog and found it really uplifting.

I’m quite miserable with my weight – I had two babies within 16 months then if things couldn’t get any harder developed gall bladder disease.

Glad you’ve enjoyed it, if there’s anything I can help with please let me know.

You can get it cheaper at dolphinfitness.co.uk.

£32 for a 2kg tub!

I’m seeing it for £37 – regardless that’s still a good price 🙂

Discount Supplements standard price £29.99 for 2 kilos, but wait until end of the month and you get 20-25% off, works out at £12 per kilo.

Thanks, will look out for that.

Hi, I’ve lost a load of weight this year and am now looking to lose the last bit and tone up.

Is this the correct supplement to use if I have it as my post-workout snack?

Yes, PHD Diet Whey should definitely help you tone up and lose weight, provided your diet and training are up to scratch 🙂

Why is the cookies and cream no longer available

' src=

I am a Gym Instructor at a female only gym and with it being the new year have just started a massive health kick.

I have always struggled to find a protein that I enjoy as I hate milkshake and this is all they remind me of!

However I have just started on the Belgium Chocolate PHD Diet Whey and I am so impressed I love it!

I also find myself craving the shakes and I normally have a sweet tooth for chocolate and haven’t touched a single bit since I started on the shakes.

If I have a heavy training day I do not use it as a meal replacement but I use it in-between to stop cravings and snacking and it does exactly that.

I am now currently recommending this product to all my ladies at the gym as it is fantastic!

Great to hear from you!

Haven’t tried the Belgian Choc flavour myself, but will definitely give it a go after reading your comment.

Nice to see you’re getting some good results too 🙂

' src=

I’ve been cycling supplements for years and used to be PHD all the way.

Then I found Optimum Nutrition and never looked back.

But then Diet Whey by PHD was on offer so I bought a couple and I wish I hadn’t.

I found the vanilla flavour one of the worst tasting, bad mixing blends I’ve ever had.

Even worse than the cheap stuff.

Tastes like it has some synthetic thickening agent throughout – yuk.

So back to Optimum Nutrition we go.

Ps. If you head over to PHd-fitness or Monster Supplements you see that PHD win pretty much every award going.

What they don’t mention is that both PHd-fitness & Monster are owned by PHD.

Funny that.

Gotta disagree with your comment about the vanilla flavour.

Personally I find it delicious, but then I guess everyone’s different.

I also love Optimum Nutrition – have you tried their Gold Standard Whey ?

' src=

Definitely agree vanilla flavour tastes awful.

Also, on the back of the pack, it says you have to mix it with ice cold water, I thought I’d give it a try anyway, but it just doesn’t blend unless its either ice cold or straight out of the (very) cold tap.

Just bought PHD Diet Whey from Holland and Barrett.

They’ve got a sale on – 1kg bag £24.99.

Get yourself down there!

Hi Dane, thanks for letting us know!

£14.99/kg now!

Just bought this PHD Diet Whey, have not yet got a diet plan.

I need real help never dieted before and now I’m ready to do so.

Any tips or advice would be great.

Hi Darren, try this article as a starting point, and let us know how you get on!

' src=

Hi, been using PHD Whey Diet for 2 weeks now and love it – white chocolate and strawberry delight my fav.

Using it 4 x a day, 1 scoop in the morning, 1 scoop pre work out (30 mins before), 1 scoop post work out, and 1 scoop before bed (1 hour before).

Holland and Barrett – buy one get one half price.

Hi Louise, thanks for letting us know about that deal.

Good luck with your training!

Hi, I’ve been recommended to try PHD Diet Whey to help shift a bit of extra fat/weight but maintain where I am at the moment (which I am sort of happy with) and the reviews seem good.

I eat fairly healthy, currently cut out processed and junk to help me.

But would I use this as a meal replacement (for 2 meals for example) OR would I continue to eat 3 healthy meals and drink in between as a snack OR use pre-workout and post-workout?

I want to buy this but just no where explicitly says when/what times to use it?

PHD Diet Whey is first and foremost a supplement – that is, something to complement your daily diet as a healthy snack between meals or as a convenient post-workout protein fix.

But it can, by all means, be used as a meal replacement.

However, I wouldn’t make this a habit.

Do it at your discretion and make sure you’re still meeting your daily macros.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions.

' src=

Could you tell me the best times to take this as I’m training at 5am, so would like to know whether to take before or after training?

Hi James, I would use it after the morning workout to help your muscles repair and rebuild.

So long as you have replenished your glycogen stores with carbs the night before you should be fine with little food before your morning workout.

But don’t train completely fasted – I usually have a little snack to help me alleviate hunger.

Also, don’t get too hung up on when to take protein shakes.

Timing isn’t really relevant provided you’re meeting your macros throughout the day.

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any more questions.

' src=

I bought the PHD Belgian Choc flavour which is yummie, gonna try the strawberry flav next.

When I started bootcamp on 7th Jan been drinking it since and in 10 weeks have lost 43lb in weight.

I have 2 a day and one evening meal…

Awesome stuff Michelle, congrats with your weight loss 🙂

GNC PHD Diet Whey, it says buy a 1KG bag and get one for £1, but it actually just knocked £23.59 off the total price.

Not bad though.

32.79 for a 1KG bag.

Got two bags for £41.99.

Better than H&Bs prices anyway.

Hi Karen, thanks for alerting us to that deal. Bargain!

' src=

Just a quick question, I have recently purchased the white choc and vanilla protein and I am looking to get leaner and more toned and lose a bit of fat also.

I have started training 4x a week with cardio and weights.

I am about 5.7 and weigh about 60kg stone but my goal is to tone up and lose fat, do you have any tips on when is best to take protein and how much I should take as I am a bit of an amateur lol?

Hi Georgia, there is no real optimum time to take a protein shake.

Take PhD Diet Whey whenever you like between meals, or as the very occasional MRP, to help you hit your daily macros.

A lot of people will take it straight after a workout as it’s a convenient way to get a quick protein fix to help your muscles repair and recover.

But a regular nutritious meal will also work here too.

' src=

OK, should I use Diet Whey as a substitute meal or a snack?

I’ve been spinning for the past 12 months and have recently started on the weight circuit to try and get a better more toned figure (6 pack abs would be nice).

I really started to see a difference in my body then I started on the white wine.

I drink a bottle of wine a night and as I own a bar, I finish work, come home and open a bottle of wine at midnight, drink it and go to bed.

All the sugars are lying in my stomach, hence I have gained a wine belly and love handles.

I know the wine has to stop for me to lose the flab.

My diet is a small bowl of Special K for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch (always on brown bread), then as a main meal in the evening it’s either salad or veg with either chicken or fish.

So would the Diet Whey be better as a breakfast or lunch substitute and used again after my workout?

Hi Mark, thanks for dropping by.

As you point out, your first goal should definitely be to cut out all that wine, as a bottle a night is definitely doing no favours for that six pack!

I would keep your diet as it is and introduce the PhD Diet Whey twice a day as a snack between meals.

This should top up your daily protein intake to above the RDA which will help with lean muscle gains – provided you are still killing it in the gym!

Good luck – and let me know if you have any more questions!

' src=

What would be the best time during the day to drink this shake?

Considering my aim is to lose fat and a little bit of weight, and I go to the gym 3-4 times a week?

Hi James, it doesn’t really matter what time of the day you take your shake.

Have it between meals or as a quick protein fix post-workout.

As long as you’re meeting your daily macros you will be fine.

' src=

What is the difference between PHD Pharma Whey and PHD Diet Whey?

I’ve never taken Pharma Whey, but it seems to chiefly comprise a protein blend with some added BCAAs and glutamine.

This is essentially a standard protein shake with a few added ingredients to help build muscle.

PHD Diet Whey, on the other hand, is geared towards people who are trying to loose excess weight and get lean, hence the added fat burning ingredients such as Green Tea Extract, CLA, etc.

Hope this helps buddy, good luck with your training and let me know if you have any more questions 🙂

Hiya Henry,

Great review and forum.

I’m 41, 5″10 bloke and weighed 16st 7 5 weeks ago.

Started using static exercise bike for 40mins 6 days a week before work with a mostly natural foods, low carb & fat, high fruit and veg diet.

Weighed today 15st 8.

I am going to start body weight resistance w/outs in the evenings after work, I really don’t want to pay a gym membership so am aiming to do varying push and pull ups, squats and core exercises at home.

I don’t want to bulk up like a bodybuilder but don’t want to lose muscle mass either.

Bought the Vanilla Cream flavour today, haven’t used it yet.

What/how would you suggest to use it to tone up, maybe add a little mass?

My diet plan is:

Breakfast 40g shredded wheat with a handful of blueberries & 125ml almond milk

Lunch is a warburton thin with some wafer thin ham and salad inc tomato and cucumber slices, a golden delicious apple and a satsuma, and possibly a mini baybybel light or a pack of snack a jacks.

Dinner is either grilled chicken breast with salad or grilled Mediterranean veg and some brown rice – or Quorn mince as a healthy bolognanse with some pasta and grilled veg.

Snacks are apples, satsumas, bananas etc.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for the kind words 🙂

Your diet seems fine, no need to change anything there.

You can take Diet Whey between meals as a healthy snack – this protein boost will help with lean muscle gains and the added ingredients should expedite fat loss.

However, from what I can tell, your workouts are what need stepping up a gear.

First of all, drop the steady state cardio and start introducing some high intensity interval training (HIIT) (read more here ).

Not only will these max effort bursts be more conducive to fat loss, they should also be a lot more fun.

So train harder and smarter, keep the diet on-point, BE CONSISTENT, and you should see some good results!

Hope this helps – let me know if you have any more questions!

Quality review… “wanking over trees” … winner!… lol

I use the strawberry delight – tastes the mutts nuts better than bsn syntha-6 and that’s the best tasting up until the Diet Whey, ad mixes well.

I’ve not used with milk as I prefer council juice for my shakes.

Price wise I’m currently paying 14-19 quid a kg depending on what offers are on – I’ve not yet paid more than 19 quid, most of the time it’s 15 quid a kg, just Google for current discount codes.

http://www.discount-supplements.co.uk – delivered within 4 days… free.

