Hi there people
I bought some whey powder at new year when it was on offer in my local Spar. I bought it impulsively having read a few positive comments on here about it making a difference, and branch chain amino acids being mentioned in some research (forgive my vagueness; I am quite badly brain fogged and find specifics a challenge).
Around a week ago, I started taking it every day, one serving at 25 grams. I'm thinking about doubling what I'm taking to twice a day.
I'm not sure if it's doing anything but somehow I'm feeling good about taking it. I look forward to it! I am not severely affected and currently managing to walk around 8000 steps a day. I became ill in 2012 and no longer work. For the first two or three years I was unable to walk more than a short distance but I've improved quite a bit recently. I started walking when I got a puppy, in June last year. I have good days and bad days but usually manage to walk her. I have to be careful about pacing and not doing much else at all.
For the past few days, I've found myself dancing in the kitchen! Not sure it's just coincidental but I have tried all sorts of supplements and not really ever felt a direct improvement.
Anyway, I wondered if a post specifically on whey powder might be an idea? For those taking it or who have taken it. What are you taking and are you noticing a difference?
I'm taking PHD diet whey, banana flavour. It has a rather unpleasant, artificial banana flavour, but I've improved that by adding by adding other stuff, currently courgette and flax seed!
