Hi. I’m a 22 year old girl who is about 20 pounds underweight. I’m a gym finatic and I love to work out! I’ve been trying so hard to put on weight, but it’s very hard for me. I’ve decided to try supplements (powders).
However, everyone has different advice and opinions.

I would appreciate any advice on weight gain, supplements, protein, and building muscle!

Thanks!

Hi Robyn,

I just discovered your site and I like it. I am trying to add more raw foods to our families diet and stumbled upon this site. I use whey protein for myself and my family. It is made from raw A2 milk from grass fed cows. I know that most whey proteins are not good for you, but I believe that this one is. The site where I purchase it is healingchoices.myemeraldstore.com
Can you check it out and explain to my why it would not be a healthy choice. Thanks, Cindy

When it comes to whey protein, the quality needs to be taken into factor.
The very best you can get is a grade 7, anything less than that is just not the best. I know that there is only one company who has that grade in there products, here in the US the next best available is only a grade 3. Something to take into consideration. As for me and my family we have some who have finally been able to release weight and inches and body fat %, while others have been able to gain needed weight and bulk up on their lean body mass. All while using the same whey protein.

I think whey is far superior to the soy proteins, because the soy is highly estrogenic and with SO many other sources of soy isolates in the diet (unless you’re eating a very unprocessed, homemade diet, you’re getting it from bread, canned, boxed, even health-food store foods). And thank you, you’re right, whey is not a big contributor of casein, so the China Study and whey are not directly linked. I didn’t mean to say whey and casein are the same thing. Whey is the yellow liquid that separates from milk solids when you make kefir/yogurt–it is high in protein and sodium rich as well. (That’s sodium, not sodium chloride or table salt!)

Remember that I promote a 60-80 percent raw, 95% plant-based diet. I myself eat yogurt/kefir and am not a pure vegetarian, occasionally eat chicken or fish. You can read much more about this in other places on this blog, site, and in my books.

Robby, whole-food soy products, esp. fermented, are good foods. But again, we’re just getting bombarded with too much soy. I use them occasionally (tamari, Braggs, etc. as seasonings, occasional tofu or miso).

Patricia, hopefully you got the email with the 12 Nutrition Myths report. We had a little trouble getting it out so we sent out a mass email, sorry!

I believe that fermented, whole-food milks are good food (i.e. kefir and yogurt, preferably homemade as I teach in Ch. 8 of 12 Steps), if you’re not opposed to it being an animal product.

Karen, I am not doing local pickup on this, just too time consuming and difficult to manage–and I had a few items taken from orders during the group buy.

Tonya, I love Ultimate Meal and keep it in my food storage. Split pea protein is another good one (featured in that product).

Hi Robyn, I am curious about your son’s nutrition and exercise regimen. Could you provide details for a typical day? I have a son interested in adding some muscle as well. We have your 12 Steps, great stuff! Thanks

I have been hearing so much about Sun Warrior protein lately, I think I am ready to give it a try. I am debating between the plain/regular and vanilla. I would like to add it to my green smoothies in addition to experimenting with other recipes. Does anyone know how strong the vanilla flavor is? Does the plain/regular have any flavor to it? I am leaning towards the vanilla but would love to hear from others.
Thanks!

Karen, it will give you a local pickup option. Our fulfillment center is now doing that in West Lindon (Elite Operations) as my house was becoming Grand Central. You pay $3.95 for them to do that rather than shipping.

I prefer hemp protein made with hemp milk, bananas and strawberries for added protein if I feel like I need it. I don’t really feel like I need it as I have learned so much from Robyn and our lives have changed thanks to her and her blog! We are so much healthier and my 6 yr old son who goes to a special day class is being tested at 8 years old for speech and 10 years for describing plants, flowers and in complete detail. He went in for speech but is still in a special class for being hyper. He has come a long way from not speaking at all to being tested 4 years behind his age within 2 years of drinking green smoothies. This is the truth and is documented! Thank you Robyn!