I’m not usually a fan of strawberry flavoured shakes, but I’ll be sure to give this one a go in light of your comments!

Best price I’ve found this week goes to Discount Supplements – they have a 3kg tub + 1kg bag for £42.99.

Looking to lose a few pounds and get leaner – 4Kg should do the trick! :p lol

Thanks for the heads up – I’ve bagged a lot of bargains at Discount Supplements, great store!

Good luck with the weight loss buddy.

Just found your site, looking around for the best shakes!

Interested in this PHD thing – like sound of white choc flavour!

I am 5.4 and 106 pounds – my sister’s wedding is 21 June 2014 – is it reasonable to say if I work out every day with beachbody DVDs, 3 times at my gym AND eat sculptress maxitone crunch bar for snacks and breakfast and PHD for lunch with main meal in evening – to lose 1 stone!?

With your experience is that even possible?

Really panicking now… don’t want to take pics looking like fat slob! Pls help!

Any ideas would be really grateful.

To make matters worse I got that ‘big booty’ thing going on complete with huge stomach!

What would you recommend I do?

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

Hi Veronica

I would recommend against using PHD Diet Whey as a meal replacement too often – you’re better off sticking to good, healthy, wholesome food for your nutrients.

You seem like you’re training well – so alongside a good diet PHD Diet Whey should help with your fitness goals.

Good luck with the wedding!

Hello, I have recently started dieting to loose a few pounds.

I don’t do a great deal of working out but I am fairly active, I spend most of my days in work walking around and lifting fairly heavy trays.

I also do a bit of running and hill walking after work.

I want to know if taking PHD Diet Whey will help me loose weight or benefit me at all?

My ultimate goal is to loose about 15lbs but due to a slight disability I struggle to carry out most workouts other than walking.

' src=

My thoughts: if you’re adding in this shake your adding in extra calories, which will gain you weight. Period (if no change in routine).

This is mainly for weight training where you need the high protein intake, but want the various fat burners, and other extras thrown in.

If mainly cardio and walking as you say… I suggest no.

To lose weight cut back calories, and if you want to try the added supplements, get a separate CLA supplement, green tea diet supplement, etc, separate.

This is still a protein supplement as its core. when you meed the extra in diet to hit the heavier needs when lifting heavy.

Flaxseed will actually really help – add to porridge in the am and throw it in foods.

Keep insulin levels low etc but this is for protein – at the end of the day with weight loss as an extra.

It’s not a standalone diet supp bud!

Thanks for chipping in – agree with your comments!

Hi, I wonder if you can help me.

I am currently on Herbalife meal replacement program – I have lost a good deal of weight but the price of the program is killing me!

I went I to Holland and Barrett to see if there is an alternative and the lady suggested PHD Diet Whey.

Scrolling through the comments you have said not to use it as a meal replacement but that’s what the girl in the shop suggested.

Has she given me the wrong advice – and if so what would you suggest as I’m trying to find shakes to replace my current ones 🙂

Hi Sheralea

Firstly, thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment, it’s much appreciated.

Using Phd Diet Whey as an MRP very occasionally for convenience sake is absolutely fine – however, as I’ve said, I 100% wouldn’t advise on making this a habit, as at the end of day it’s a supplement and shouldn’t be substituted for real food.

Herbalife and all MRPs in that vein are simply not a sustainable weight loss option – and they’re certainly not good for you either!

Yes, you may loose weight at first, but that’s because you’re starving your body of calories!

As this is simply not sustainable, you’ll soon revert back to old habits, and pile the weight back on instantly.

Stick to wholesome, nutritious food where possible and use the diet whey as a snack/post-workout shake to top up your daily protein intake for muscle repair and growth.

Provided your diet is on-point and you’re training hard (and smart) in the gym, this supplement, with its protein and added fat loss ingredients, should definitely help you loose weight and lean up.

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any more comments.

Hi, is it true that a chocolate flavoured whey will take the percentage absorbed into the body down by a good 7-10% as opposed to any non chocolate flavours?

Or is this just bull to get the other flavours that don’t sell as much to look more appealing?

It’s nonsense IMHO.

Check the calories as they will vary on flavour.

Chocolate benefit is, well I’m talking about real dark coco, helps reduce stress.

Less stress means less cortisol and we all no what that does (for any newcomers it breaks down muscle and thus wont help fat loss. Opposite.)

But ‘chocolate’ here won’t be that anyway.

I find it tastes bad.

I would prefer it without the sweetener, but that’s mad talk, it’s flavouring.

So, yeah, if that’s pushed, possible sales jargon.

Noted the ones always on mega sale are always the bad flavours when it comes to protein bars.

The real fat burners are your legs bro.

Go work them out – right now.

Stop missing leg day, you know I’m right.

Hi John, that’s a crock of fucking shite.

Been on Cyclone for 7 months and had some really excellent gains from that (as well as clean eating and hard lifting 5 days a week).

Read your Cyclone review which I found helpful.

Anyway with Cyclone it’s quite high in calories.

Decided to go for PhD Whey Diet… 37 quid for 2kg tub from Amazon.

And noted you done another top review after!

They are always a good read.

Anyway I noticed:

1) Coming off Cyclone (laced with insulin spiking Dextrose) to this I find the taste of Belgium chocolate revolting. OK granted, no sugar, but it’s thick, sticky, full of sweeteners.

Belgium chocolate? More like Uzbekisthan chocolate… after its been rubbed on someone’s armpit… the smell also.

2) I have to use 600ml of water (double suggested) to get the 2 scoops shaken in, then it’s like swallowing goop.

My routine post workout is banging my shaker on the wall to try and mix it.

OK, I can do it, I can drink it… man up… but man it’s hard vs Cyclone chocolate, a little chocolate treat vs this, armpit tasting.

Anyway saving cash given no need for any green tea or cla etc.

I’m used to heavy dextrose so many may not be.

It beats a protein I brought in the USA that made me vomit in my mouth once.

3) Use of the word ‘whey’ is … well interesting given it is heavy in slow releasing caesin and soy proteins… not exactly whey isolate, but I get it, slow release for meal replacement and slower sustained catabolic protection (vs Cyclone smash to your senses roooaaarrr).

This is more slow burn protein release sustained yadda yadda.

But boring right… 6 meals a day… I want glucose post workout not flaxseed…

Calories are however way down on the change.

It’s working, but I wont stay on this, I think there is better on the market (or just go with a true whey isolate and pasteurised egg white mix).

It’s saying something but I would take egg whites over this shake flavour.

But keep the reviews and feedback coming.

Bro love in the room, happy growing all!

Thanks for the kind – and entertaining – comments!

I have to say I’ve never had an issue with the taste of PHD Diet Whey (it’s great IMO), but then again I’ve had some truly awful tasting shakes in my time – the kind that make Pete Doherty’s ballsack taste like something rustled up by Heston Blumenthal…

I’m considering buying this to help with weight loss and toning but I was wondering if there’s any exercises you’d recommend for loosing stomach and thigh fat?

What I’ve been doing hasn’t made much of a difference.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your comment.

Try introducing some HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) into your workouts – a much more effective way of losing body fat than LISS (Low Intensity Steady State Cardio).

Good luck – and do let me know if you have any more questions!

I have just got this product and have started to use it over the last week.

If I am doing 3/4 weight sessions a week and 3 cardio based sessions such as swimming, then just wondering when is best to take this shake and which days?

Should I be taking it on cardio session days as well or just weight training days?

Someone said to me to take one shake every morning including any rest days, and take a second shake post workout on weight days.

Is this correct?

It’s a good idea to take a shake post-workout (whether that’s cardio or weight training) as this provides a quick, convenient protein fix which well help your muscles repair and recover.

Other than that, don’t get too hung up on when to take your shake, as the timing is not that important.

Use it as a snack between meals – or as the occasional MRP – to top up your daily protein intake.

Hope that helps – let me know if you have any more questions!

I don’t know what is the best place to buy PhD?

I found some good deals on eBay but I am not sure if that is genuine dealers or no, the dealer name is phdfitness which is based in Hull?

I don’t have much experience buying from eBay, but I’m sure if the seller has positive feedback you should be fine.

Have you tried Amazon?

That’s usually where I find the best deals.

Just got some 1kg of this in white chocolate and am just not sure about when the best time to consume this is, should I have it early morning, lunch time or before my workout?

My workouts are normally late afternoon/evening.

Monday – Soccer Training Tuesday – gym session (dumbbells and cardio) Wednesday – Soccer Training Thursday – Circuit Training Saturday – Soccer Training Sunday – gym session (dumbbell and cardio)

I would take a shake after your workout for a quick, convenient protein fix and once or twice throughout the day between meals.

As I’ve said before, don’t get too hung up on what time of day to take the supplement, look at the bigger picture and your daily protein intake.

Hope that helps – and let me know if you have any more questions!

I currently take Myprotein whey isolate but I am looking to purchase something else so am seriously considering PHD diet whey.

I noticed it contains CLA and l-carnitine.

I currently take these two supplements in the forms of capsules 3 x a day.

If I have PHD diet whey post workout (3 shakes per week after lifting) am I still able to supplement CLA and l-carnitine daily?

First off, why are you thinking of changing supplements?

If it’s because of taste or price, that’s fine, but if it’s down to lack of results I would suggest taking a closer look at your diet and training plan.

PHD Diet Whey is basically just a whey protein shake with added fat loss ingredients, which it seems that you are already supplementing your diet with?

' src=

Hi, I’m 38 and weigh 13st 5lb, and have a stomach that needs to go.

I have been using PHD Diet Whey for 3 days now and it tastes pretty good, it’s the first time I’ve tried anything like this so my body is just getting used to it.

I have a few questions that I hope you can help with, now what I’m about to say is not an excuse but I honestly don’t get a lot of time to go to the gym, I work as a prison officer so am on my feet from 0500-2130 when my gym is closed until I get home and I do this 4 days a week.

My shifts vary which is a nightmare to stick to any type of routine and sometimes don’t get to eat at all, which is why I’ve started to do this shake thing so at least I’m getting something good into my body.

So at the moment I’m having a shake in the morning, a lunch time meal, and shake when I get home, the only reason I have a shake when I get home is that it’s really too late in the evening to eat as I would go to bed with all the shitty food laying on my stomach.

