Well, the little more fat is no problem, as David says. As you say, it's a personal choice. I just thought that nuts are a more natural food than Whey.

Hi Freda,

Whey protein is a natural by-product from cheese production. So, nuts...natural...whey protein.... natural.

So "naturally"....a personal choice, even though I consume some nuts as well, and I consume both foods in moderation. The major part of David's plan is to reduce fructose to a point where the biochemical process inhibited by it, does not result in the over-production of fatty acids which then turn into fat. In one of my earlier posts I stated that I try to limit animal protein due to its fat content, in other words to moderate it. The whey protein is a good replacement, even though it is animal protein ie cheese, and without the fructooligosaccharide as a sweetener, a dirivative of fructose. Meat has a higher animal fat content than whey protein powder. However I do not use the whey as a total meal replacement, my food comprises a good variety ie protein and the carbs, broccoli, sprouts, oats, As the sugar guides on this site say, most vegetables are ok.

Hope this explains my plan.

Regards

Hi David, Have you tried the website www.180nutrition.com.au

I found it here on one of the discussion pages.It is an Australian product all natural and sugar free. I have only tried their starter packs, they $12.95 i think for 2 starter packs to try. High in protein, low in carbs and free of fillers which are usually full of sugar. I was using Atkins products, as I thought these would be perfect. Then I read the labels, they are full of many of the fillers that David says to avoid. The 180 products have non of these in them. The starter packs are 1 chocolate and the other is coconut. They have things such as chai seeds, sunflower seeds, Almond meal Pepitas Flaxseed meal in them. You can use it as a shake, or add it to food, or sprinkle on your porridge. I have only tried the chocolate so far. Very tasty and filling as a shake, with the added crunchy bits from the seeds. You can purchase through the website. Delivery to me took about 4 days.

Regards

Hi Helen,

I have looked at the 180 website, at the whey protein sold there. The product looks ok with its ingredients, almonds, chia seed etc. and sweetened with stevia which David refers to as a "your call", or your choice judgement as a sweetener ie not on his banned list. Their whey protein is the isolate type and not the concentrate type. There is a theory that the isolate can become rancid which can be "off-putting" to some of us. Isolate's claimed advantages are that most of the fat has been filtered out, as compared to concentrate, but not by very much. These are the two main differences, and it probably comes down to a personal choice. I believe both types, isolate and concentrate have been in existence for quite a while (many years), so there cannot be much, if anything, wrong with either. I am impressed with the almond, chia seed etc. ingredients at 180, these natural foods have a very healthy name. Thank you for your suggestions.

Regards
