Review on Vanilla Ice Cream Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder - 2 Pound (Packaging May Vary) by Gary Beard

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate, 1lb A little background. I'm 55 and haven't exercised since I was in the army in the 80's. Two years ago I had an attack of acute pancreatitis caused by gallstones and it was funny. After spending a month in the hospital and having my gallbladder removed, I recovered remarkably well. Except for the fact that every time I ate 6 to 10 ounces of very bland food, I got stomach pains and vomited a lot. This led to me eating many small meals throughout the day and snacking a lot. In two years I went from 185 pounds to 225 pounds. My doctor couldn't figure out what was causing the pain and nausea. They poked. probed, looked at every hole, drew more blood than I honestly thought was necessary, and did all the scans they have the machine for. After my doctor has not found a solution, I could try to play sports. It might help, unlikely to get any worse, and he wanted me to go to the gym anyway. I've only been training for 5 weeks and have been taking this product for 3 weeks. And I feel great. First. Gold Standard 100% Whey Double Chocolate tastes amazing. On milk, it's as good as a chocolate milkshake. I have to resist the urge to drink more just for fun. Not so good in water, but still very tasty. Secondly. I only take it right after a workout which is usually 8-10 hours after work. I don't sleep for another 2-3 hours afterwards and have no cravings for food even though I had the worst time ever for snacking last night. Third. After the first five weeks I've lost 25 pounds, feel great and look forward to going to the gym every day. I, too, knock on wood so far, have not suffered from stomach pains or nausea during this time. I was in pain twice at work after eating too much, but after working out I felt fine when I got home. In fact, both times that feeling just subtly disappeared at some point during the workout. I still watch what I eat, but I started cautiously adding variety at lunch because I knew I would be hitting the gym later. I don't know how Gold Standard Whey contributes to all the positive things. I listed it here, but I will continue to take it. In fact, I just ordered a £5 tub. I love the taste and look forward to it after a workout. It has definitely reduced my nighttime cravings. And if it also nourishes my muscles, I just don't know what more I could ask for. Simply put, I love this product and want to have children.