Based on this info is it OK to do what I’m doing or is just going to do more harm than good to my body?

When I’m working nights (every 3 weeks) I have started to use the gym at work, but during my day shifts it’s impossible to use.

Could you advise on what I should do in the gym as I’m probably doing it all wrong, sorry for the long message but really need help.

Thank you very much.

Hi Kevin, thanks for your comment.

I know this is probably not the advice that you want to hear, but if you’re not getting much exercise into your routine, then using protein supplements is only going to add calories to your diet, not to mention throwing money away.

You’re better off eating wholesome meals and, when in the gym on those rare occasions, making the most of your time by employing full body routines comprising the main compound lifts (bench, deadlift, squat) – don’t waste time with pointless isolation exercises.

Hi, first off… great review!

I’m 38 and my current weight is 10st 12lbs.

My goal is to try and lose some belly fat and tone up my arms and chest (moobs!).

I have been using PhD Diet Whey for a week now and am enjoying using it along with having healthy meals and exercise 5 times a week.

I am a complete novice to diets and exercise so my question is am I going about things the right way?

My typical routine is this….

Breakfast: PhD Diet Whey shake, to which I add a choice/mix of any of the following… fat free Greek yogurt, low fat coconut milk, squeezed grapefruit, blueberries, raspberries, kale, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon.

Lunch: Egg white omelette with turkey, spinach and sprinkle of cayenne pepper/carrot and lentil soup with wholemeal bread, apple or fat free bio yoghurt.

Snack: Handful mixed nuts/apple

Dinner: Wholemeal pasta with chicken and brocolli/jacket potato with tuna salad/Quorn veg chilli with wholemeal rice/baked fish with veg and pots etc… followed by fat free greek style yoghurt with nut granola and raspberries

Late snack: Post workout PhD Diet shake

I have been doing a 25 min high intensity kick boxing cardio workout 3-4 times a week and upper body resistance band exercises twice a week.

So should I be ok with this or should I be doing things differently for better results?

Many thanks 😉

Hi Stuart, thanks for your comment!

That’s an excellent program – I would definitely expect you to see results from it provided you are consistent with everything.

The only change I would make is to up the intensity of the resistance work – adding in some full body workouts comprising squat/deadlift/bench should accelerate gains nicely.

Good luck buddy – let me know how it goes!

I’ve just purchased the Belgian chocolate flavour diet whey and it is lush!

I’m near the end of the insanity programme and although I’m a lot fitter, sadly I have had no changes on trying to lose my belly.

Any advice on diet, exercise and diet whey would be very much appreciated.

I’m 4ft 10 and approx 6 and a half stone.

Just need to lose my belly after having kids.

I’m not familiar with the Insanity workout – but, like I prescribe for anyone trying to tone up and loose weight, any regime comprising compound exercises with HIIT should do the trick.

If you’re consistent with this routine and are still not seeing results, then you’re problem, I presume, lies with your diet.

No routine – no matter how taxing – can out-train a poor diet.

Apart from the obvious, make sure you are consistently sticking to unprocessed foods and avoiding high glycemic foods and starchy/sugary carbs.

Hope that helps – let me know if you have any more questions 🙂

Hi, I would like to get some help please.

I have just got the Diet Whey and I am woudering if it helps people loose weight who are overweight?

If you are aiming to loose weight and tone up, then yes, Phd Diet Whey, as a dietary supplement, can help with your goals.

However, as I’ve said many times before on this comments thread, it is not a magic pill.

Above everything else, you need to bee putting in the hours in the gym and adhering to a disciplined diet.

Then, and only then, will you see results.

If you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to ask 🙂

' src=

Hi, I’ve just bought the Diet Whey shake.

What sort off food would be good to use for evening meals to loose weight please?

I’d like to loose 2 stone and really tone up.

You can never go wrong with natural, unprocessed foods and lots of fruit and veg.

Also, as I’ve mentioned above, try and avoid starchy, high glycemic foods, as these will soon send unwanted weight to your waistline if you’re not burning it off.

And remember to avoid junk food and alcohol as much as possible!

Let me know if you have any more questions 🙂

' src=

I can pick it up locally for 2×500 for £20 or a 1kg tub for £21.

Now you can’t beat that and I am getting really good results from this!

Great to hear you’re getting results Paul – let me know if you have any questions!

I’m a very petite girl, I am 5 ft one weighing 7 stone 5.

I am not all bone but just a just right average figure, I want to really tone my abs up!

I am very much a gym freak!

I go every day doing diff stuff from interval training on the treadmill, spinning, cross trainer or general running outside.

I do 10-20 min abs a day.

If time is on my side I’ll do dumbbell workout too, usually two-three times a week.

I eat healthy, and have my one cheat day a week where I go crazy!

This doesn’t effect me and keeps me on track and motivated!

I sit in the bike in the gym thinking about Saturday nights pizza and chocolate brownie!!!

Sounds like you’re absolutely smashing it in the gym – great job 🙂

You’ve got my stomach rumbling with all this talk of cheat meals…

Oh my whole comment didn’t show or the question haha!

Basically with all the gym and how much I do weights (not everyday) would this protein be right for me?

I am worried I’ll gain weight, and can I take this as a pre-workout drink as my job is hard and that’s all I can do at times.

Increasing protein intake will help your muscles repair/recover after exercise – so supplementing a healthy diet with something like PHD Diet Whey will help you with your goals.

As I’ve mentioned above in the comments, just remember this is a supplement and you should really avoid using it as an MRP.

Make sure you are filling your diet with lots of whole foods, complex carbs, fruit and veg, etc – and use this diet whey as a snack between meals and post-workout for refueling.

Regarding your last question, this is not a pre-workout supplement – if you’re looking for something to perk you up before exercise I would simply recommend good old caffeine.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi, I started the gym last week.

I’m a student nurse so get a lot of stress and would drink 3-4 nights a week.

Well I have started the gym:

I go Mon, Wed, Fri at 6.30am for an hour workout:

30 mins interval style cardiovascular 5 mins on bike as warm up plus stretches 10 min speed interval on treadmill 5 min row machine, 15 min speed interval x trainer

I then do resistance/strength training on push/pull/core and leg muscles.

There’s 8 resistance style machines in use to work my whole body

10 squats x 3 Push up ups 3 x 4 reps Ab crunch with a ball 10 x 3

I was recommended to use a Whey Diet as I’m 16 stone OMG!!

Is it a good idea to take it as I have cut alcohol and added sugars etc out of my diet?

Upped my fibre and protien intake and reduced my carbs and sugars.

Hi Lin, thanks for your comment.

From a cardio perspective your routine looks great – lots of high intensity intervals, which is the most efficient way to get fit and loose weight.

With regards to your weightlifting/resistance routine, I would cut out using the machines altogether and just focus on compound, free weight exercises instead (squat, deadlift, dips, pull ups, bench press, etc).

This will hit so many more muscle groups so much more effectively – yes, you will be working harder, but your workout will be much more time efficient, cutting out all the unnecessary exercises.

Accompany this excellent weekly routine with lots of whole foods and PHD Diet Whey to help with protein intake/recovery, and you’ll be well on the way to smashing your goals 🙂

Let me know if you need any more advice.

' src=

I’m thinking about starting to use PhD Diet Whey – could I use this as a meal supplement as in just have this instead of meals?

If not any advice you can give?

I would definitely recommend AGAINST using a whey shake such as this as a meal replacement.

This is a supplement and should be used as such – i.e. as a healthy snack between meals or to quickly refuel post-workout.

Eat healthy, wholesome food and supplement where appropriate for a little help with reaching your goals.

By all means use PHD Diet Whey as the very occasional MRP when eating a meal is not possible, but avoid this as much as possible.

Hi, my name’s Gill.

I’m young 34 lol I weigh 10 stone & I’m 5ft 10inch.

I workout 6 days a week from 7.30am until bout 11am.

My workouts are a mixture of 1hr cardio, weight training & squats, pulley squats, etc.

I have currently started on Matrix Diet Whey shakes, usually have 1 on route jogging to gym in the morning & 1 after I jog home.

Do you think I should be having more?

I have a healthy clean diet too… advice plz

Two shakes per day in addition to regular, high-protein meals is more than enough.

If you’re looking to build lean muscle, then, as a guide, you should be aiming for 1.5 grams of protein per lb of goal body weight.

Hope that helps – let me know if you need any more guidance.

Hi, I’ve got an under active thyroid, can I use this to help me loose weight as I go running, spinning, weight lifting.

I’m 5ft 4 in, currently 12 stone, being trying hard to shift weight since Jan, couldn’t quite understand why I was gaining weight, and am up 12 stone from 10st 9lbs, then realised my problem .

Unfortunately an underactive thyroid can make it very difficult to loose weight.

From conversations I’ve had with others suffering from hypothyroidism, the paleo/caveman diets can be very effective.

More information here:

http://www.gym-talk.com/living-primal-paleo-insights-with-ben-law/

So before messing around with protein shakes, I would give this approach a go and see how you find it.

' src=

I’m doing my workouts every morning before my oatmeal breakfast after a cup of black coffee, and fasted cardio once a week, and also my eating habit is completely vegetarian.

I bought Diet Whey today and my question is, should I keep eating my snacks as an apple and drink the protein as well?

Or skip the snacks as fruits and drink the protein?

Don’t skip anything – use PHD Diet Whey as a supplement to what you’re eating already.

' src=

I’m currently in the gym mixing weights with cardio, been at it 3 months now, I do 35/40 mins per day and so far all natural.

I’ve noticed a great change in my shape.

I’m now looking to build lean muscle rather than bulk – so more defined/toned than bulky.

What’s my best option now with a supplement to enhance growth/performance?

Thank you so much for you help,

If your goal is to get lean and ‘ripped’, then your diet will be the biggest contributing factor (alongside, ideally, a routine comprising compound lifts and HIIT).

As a rough guide, ensure you are consuming approximately 1.5g protein per bodyweight pound and gradually dial down your carb intake, especially High GI and starchy carbs, while making sure you are consuming lots of healthy fats.

Supplement-wise, go for any whey protein shake which will help you top up your daily protein intake.

Also, something like PHD Diet Whey – which has added ingredients to expedite fat loss (CLA, green tea extract, etc) – would be helpful.

