Protein drinks can play an important role in a seriously ill (cancer) persons diet or to supplement a less than well persons diet even.

As a meal replacement for a dieter, it is just dumb and it won't work long term anyway.

Sustagen is a protein drink that helps with diet during recovery. I was addicted to it when I was pregnant.

Protein drinks are a good source of protein. Protein supplements are not generally required unless a person's diet is otherwise lacking in protein (as can happen with vegetarians) or you are a hard core athlete trying to build or maintain muscle mass.

I have used protein drinks myself when I used to exercise a lot but I don't think it is necessary for people who have a normal diet and only exercise moderately.

My nephew has a protein drink every single day, to build himself up.

He doesnt need to diet as he is skinny as a rake, he is not sick or anything, just naturally thin.

Nothing beats a good natural diet but there are times they are beneficial.

Several years ago I had septacaemia and couldn't eat very much. I was given sustagen - which I couldn't stand but they replaced that with protein powder that they would sprinkle on the little food I could eat.

I don't eat a lot of red meat but have a hand full of nets most days to get some extra protein.

Would that be fishing nets, hair nets, or butterfly nets?????

I'd say fishing nets, then you get the protein from the fish as well.

I have used protein powders for years, especially during training.

Not only for the protein but more importantly for the amino acids which are the building blocks of protein.

There are 9 essential amino acids and they are called essential as they are not produced by the body, needed from dietary intake.

I recommend to all to have a protein powder supplement and a good multi vitamin/minerals at least once a week.

It may just cover any unknown deficiencies.

(Providing there are no medical conditions or restrictions preventing certain supplements)
