The latest checkout magazine touted "Lose 43lbs by Memorial Day"..and I was hooked. I grabbed it up and paid my $2.02 happily, rushed out the car and found that Whey protein powder (along with walking and soul searching) was the answer. So what did I do? I went out and bought the powder. Fad follower...right here.
Do I think it will solve my weight problem? Probably not...but do I hope it will help...YES, otherwise I wouldn't be trying it.
I can see the logic...protein keeps you fuller and if you drink a couple protein shakes daily at less calories, you'll be less likely to eat MORE calories and in the end they say it's all about cutting calories (and exercise..boo). So eat less calories that make you feel more full. Simple enough. I've been drinking the 'shakes' since Saturday and I can tell you that I am fuller. Have I lost any weight...meh..a measly .4 from last week. BUT again...if I pay attention to it..I do feel more full. I'm also not eating alot of carbs...and I'm gonna start walking....
I'll keep you all posted on if the whey DOES make a difference...stay tuned!

On another note, I am going to out myself a bit here, I had eating issues in college - 600 calorie a day diet and throwing up any excess. I did therapy and quit the disordered eating but still had an unhealthy relationship with food and was a size 16. The thing that finally worked for me was giving up any and all diets because those just make me want the things I can't eat more and instead listening to my body. So, if I want pizza, I eat pizza. If I want a brownie, I eat a brownie. No guilt and the thing that changed is because these things aren't forbidden, I can eat one piece and be fine and I find don't want them all that much. Since changing that, I have been the same weight for the past 13 years (except when pregnant) and I don't feel like such a slave to food.