Tick all these boxes, rest and sleep well, be consistent, and you will reach your goals.

' src=

I’m a 20 stone 38 year old, a little loss isn’t what I’m after.

I’ve just joined a gym but have no idea where to start nutrition wise.

Obviously I’ve cut out the bad stuff but what would you recommend as a starting point?

Using the PhD diet whey?

My issue is that all the websites etc to help people get fit focus on toning up a little or getting rock hard abs etc whereas I need to start from the basics and there seems less advice for this.

Where do you suggest I start?

If you’re looking to build a healthy, athletic physique, I would start by increasing your protein intake.

As a guide, aim to consume, per day, 1.5g of protein per lb of body weight.

Whole foods like chicken, turkey, beef, eggs, fish are ideal – and by all means supplement with a whey protein shake between meals to help you hit this target.

Also make sure you are consuming lots of healthy fats (Omega-3s from fish etc) – aim for about 0.5g per lb of body weight.

Carbs are a less important nutrient – indeed there are not, in fact, any essential carbs.

Where possible stick with complex carbs such as oats, wholewheat pasta, rice, vegetables and gradually dial down your carb intake from about 1.5g per lb of body weight to 0.5g over the course of 4-6 weeks.

The important thing here is to gradually lower carb intake – if you suddenly drop carbs altogether your body will go into emergency mode and put it’s most vital stores on “lockdown”.

And, as fat protects the body’s vital organs, hanging onto fat stores becomes a foremost priority!

So, to summarise, consistently consume good quality protein and fats (avoid anything that’s been processed) while gradually lowering carb intake – and eat your greens!

This will maintain lean muscle while losing body fat.

Hope that helps as a starting point!

Thanks Henry, really appreciate the advice.

In terms of gym training what do you suggest?

I’ve read a lot about HIIT but so far have just been doing work on the treadmill with cycling and some basic weights to get me started but not sure whether the HIIT road would be better.

Any suggestions bearing in mind I’m new to all this 🙂

Unless you are training for an endurance race or genuinely enjoy steady-state cardio (there are some that like nothing better than a long steady run, me included!), then I would prescribe a strict diet of interval training, as it is the quickest, most efficient way to get fit and burn fat.

We’re talking hill sprints, track sprints, boxing, spinning, etc, etc.

Combine this with a weightlifting routine solely comprising the basic compound lifts (squat, deadlift, pull-ups, rows, dips, bench), as these are the only exercises you will ever need to build muscle and strength.

As a starting point, I would recommend a beginner friendly routine such as:

http://www.gym-talk.com/arnold-schwarzeneggers-golden-six-routine/

http://www.gym-talk.com/reg-park-beginner-routine/

http://www.gym-talk.com/stronglifts-5×5/

I work in IT so basically sit on my fat arse fixing computer problems.

Decided to try this out, I am a regular gym goer and do decent amount of cardio by playing squash as well as gym every week.

It’s been one day so am hoping after few weeks I notice a difference.

What should I be doing the gym in addition to playing squash and having this shake?

In the gym you should exclusively focus on the main compound lifts – squat, deadlift, bench press, pull-ups, dips, rows.

These are the most efficient exercises and the only ones you will ever need to build muscle.

Forget about isolation and ‘vanity’ exercises, such as curls, lateral raises, and all those other gym rat favourites, as you will simply be wasting your time.

In addition, if your goal is to get lean, I would add in some more high intensity cardio sessions a few times per week, such as sprinting or boxing, in addition to playing squash.

This should help – but let me know if you have any more questions.

I tried a Herbalife shake for a 3 day trial, but found the reps way too obsessive about super exercise and clean eating.

I go to spin every lunchtime during the week and do park runs at the weekend with bike ride.

Am now aiming for 2 full body strength training sessions to compliment.

I need to lose about 3 stone, and thought this might work as a half meal replacement for breakfast, adding in a few almonds and banana.

I’ve had the strawberry which I liked and then bought the Cherry Bakewell and Belgian Chocolate.

The cherry is very thick and I used about 300mls of water… the chocolate is better, though strawberry is still my favourite.

I bought from Monster but will try to get it cheaper elsewhere… loved your review.

Incidentally, I have IBS and found that the Flaxseeds in this help tremendously… I was a little worried as in the past they made things worse.

Hi Heather, thanks for your comment.

With all that cardio and strength training, I should think your bang on track to some excellent results!

Let me know if you need any help or have any questions 🙂

I’ve been using the PHD whey bars as recommended to me, I was just wondering what your thoughts on them were please?

Would I be better off with the powder or carry on with the bars?

I’m doing exercise 5 days a week, including kickboxing, interval training, squash and weights/gym.

Thank you in advance.

As far as I’m aware, there’s not really much difference in content between the shake and the bars.

Bars are great for convenience, but it’s much more cost-effective to use shakes.

Let me know if you have any other queries.

Hi Lucy, thanks for letting us know, a real bargain!

' src=

I’ll make the point first that I am definitely no gym buff or diet expert.

However, I have been using the Belgian Chocolate one since Jan 2015 and it is fantastic.

I use it soley for a post-workout protein boost, but I find this is one of the best supplements I have tried.

Taste and texture are phenomenal.

It tastes like a chocolate milkshake – tip, for a very filling boost on the go, throw some frozen vanilla yoghurt in there and blend (tastes like a McDonalds choc milkshake).

I also take PhD L-Carnitine and PhD StimFree Weight Management supplements, but this is only recent.

I attend the gym 3 times a week and I have lost (and kept off) 2 stone since March.

This is not a fad fat burner or diet plan, this is a lifestyle change.

The shake helps keep those cravings at bay, and used with skimmed milk is a healthy alt to a sugary snack.

I have found, though I am no expert, that this shake works best alongside HIIT training 3 times a week and general weight training 2-3 times a week.

Ive actually just recommended my partner to the PhD women’s stuff.

Now, as far as I know, PhD is studied by an R&D team as normal, and is endorsed by some randoms from Towie or Chelsea or something.

But it is by far the best on the market for dieting and trimming down and before I started it I had a friend who has a MSc in Health Nutrional Science look at it and asked my Doctor.

Plus it was recommended to me by every trainer in my gym.

It can be steep, but in comparison it wipes the floor and is well worth it.

Buy small then buy in bulk when happy.

Finally, I would say, everything I have tried of PhD is top standard, and I have tried things like Grenade, Myprotein and other protein supplements.

Hi Dan, thanks for your comment – glad to see you’re getting some awesome results!

' src=

I was told that if you use milk instead of water that’s just adding fat?

If you’re trying to cut down your fat/calorie intake, just used skimmed milk or water, it’ll still taste great!

' src=

Hey, I just wanted your advice, currently have a whopping 7 stone to lose, I have cut my carb intake down and have just ordered PHD shakes in vanilla and just wanted to see if what I am doing with cardio and weights is even right and OK?

Monday – spinning Tuesday – in the gym squats, cross trainer, treadmill (1 hour) or spin Wed – kettlecide Thursday – spin Friday – insanity training (sometimes have missed this) Sat – Spin

Any help or tips would be fab, as I’m really determined and will literally take anything on board to achieve my goals xx

For you gym session, I would forgo the steady state cardio (cross trainer/treadmill) and factor in some more compound lifts, such as deadlift, dips, chin-ups, rows, overhead press, bench press, etc.

These exercises will give you a much better bang for your buck when it comes to building lean muscle and burning calories.

Other than that, provided your are consistent with your diet and training, you should see some great results with this regimen!

Hi this product sounds great!

I’m looking to lose fat/weight but keep my muscle and lean out.

I’ve been told if I want to lose weight I need to burn more calories than I digest so would this be good as a meal replacement (e.g. breakfast) AND after a workout as I workout about 5/6 times a week.

Personally, I would never recommend a using a protein shake as a regular meal replacement.

Instead, focus on getting all of your nutrients from real, wholesome food and supplement with a protein shake between meals to boost your daily protein intake, which is key to building lean muscle.

This, IMO, is a much healthier and sustainable approach.

Let me know if you have any more questions – and good luck with your goals!

I would like to ask if I could take PHD Diet Whey while I breast feed.

' src=

I would like to know if this product would work without exercise as I’ve got ME.

I eat healthy and do more than I can work, but need to lose a bit of weight.

Hi Sam, if you’re not exercising, then supplementing your diet is just going to add calories, and I would certainly never suggest replacing your meals with a shake as it simply isn’t sustainable long term.

Just focus on eating healthy, wholesome meals.

Old thread I know.

However I have been through all of the PHD diet whey flavours.

Strawberry is good, Belgium Chocolate brilliant, Mint Chocolate (fantastic), chocolate orange, not bad but got sick of it after 4 shakes.

Vanilla is awesome, Chocolate Peanut, hate it, it tastes of coffee, white chocolate is terrible.

Banana is nice, Cherry Bakewell is fantastic.

Best flavours: Cherry Bakewell, Belgium Chocolate, Mint chocolate.

I make flapjack/protein bars with it.

I am currently on a low carb diet, I take two PHD Diet whey shakes a day, as well as two low carb meals.

PHD diet whey is like having a gastric band fitted, stops me eating rubbish.

I am 43, menopausal, I lost nine stone, put on 21lb back, shifted most of it thanks to PHD diet whey, along with weight training three times week, running twice and eating properly.

You can buy it on Amazon for £16-£18 for 1Kg bag.

I have a cupboard with my four favourite flavours, and change flavours every time.

Hi Gail, thanks for your comment!

I haven’t tried all of the flavours, so I’ll consider your ratings when I put in my next order!

I’ve been going to the gym for a year four times per week.

The gym instructor told me that I should increase my protein intake, at least two scoops per day, if I want to lean my abs.

Is that the right amount?

I weigh 92kg, height is 1.83mt.

I found this deal online but I don’t know if it is worthy.

https://www.nutricentre.com/c-1368-phd-better-than-half-price.aspx

You need to look at your daily protein intake – not how many scoops per day.

Daily, I typically recommend 1.5kg of protein per pound of bodyweight.

So use whey protein as a supplement to help you hit this daily target.

Hi, you alright Henry?

