The surprising truth about most Protein Powders

If you've ever been as near as a few feet away from any health food store, or even a supermarket, you should know firsthand that there is no shortage of protein powders available on the market today. In an effort to increase your daily protein intake easily, you've probably been tempted to buy one or more of these (or maybe you already have) and made them a part of your fat burning meal plans.

But there's a problem...

Until now, there has not been a protein powder that I felt confident recommending to you or even taking myself (there may be 1 or 2 on the market, but they're either ridiculously expensive or taste downright awful).

First - most protein powders are sweetened with artificial sweeteners. If your protein powder lists aspartame or sucralose as the sweetener...throw it out!  These sweeteners are downright dangerous and toxic to your body and seriously hinder your fat burning efforts. Instead of helping you burn fat by increasing your protein intake, these artificially sweetened protein powders prevent you from losing fat by overwhelming your body with harmful toxins. Throw it away now, - in the bin!

Second - most protein powders are not only using a low quality source of whey, they are processing it at high temperatures. This method of manufacture completely denatures the protein and decreases the protein value (making it kind of pointless and a waste to take at that point). Sadly, it is extremely difficult to find out exactly how your protein powder has been processed as the owners of most protein powder companies are big corporations and difficult to get a hold of, they are not going to give up their secrets easily.

Well Prograde Nutrition have finally done it. They have finally formulated a Protein Powder that is not only delicious, but one that is sweetened with Stevia (a completely natural sweetener) and have only used the highest quality, cold processed whey. See this BBC article on Stevia.

The best thing about the people at Prograde is that they listen! Myself and many other fitness authors that I truly respect were downright honest with them and told them frankly we would not recommend any protein powder with artificial sweeteners in it! Guess what happened? They actually listened and spent months formulating this new product.
This is as much great news for me as it is for you. If I have a protein option that's going to be easier than scrambling eggs for breakfast or making a full post workout meal, Then I'll take it! With this new protein powder, I'm going to be able to maintain my current protein intake in a much easier way.