Just need a little advice, I’m in a profession where I’m sitting down for about on average 7 hours a day 7 days a week in a car.

I’m in good shape but could do with losing a little bit of fat, therefore I’m eating healthy, roughly three meals a day:

• Morning – three boiled eggs and two toast. • Afternoon – brown rice, salmon, two boiled egg and salad. • Evening – maybe chicken and veg.

I normally take a protein shake after I train, weight training days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and occasionally Sunday.

Wednesday I play football so I count that as my cardio.

Roughly try and work each muscle twice a week.

Also I train in the evening after being sat all day.

I can see that my metabolism has started to slow down a little and therefore want to keep in top shape.

What else could I possibly do to trim down but at the same time gain lean muscle (size)?

• Age – 23 • Height – 5’9 • Weight – 10 st

Hi Jazzy, thanks for your comment.

Your diet seems completely on-point – provided you aren’t sneaking any sneaky sugary snacks in there!.

So, for starters, I would simply try upping the intensity of your workouts to get more bang for your buck.

Time to shock the hell out of your body!

For example, you could try: high-rep squats, prowler pushes, barbell complexes, farmer’s walks, heavy kettlebell swings.

These exercises should take you well out of your comfort zone and have you begging for mercy!

Give them a go and let us know hoe you get on!

I have recently started my PHD Synergy tub which I take post-workout only, being around 20:00 in the evening.

I go to bed around 23:00-00:00 every day and I noticed I have problems falling asleep and also don’t go into “deep” sleep during the night from the day I started this.

(I have taken 2-3 different days until now.)

I am wondering if any other people experienced this in the past?

Is it possible to be affected by the taurine included in the supplement keeping me alert and not falling asleep?

I can see on the tub that this supplement is recommended as post-workout but of course do not know how much time before bed time that would be!

Thanks Nemos

I don’t have any experience with PHD Synergy myself, but, far from disrupting your sleep, the added zinc and magnesium (much like ZMA supplements) should actually improve your sleep (or so the boffins tell us).

However, as with all ingredients of this ilk, and taurine, everybody responds differently, so I would advise listening to your body and to stop taking the supplement in the evenings.

' src=

I have just bought this product but not sure if I should take it.

As I cannot excersise due to ill health and I also take xenical fat binders along with carbblocker.

What do you think?

If you’re not exercising then supplementing is only going to add calories to your diet, so I would not recommend this product – nor as a meal replacement either.

Focus on getting everything you need from regular healthy meals.

phd diet whey for weight loss

Hi, I know this post is pretty old now but just wanted to let you all know that I’ve just bought some in the Holland & Barrett penny sale, bought one lot and got the second for a penny… bargain.

I bought this because I’ve recently become vegetarian but struggling to stay awake, having to sleep in the day time which is very unusual for me.

I’m also anaemic so this new diet isn’t helping that much.

I need the protein that this offers to keep my energy levels up and I’m about to take up running and am in training for Race for Life (if my energy levels increase).

I wasn’t sure about this product but after reading your far-too-hilarious review, I’m feeling really hopeful now, so thanks for the tips, especially the milk one as wasn’t looking forward to mixing it with water!

Thanks for your comment Emma – and good luck with your race!

If ever you have any questions just get in touch 🙂

' src=

I’m approx 74kg, 5’7″, 40 yrs old, am eating five to six times a day and protein intake is around 150-170g per day.

My aim is to build muscle, I’m working on a four day split training sessions.

I am taking Phd Diet Whey just one shake daily straight after working out.

I am also doing around 20 mins bag work per day four to five days a week.

Will I build muscle and lose body fat with this regime?

All advice very welcome.

If you are consistent and don’t fall off the wagon then, yes, you will see results with this regimen.

Remember that strong muscular physiques are built over years not weeks or months, so please be patient.

But if you keep at it, you’ll be rewarded, I promise.

One important caveat, however, is that while a split routine will yield initial results (“newbie gains”), they are, in the long term, far inferior to full-body routines which have you hitting the main compound lifts multiple times per week, allowing you to progress much more efficiently in terms of size and strength.

Check out out some of our workout reviews for more info – and do let me know if you have any further questions.

I’ve just brought 2kg Phd Diet Whey from Costco for about £28 with a free shaker.

Bit gutted cos I brought a 1kg £32 from Holland & Barrett the day before.

I’ve only just started using it as I’ve put a lot of weight on due to medication for depression and bipolar.

I go to the gym every day, I do 1 hour plus cardiovascular and about 3/4 hr doing weights.

Hopefully in a few weeks I will start to notice a change in my weight and muscle mass.

If there’s any advice for me it would be much appreciated.

Also do you think I should take the Diet Whey before I go to the gym?

Hi Richard, thanks for stopping by.

The advice I would give to you is to make sure you’re getting the most from each workout and not just spinning wheels.

Cardio-wise, make sure you’re focusing on high intensity interval work (sprints, bag work, etc) which is much more effective at expediting fat lass and also more time-efficient.

With lifting weights, make sure you’re focusing on the main compound lifts (squat, deadlift, bench press, rows, dips, pull ups, etc) as they will give you much more bang for your buck in terms of strength and muscle gain – and will also burn more calories and help with fat loss.

Also remember that less is sometimes more.

Three decent sessions per week (with lots of time to rest and recover) will, long term, be much more effective than seven mediocre sessions every week.

Also, working out less will leave you more motivated to get back in the gym and you’ll probably enjoy your workouts a lot more.

Hope that helps – and let me know if you have any further questions 🙂

All the best with your training!

Hi I’m training for a triathlon so I am doing a lot of cardio but pushing myself hard but also doing a small amount of weights.

Should I be taking the Diet Whey as I would like to shift some more pounds?

Yes, any protein supplement will help with a strenuous regimen such as yours, as it’s an absolutely vital macro-nutrient for maintaining a healthy/fit body.

If your goal is also to loose some extra weight, then I would absolutely recommend PHD Diet Whey, as it has a heap of extra ingredients to expedite fat loss.

Which flavour tastes better then all?

Vanilla is the tastiest IMO

' src=

Can I take it 2 times a day?

Like for snacks after breakfast and before bed?

Or 1 time per day is enough?

As many as is necessary really.

Try to think in terms of meeting your daily quotient, which should be around 1 to 1.5g of protein per pound of bodyweight.

Hi, I’ve been taking the vanilla flavoured Diet Whey in a smoothie along with 2 bananas and coffee every morning for breakfast for over a year now.

It keeps my bowel regular after I had a bowel op over 2 years ago.

I look forward to taking it and miss it if I don’t have it.

I occasionally swap the bananas for blueberries omitting the coffee.

I’m 66 years old so the only exercise I do is walking but I’m always busy during the day.

Should I be doing more ?

I would always recommend more exercise – but if you’re doing as much as you can and eating well, then that is absolutely fine.

What do you know about the PhD meal replacement powder is that any good/good idea?

Or is it better to take the Diet Whey between meals as you previously recommend rather than replacing an entire meal with it?

I would always advise against relying on meal replacement shakes to lose weight.

They’re not a sustainable option and starve your body of essential calories/nutrients, which, more often than not, will send your body into an “emergency state” where it clings on to body fat instead of burning it.

Instead, take a protein shake, such as this one, between meals to get your daily protein intake to around 1 to 1.5g per pound of bodyweight.

Have just started my gym a month ago and used to earlier have my routine running and excercise.

Now I wish to go for good muscular body, I’m aged 27 years and weight is 88kg with 6 feet height.

Would like to know with your experience which PHD protein – should I opt for it to grow my muscles better and more strengthening?

Hi Dilawar.

Certainly – I would always recommend supplementing a diet with protein if your goal is to gain muscle.

' src=

Last year I lost 4 stone.

I walk at least 15k steps a day & count calories.

I’ve just started back doing work out DVDs yesterday.

30 Day Shred.

I’m 29, female & 10st 2, 5’6″.

I won’t be able to do the DVDs everyday, but I will be walking everyday.

I’m weaker now due to no strength training during weight loss.

I want to get my strength back, but not bulk up.

I need to lose sagging skin.

Is PhD for me?

Please & thanks

You need to engage in resistance/weight training – otherwise supplementing with a protein shake will not help build muscle.

Just purchased these shakes as a kind of kick start.

I have food issues, and believe me when I say I have tried every single ‘diet’ out there, and now after not being a club member of anywhere I am now heavier than when I gave birth to my daughter and my mind is a mess.

I don’t want to replace meals long term, just the odd one here or there or even replacing snacks and being more mindful of my eating and drinking overall.

I noticed on an earlier question you mentioned if replacing meals too often your body effectively shuts down and goes into shock.

My question is as someone who is fast approaching 40, what is a recommended amount of calories to be taking onboard?

Currently I exercise by skating 2/3 times a week and the odd gym session with weights when I have time.

There is so much info out there and my poor head is filled with so much misinformation on nutrition.

I’m desperate to get out of this awful cycle.

Personally, I would advise not getting too hung up on calorie counting or sticking to diets.

Just keep it simple – have three wholesome meals a day with lots of meat, poultry, fish, fruit and veg.

Avoid snacking on rubbish, drink lots of water, exercise regularly, and get 8-9 hours sleep every night.

It’s really as simple as that – you just need to be consistent!

I’ve just bought PhD Diet Whey (Belgian Chocolate flavour) to help me get a protein rich start to my day when I’m short on time.

Tried it for the first time today and not liking how sweet it tastes.

Any suggestions on how to cut the sweetness?

Add more milk/water to dilute it further.

Failing that, try a different flavour.

' src=

I’ve just picked up some of this stuff, haven’t tried it yet.

My question to you sir is this –

In times of desperation, what exactly is wrong with masturbating over trees?

Is there a law against it or is it simply frowned upon?

Many thanks

If you’re going to do it, at least choose something elegant like a Cherry Blossom or a mighty Oak.

' src=

It sells in Cosco with a shaker for £30 no vat.

Gotta love Cosco!

' src=

It’s been 2 days since I’ve started this protein shake.

I took the vanilla flavour as this was recommended.

It tastes amazing.

By the way I would like your opinion about my meals.

Breakfast I have the shake with fruits.

Lunch big plate of salad with something (like pasta with pesto and cheese only size of my hand).

And the evening maybe a fruit again with the shake or salad and the shake.

Gym I will start in 2 days, I was thinking to try to go 3-4 times per week if it’s possible because I don’t have a standard schedule.

Should I try to go more?

Btw apart from the vanilla do you suggest any other flavours?

Because I will get bored.

Can you tell me a little more about your goals first, what are you trying to achieve?

' src=

I could find it in Asda yesterday for £17.29/kg!!

Good luck!!

Thanks for letting us know!

Hi Henry, I’ve had a couple of packets of PHD Whey Protein in my cupboard for about a year but when I went to make a shake this morning, I noticed lots of black bits in it and it didn’t smell as good as it did when first opened.

The expiry date isn’t until October 2017.

I have the chocolate and vanilla flavours.

Do you think this is still okay to use?

I’m not sure if the black bits are weevils.

If it fails the smell/taste test I would personally bin it.

' src=

You’ve done the best informing report yet about this magnificent product it helped me a lot but had to stop during pregnancy because I read it’s not safe.

Do you have any idea if it’s OK whilst breastfeeding then?

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be OK, but consult a doctor if you’re worried.

' src=

Love it… been on this for 16 days whilst remaining quite active and before I’ve actually started proper jogging, hiit and training.

I use it twice a day with one main meal have lost shit loads of weight already.

Don’t feel hungry… love it!

Great to hear it, feel free to get in touch if you have any questions!

' src=

Hi how long in total did you use it as a meal replacement and what were your results 🙂

' src=

I am 63 and bought this to aid losing weight after reading this I think i bought wrong product.

I am on my feet all morning as a cook and are going to start on my rowing machine is this enough to lose weight?

To lose weight you simply need to be consuming less calories than you burn.

If this is adding calories to your diet, it will do the opposite…

' src=

Hi, I’m a keen cyclist & have been recommended PHD Diet Whey to supplement the calorie burn.

I don’t actually want to lose too much weight.

Ideally maximise the muscle building.

Not going for the Froome physique… more a sprinter physique.

Does this fit the bill?

Anything that keeps you away from a caloric deficit will stop you from losing weight.

If this shake is convenient for you, go for it.

And if you want to maximise muscle gain, lift weights.

First class Henry! Cheers.

No worries, glad to help.

' src=

This is by far one of the best reviews I’ve read.

You are wasted peanut shovelling and should write a book.

Loved the review!!

' src=

I bought 1 kilo bags from Holland & Barrett in the following flavours (which I believe is currently the full set!) for £13.49 per bag less 20% discount.

I haven’t tried them all yet but some of these flavours make me salivate before I’ve even tried them!

I think I’ve got a protein shake fetish, although there are worse things to have a fetish about.

I’ve lost five kilos this year, and the annoying bit of fat around my mid section is now just a memory.

I would put my progress down to weights, cardio and counting calories via my fitbit, and not down to phd whey protein, but I like to think that it has definitely helped along the line.

I used to add it to soya milk but that became expensive and finicky, so now I just add it to cold water.

The first two or three gulps were less creamy to the taste, as you would expect, but since then I’ve never looked back.

TBH like many on here I just love the taste!

Banana Strawberry delight Vanilla creme Chocolate and mint Belgian chocolate Salted caramel Chocolate peanut White chocolate and raspberry Birthday cake White chocolate Cherry Bakewell Chocolate orange Cookies and cream

Whey protein is a popular supplement for the many out there who exercise or take their health and fitness seriously. It helps with building muscle, recovery, and provides essential amino acids that support your body in many of its functions. On the other hand, though, many whey protein supplements are high in calories and have a high sugar content. 

In comes PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein, which claims to be different than traditional whey protein powders. For starters, it has less calories and carbs than other protein supplements. It also consists of more CLA, flaxseed, and L-Carnitine than other options. This product is meant for increasing lean muscle mass while reducing body fat.

In this PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein review, we’re going to talk about what we found when we took a closer look at this diet Whey powder. We’ll go over what’s in it, how it tastes, who should use it, and more. Read on to find out if PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder is a good fit for you and how our review experience came out.

Whey protein - helps with building muscle

What Is PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder?

PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein is a protein supplement from PhD Performance Nutrition, the same producers as well-known testosterone booster PhD Test Matrix . PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein combines ingredients for targeting muscle building with those that support increases in energy and fat loss. It’s a high-protein, low-calorie blended supplement designed to help people reach their fitness goals.

PHD Diet Whey Protein

The idea is not to put on a lot of fat when you’re working on toning your muscles. PhD keeps the carbohydrates and calories low, but the protein high in a serving of its PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder. PhD adds other ingredients that boost energy, increase fat burning, and promote better digestive health.

How Does PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein Compare?

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder has 91 calories per 25 gram serving of the supplement. Traditional whey protein supplements often have anywhere from 110 to 160 calories per serving; for example, you’ll find 130 calories per serving in Bowmar Nutrition Whey Protein and 160 calories per serving in Gnarly Whey . The tricky thing to remember when you’re comparing protein powder supplements is to look at the serving size. They may not be the same.

PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein has less than 2 grams of fat and less than 3 grams of carbs per serving. The fat content and carbohydrates of other protein powders varies widely across the board. 

PhD sets their product apart by adding more of certain ingredients to help boost the effectiveness of their protein powder. So, let’s take a look at what’s in this protein supplement.

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder Ingredients

The ingredients in PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder add for extra muscle building, and fat burning power are CLA, flaxseed, and L-Carnitine. So, let’s talk about those and what they bring to the table.

  • CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) – CLA is an omega-6 fatty acid that has many benefits for your body. Research shows there may be a link between CLA and weight loss. It decreases the amount of body fat you have. Other benefits may include preventing cancer and type 2 diabetes, as well as heart disease. 
  • Flaxseed – Ground flaxseed improves your digestive system. It’s high in fiber and consists of omega-3 fatty acids. People use flaxseed to relieve constipation. It’s thought to lower the bad cholesterol level, too. 
  • L-Carnitine – This amino acid improves cognitive function and stimulates weight loss. L-Carnitine is said to convert fat into energy for your body. The fatty acids enter the mitochondria (power producer in cells), where they are burned to create an energy source. 

PHD Diet Whey Protein Chocolate Drink

PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein has 750 milligrams of flaxseed powder per serving. It also has 375 milligrams of CLA and 125 milligrams of L-Carnitine. 

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder Flavors

PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein comes in more flavors than most other protein supplement brands. Here’s a list of their inventive flavors:

  • Vanilla Creme
  • Belgian Chocolate
  • White Chocolate
  • Chocolate Mint
  • Lemon & Blueberry
  • Salted Caramel
  • Chocolate Peanut
  • Cookies & Cream
  • Chocolate Orange
  • Royal Milk Tea
  • White Chocolate & Raspberry
  • Birthday Cake

PHD Diet Whey Protein Flavors

Keep in mind some of the ingredients and nutritional information may vary a little from one flavor to another.

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder Customer Reviews

We’re all different, but it’s helpful to hear what others who already use the protein have to say about their results and how the product tastes. 

For the most part, users say they like the taste of the protein. Overall, Banana appears to be one of the favorite flavors. Belgian Chocolate and Vanilla Crème are also popular. Most reviewers say the mixture comes out thick but without lumps. The one common negative was from users saying the flavors taste too sweet. 

Customers of this product say it works well to keep them full. It blends easily and has a smooth texture. They also mostly say it’s excellent for providing the nutrition they’re looking for. It’s a good value.

Users say they like the boost they get for their recovery when having this protein supplement. Generally, people like PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein as a post-workout supplement .

Who is PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein Best For?

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder is the ideal supplement for people looking to gain lean muscle mass while cutting body fat. It’s high protein but low calorie and sugar. 

PHD Diet Whey Protein - gain lean muscle mass

Though it’s not the right choice to include for anyone looking to bulk up. PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder isn’t engineered to add bulk to someone. While it supports muscle recovery and growth, it isn’t mixed for building large muscles. 

Some people are allergic to whey protein. If you know you are or have a sensitivity to it, do not use PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein.

Is PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein Safe?

No protein supplement should be taken in excess. Too much of the added ingredients could result in negative side effects. But we want to focus on any possible side effects from using the supplement as intended.

Users report some instances of belly aches, cramping, and diarrhea. Some people said they felt sick after drinking their protein shakes. These are symptoms that many may experience when they drink protein supplements. PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein doesn’t have a lot of this reported, but there are some users indicating these side effects. 

Is There Data to Back Up PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein?

There is scientific research that supports the benefits of specific ingredients in PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein. What we don’t see are any studies done by third parties of the product itself. PhD has yet to come out with any proof their supplement does what it says it can.

Where to Buy PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder

PHD Diet Whey Protein Website

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder is available in 3 sizes, with savings at each level. We will detail the pricing and savings below.

PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein Pricing:

  • 500G –  £12.74 / $17.12 (save 15%)
  • 1KG –  £19.19 / $25.78 (save 40%)
  • 2KG – £29.50 / $39.64 (save 50%)

With three sizes/pricing tiers, savings at each order level, and 14 flavors to choose from (including options like Birthday Cake and Salted Caramel), there seems to be something for everyone when it comes to PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein.

Claims vs. Reality

PhD claims their Diet Whey Protein Powder is formulated with a high-protein, low-calorie blend. Which it does, at first glance. When you compare this supplement to other protein powders , make sure you look at the serving size indicated on the package. You want to make your comparison across a level playing ground.

The company also claims these powders have “market-leading taste and mixability.” The mixability does check out. Customers report it is easy to mix, and you aren’t left with lumps. The claim on taste isn’t full proof. There are reports that users like the taste. However, some users also report a fake or unpleasant taste.

The final claim we’ll look at is that PhD adds more CLA, flaxseed, and L-Carnitine than other brands. This claim is supported. The ingredients in protein powders vary widely across different brands of supplements. Some makers keep ingredient levels a secret due to proprietary formulas, but we can usually see if an ingredient is part of a supplement.

Conclusion: PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein Review

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder is a high-quality supplement that works as a meal replacement or a post-workout recovery drink. The flavor assortment is large, meaning there is a flavor out there for everyone’s taste buds to enjoy.

PHD Diet Whey Protein - Raspberry and White Chocolate Flavour

PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein is also ideal for anyone looking to promote more lean muscle mass and less body fat. The added ingredients are targeted at trimming off fat while helping muscles recover quicker. While it is a good protein supplement, it isn’t right for everyone. You may need to do some tasting to find the right flavor, also.

In short, we think PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein is a good quality protein supplement that may not be right for everyone, but will work well for some.

STATEMENT OF AUTHORSHIP

Associated Data

Background & aims:.

Weight loss in older adults enhances physical function, but may lead to sarcopenia and osteoporosis. Whey protein is a low cost rich source of essential amino acids, may improve physical function. We evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of consuming whey protein in the context of a weight-loss intervention in older adults with obesity.

A 12-week pilot feasibility, non-randomized weight loss study of 28 older adults was conducted, consisting of individualized, weekly dietitian visits with twice weekly physical therapist-led group strengthening classes. Half consumed whey protein, three times weekly, following exercise. Preliminary efficacy measures of body composition, sit-to-stand, 6-minute walk and grip strength and subjective measures of self-reported health and function were also evaluated.

Of the 37 enrolled, 28 completed the study (50% in the protein group). Attendance rates for protein vs. non-protein groups were 89.9±11.1% vs. 95.6±3.4% (p=0.08). Protein consumption was high in those attending classes (90.3%) as was compliance at home (82.6%). Whey was pleasant (67.3±22.1, range 30-100, above average), had little aftertaste, and was neither salty or sticky. All were compliant (0.64±0.84, range 0-5, low = higher compliance). Both groups lost significant weight (protein vs. no protein, −3.45±2.86 vs. −5.79±3.08, p=0.47); Sit-to-stand, six-minute walk, and gait speed were no different, grip strength was improved in the protein compared to the non-protein group (−2.63 kg vs. 4.29 kg; p<0.001).

Conclusions:

Our results suggest that whey protein is a low-cost and readily available nutritional supplement that can be integrated into a weight loss intervention.

Introduction

The growing obesity epidemic affects over 40% of adults 65 years and older[ 1 ], and is associated with a higher risk of institutionalization[ 2 ], mortality[ 3 ], and costs[ 4 ]. Health promotion interventions in older adults, including weight loss, can enhance physical function and quality of life[ 5 ], but should be guided cautiously to prevent sarcopenia and osteoporosis[ 6 ] particularly in vulnerable older adults[ 7 ]. Energy deficits created by caloric reduction can lead to a downregulation of muscle protein synthesis and an increase in muscle proteolysis. This can contribute to reduced skeletal muscle mass which consequently may affect strength[ 8 ]. Sarcopenia developed during weight loss can threaten physical function and long-term health[ 9 ] but may be partially mitigated by increasing protein intake with a supplement. Additional protein may restore optimal anabolic signaling in aging.[ 10 , 11 ] In addition, there may be an improvement in muscle parameters during resistance training.[ 12 ] through increased muscle protein synthesis.[ 13 ]

Whey protein, a milk-derived protein, contains essential amino acids and high quantities of branched-chain amino acids.[ 14 ] As a fast-acting protein, whey can stimulate post-prandial muscle protein synthesis more efficiently through faster digestion and quicker absorption[ 15 ] compared to casein or soy.[ 14 ] Increasing daily protein intake has been recommended for older adults, and may mitigate sarcopenia during weight-loss efforts in older adults.[ 16 ] Protein supplementation has been purported to enhance muscle mass and strength within the context of weight loss interventions.[ 17 ] It has been hypothesized that this may indeed improve physical function and preserve changes in body composition in behavior-based obesity treatments.[ 18 ]

Whey supplementation comes in tablet, liquid, or powder-based formulations. Older adults often are prescribed supplementation during unintentional weight loss or following an acute illness.[ 19 ] Palatability of supplementation is a key driver of compliance.[ 20 ] Hence, it is critical that the supplement within the context of a weight loss intervention is feasible, tolerable, and patient’s exhibit compliance prior to a large-scale clinical trial. Only then can the effectiveness of high-dose whey protein (>20g) be evaluated whether it can attenuate muscle catabolism. Our objective was: a) to ascertain the feasibility of providing whey protein supplementation during a 12-week weight loss intervention in older adults with obesity; b) determine the acceptability of consuming the supplement; and c) evaluate in an exploratory manner whether there were preliminary signals of efficacy between our comparison groups. This information can provide preliminary data prior to investing resources in conducting a large-scale trial evaluating the efficacy of such a supplement on changes in body composition or physical function observed with weight loss.

MATERIALS & METHODS

Study design and setting.

We conducted a non-randomized study of older adults with obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥30 kg/m 2 ) residing in rural Northern New England. Dartmouth-Hitchcock is an academic medical center located on the New Hampshire and Vermont border, serving >1.5 million patients yearly. Study activities took place at a community-based aging center serving older adults. The study was approved by the Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects at Dartmouth College, the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Institutional Review Board, and the Institutional Review Board at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and registered on clinicaltrials.gov ( NCT#03104192 ). Informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human subjects.

Intervention

A series of studies consisted of 6-8 participants at each time were conducted over an 18-month period. Briefly, each set of participants received a 12-week, on-site, diet and exercise intervention consisting of individual, weekly, 30-minute registered dietitian nutrition sessions, and twice-weekly, 75-minute physical therapist-based group exercise sessions based on the recommendations of the American College of Sports Medicine.[ 21 ] An individualized program consisting of resistance, flexibility and balance exercise plans were developed as previously described [ 22 , 23 ]. All participants were provided a wearable fitness device (Fitbit Flex 2) and a Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet to permit remote monitoring of their aerobic activity. Participants were evaluated weekly as to whether they completed a third session of resistance exercises weekly.

Recruitment

Participants were recruited from both primary care clinics and community settings as previously described.[ 22 ] Adults aged ≥ 65 years with a BMI ≥ 30kg/m 2 were eligible, but excluded if there was an electronic medical record diagnosis of dementia, uncontrolled psychiatric illness, bariatric surgery, life-threatening or end-of-life illness, participation in other weight-loss endeavors, on obesogenic medications, advanced systemic illness, or an intentional weight loss of ≥5% in the past six months. Information was also obtained from self-reported survey questionnaires. Participants required a score of ≥3 on the Callahan Cognitive questionnaire[ 24 ], and scores of ≥71.2 and ≥56.4 on the Functional Status questionnaire for basic and instrumental activities of daily living[ 25 ]. All 37 participants consented were compensated $25 for each assessment completed, of which 28 completed the intervention.

Whey Protein Supplementation

Half of the participants (n=14) were asked to consume one serving of a whey-protein based supplement (Thorne Whey Protein Isolate, Thorne Research, Dover, ID), consisting of a choice of 27g (vanilla) or 29g (chocolate) of whey, three times per week after each exercise session. The manufacturer’s label indicated 2.2g of leucine per serving. Two servings were consumed under direct supervision by the physical therapists during the in-person sessions, while the third dose was self-administered at home. The powder was constituted in 8 oz of water and consumed within 30 min of their exercise session. Participants were provided the protein on-site from the same flavored container; each was given an individual protein container for home use. Compliance was monitored using a self-report diary. No sham protein was provided to the non-protein group. The research team conducted an analysis using mass spectroscopy of the total protein and amino acid composition of all samples (MToZ-biolabs, Boston, MA). A standard protocol evaluated a branch chain amino acid analysis. [ 14 , 26 ]

Study Outcomes

Our primary outcome was the feasibility and acceptability of whey protein consumption in the whey protein group. Drink characteristics of the whey supplement were rated on a 100-mm visual analogue scale[ 27 ], with anchors placed at 0 mm (not at all) and 100mm (extremely/extreme). Select questions from the Moriskey Medication Adherence Scale[ 28 ] scale were rated on a 0-5 Likert scale (low to high). Semi-structured interviews were related to the protein supplement and conducted by the lead author and coded independently by members of the team (See Supplementary Appendix #1 ). The purpose of these interviews was to gain insights into the consumption of the protein as part of this intervention.

Preliminary efficacy measures were based on physical function, weight and body composition measures using subjective and objective measures. Weight was measured using an A+D scale; height was assessed using a stadiometer. BMI was calculated using Quetelet’s formula. Waist circumference was measured at the level of the iliac crest using a standard tape measure. Physical function measures included gait speed, 5-times sit-to-stand test, and 6-minute walk test. A 5-m course permitted assessment of gait speed, with an acceleration/deceleration component. Three trials of grip strength in each had was measured using a JAMAR dynamometer. The maximum strength was used in the analysis. A 5-times sit-to-stand test was conducted using a standard chair with a back. Participants performed the test with their arms folded and their buttocks hitting the chair on each repetition. Surveys were administered using RedCAP with data double verified. The Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global short form 10 function (physical and mental health) and the Function component of the Late-life Function and Disability Instrument were also posed to participants as in our previous studies[ 22 , 23 ].

Body composition, including percent body and visceral fat, was assessed using the Seca mBCA bioelectrical impedance analyzer (Hamburg, Germany). This eight-point method uses a flow of low alternating current. Participants’ physical activity level (on 5 levels) was entered and they then stood barefoot for 20 seconds holding the hand electrodes. Appendicular lean mass (ALM) was defined as the sum of the upper and lower extremities and then normalized for both BMI and height (m 2 ).

Statistical Analysis

A priori , we defined successful retention as a dropout rate <20%, and attendance rate of >75% of sessions as acceptable. Continuous variables are presented as means (standard deviation) or counts (percent). Paired t-tests compared pre/post characteristics within groups. We compared the pre-post change in each metric between participants in the whey protein group vs. the non-whey group using an unpaired t-test with unequal variances for continuous values, or chi-square for categorical variables. We used a mixed effects model clustering on the individual to examine the impact that protein supplementation had on the change in each metric of interest as an outcome while adjusting for baseline grip strength. The analysis was based on complete case ascertainment. A sensitivity analysis was also conducted adjusting for baseline grip strength. All quantitative analyses were conducted using R v3.6 ( www.R-project.org ). Interviews were transcribed using a commercial transcription service. Transcripts were read and open coding was conducted, a process of labeling portions of text to identify ideas and concepts. Codes were inductively- and deductively evaluated. A query tool retrieved text by code, which were reviewed for content, relevance and prevalence of themes. Qualitative data from the semi-structured interviews were evaluated using Dedoose . A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

There were 37 participants enrolled in both arms with 28 completing the study ( Table 1 ). Other than smoking status, there were no differences in demographics between the protein vs. non-protein groups. In the protein (whey) group, our completion rate was 14/17 (82.4%). Mean attendance rates were 89.9±11.1% vs. 95.6±3.4% (p=0.08), in the protein vs. non-protein groups. Protein consumption was high in those attending classes (90.3%) as was self-report compliance of whey at home (82.6%). Eleven participants consumed chocolate whey and 6 chose vanilla whey. Mean total protein (g) in each serving was no different (9.51±1.41 vs. 9.94±0.75, p=0.70), and mean leucine concentration between chocolate and vanilla was statistically different (2.49±0.29 vs. 2.25±0.07, p=0.02). Table 2 highlights the questions on drink characteristics scale. The reconstituted whey drink was pleasant (67.3±22.1, range 30-100, interpretation of above average), had little aftertaste, and was neither salty, creamy thick, sticky or fruity. Participants exhibited good compliance with consuming the drink at home as they rated forgetting to take their whey at home as low (0.64±0.84, range 0-5, low to high). The protein was not perceived as an inconvenience to consume (0.57±1.16).

All values represented indicate mean (standard deviation), range, and the range of responses. The last column represents the interpretation of the scoring.

Key qualitative themes are represented in Table 3 . Participants did not have any pre-conceived expectations of the suitability of the protein supplement and were unsure whether the protein helped them. It tasted better than expected and would consider using it again. All participants believed protein was critical in weight management and in preserving muscle. Reportedly, participants stated they consumed the whey on their non-person days as a result of their commitment to the study.

Select Quotations of The Whey Protein Supplement

Table 4 reflects that both groups lost a significant amount of weight over time (protein vs. no protein, −3.45±2.86 vs. −5.79±3.08, p=0.47); however, those in the protein group lost less weight. No differences were observed in waist circumference. Neither group lost significant appendicular lean mass. In protein participants, there were no changes in body or visceral fat mass; between groups, this was statistically different. While both groups improved their sit-to-stand times, six-minute walk, and gait speed, grip strength was significantly improved in those consuming whey as compared to the non-protein group (−2.63 kg vs. 4.29 kg; p<0.001). Pre/post subjective measures of health and function improved in both groups, but no different from each other. We found minimal differences after adjusting for baseline grip strength.

Preliminary Efficacy of Functional and Body Composition Changes

This study evaluating whey protein supplementation demonstrated its feasibility and acceptability. Using quantitative and qualitative data, we confirmed in a sample of 14 participants, that this supplement can be integrated in future health service interventions. Importantly, we also demonstrated preliminary efficacy of physical function measures.

Our data provides formative information to set the stage for a future trial. First, we had minimal number of dropouts in our protein cohort; this suggests that the supplement would not impact our approach and that interventionists could potentially focus on delivering a weight loss intervention rather than focusing on its palatability. Hence, we feel confident that we can proceed with a larger scale trial. Second, we have documented patient acceptability using standardized scales. Third, while whey protein supplementation physiologically is suggestive of maintaining muscle mass and strength in older adults, our results demonstrate a maintenance of appendicular lean mass. These findings approximated those found by others; however, whey was administered in exercise-only studies (following exercise) but had a higher protein dose (40g/day)[ 29 ] or only on exercise days[ 30 ] (e.g, three times weekly). Fourth, the added caloric intake from whey protein may blunt the degree of weight loss; it is unclear whether protein impacts satiety or meal consumption. Such findings need to be confirmed in larger scale studies.

A major concern at the beginning of the study was whether protein supplementation would be acceptable to participants. Our results suggest excellent compliance and tolerability which is similar to what was observed by others[ 27 , 31 ]. Palatability is a key component for any type of intervention in that unpalatable items will lead to non-compliance. Our quantitative data also confirmed the quantitative findings. We believe that future studies should be generally confident of its acceptability.

Previous studies have demonstrated that multicomponent interventions consisting of caloric restriction and resistance/aerobic exercises have led to significant weight loss.[ 32 , 33 ] The addition of whey protein in our study led to less weight loss and minimal changes in body or visceral fat. A number of reasons could explain these findings. First, the duration of treatment was short. Studies whose duration is three months have shown fewer changes in body composition[ 34 ]. Other studies last up to six months that demonstrated maintained muscle mass with accompanied improvements in muscle protein synthesis and muscle quality in the vastis lateralis[ 35 ], or reductions in intramuscular fat.[ 36 ] Second, it is unclear whether the functional status of our study population may have impacted our results. While we did not specifically incorporate the Short Physical Performance Battery as an outcome measure, our participants had a rather high level of physical function. Other authors have evaluated the impact of protein supplementation on higher risk, and more functionally impaired participants[ 37 , 38 ]; yet these authors found conflicting findings on physical function using protein. Yet, our findings did not change after adjusting for baseline grip strength. Third, this was a pilot study that was not powered to evaluate the effect of our efficacy outcomes, and only a fully powered randomized controlled trial could evaluate such. Last, while not a randomized trial, our results also corroborated a study demonstrating the limited impact of protein consumption with exercise.[ 39 ]

Our intervention findings did not find any significant changes between groups over time between protein vs. non-protein groups on key measures of 5-times sit-to-stand, 6-minute walk and gait speed. The protein group had improvements in grip strength, but this was not evident in the non-protein group. The minimal differences in body composition between remained, even after we conducted a sensitivity analysis adjusted for baseline grip strength. These results suggest that the increase in strength at follow-up may be due more to gains in neuromuscular function as a result of the upper body exercises. Another possibility may have been the small statistically significant differences observed in leucine composition (0.24 g) amongst the different flavors provided; whether this is clinically significant is unclear. Importantly, other amino acids may have contributed to the differences in overall protein composition, but future studies are needed to confirm such findings. While we adhered to the Office of Dietary Supplement Product Integrity guide, the protein composition is standardized to what is available commercially. A recent systematic review and perspective statement by the Obesity Society in fact highlighted product integrity concerns among the manufacturer’s claims [ 40 , 41 ]. Our findings may also provide additional insights in the timing of protein supplementation since we provided this following exercise. Whether consumption at other times and/or with increased amount, concentration and/or frequency require further examination.

In our study, we increased the protein allowance to 1.0–1.5 g/kg/day or a minimum of 20% of total caloric intake.[ 19 ] Older adults are at risk of developing anabolic resistance due to reduced post-prandial amino acid availability, muscle perfusion, and uptake, and digestive capacity from splanchnic sequestration of amino acids[ 20 ]. The lower degree of weight loss in the whey group suggested that caloric restriction may need to be even further limited than previously expected, despite structured meal plans and instructions to reduce caloric (mainly fat) intake on the days that they consumed the supplement.

This study had a number of limitations. First, it was non-randomized. While we compared the baseline characteristics of the two cohorts, unknown confounders may impact our primary and secondary outcomes. Second, this was a small study of 14 participants in each cohorts. Only larger, adequately powered studies could better evaluate efficacy of protein supplementation. Third, our cohort was homogeneous and the effects of protein supplementation may differ depending on ethnic and racial cohorts. Fourth, while we used commercially available standardized methods to evaluate the protein composition as a quality control measure, we did find some differences in leucine composition. Last, the study failed to evaluate perceived strength or measure lower extremity strength; hence, we were unable to mitigate the discrepancy between observed and subjective changes in strength itself. Since supplements are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, we could consider the protein itself as a pragmatic, commercially available product, and understand that there may be limitations in its response or action.

Implications and Future Directions

Strategies to optimize protein anabolism during weight loss are needed to prevent negative changes in body composition[ 5 , 6 ]. Our findings provide feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effectiveness data to conduct a large scale, adequately powered, randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of a whey protein supplement within the context of a weight loss intervention in older adults. In such a trial, we would need to better oversee caloric restriction in the protein supplement group, extend the duration of the trial, and consider varying the protein supplement administration. If caloric intake was truly an issue, varying the administration schedule (e.g., twice weekly), timing (before exercise vs. after exercise), or amount (1/2 a serving vs. a full serving) could be considered. Importantly, whey did not have a negative impact on any of our subjective functional measures, nor on appendicular lean mass. Furthermore, emerging data suggests that lean mass is less important than loss of muscle strength and hence our findings confirm this potential finding.

Great Customer Service from Johnathan

Johnathan, a Customer Experience Advisor at PhD could not have been more helpful. I had an issue with the Evri delivery, that Trustpilot refuses to let me post (see below) -- "Can Evri please explain to me, why they dumped my package outside my gate, on the pavement, at night? Rather than opening the gate, ringing my bell, opening my outer door, and leaving in my enclosed porch (which the drivers normally do)? How lazy can this new driver be?"

Disappointed in synthetic taste

“ Love this brand however found the taste of this quite synthetic and can really taste the sweeteners. Tried to disguise it by adding fresh strawberries and oat milk but it still tastes a tad funny to me. Will continue to finish it as it’s not all bad but much prefer the banana flavour ”

Uncovering the Difference Between Whey Protein and Whey Isolate: A Nutrition Professional's Guide

Expert opinion from cassia d muller, bechelor in nutrition · 2 years of experience · brazil.

The amount of protein each contains. Concentrated whey protein is obtained in the first stage of the filtering process, and therefore it contains a certain amount of fats and carbohydrates, and therefore has a lower and more accessible value. Whey isolate, on the other hand, goes through more purification steps, containing very low amounts of fats and carbohydrates, and also being a little more expensive.

Expert opinion from Livia Dickson Chen

Phd in nutrition · 11 years of experience · brazil.

Both are obtained from milk, and the main difference will be in the concentration of proteins in the same portion. Whey isolate will have more protein than whey protein. Whey protein has more carbohydrates and fats, including lactose.

Expert opinion from Roseane M Silva

Master in health sciences, bachelor in nutrition · 7 years of experience · brazil.

Whey Protein Isolate is a source of the best essential proteins as it contains complete protein structures, free amino acids and peptides.
