I've heard that but I didn't feel any fuller with this protein powder than with other sources with similar calories.

Yes you can if you use the protein shakes in place of a meal. I use two scoops of protein powder with Almond Milk in a shaker cup for breakfast. It is also good post work out.

Yes, you can use it for weight loss. I have had lapband surgery and doctor has me on 800-900 calorie diet to lose remainder of weight. Because stomach is so much smaller, I am unable to eat enough actual food to maintain muscle tone until I get to maintenance weight. He has prescribed approx. 80 grams of protein daily. I use this and add vegetables and fruit to make it a thicker smoothie. It is then very filling and helps me keep to my prescribed caloric intake. I use it as both a meal (usually breakfast) and sometimes again before bed if I haven't met the daily protein requirements eating other foods. It helps me from snacking on "no-no" foods. It's also very good for muscle recovery after exercising. Yes, you can use it for weight loss. I have had lapband surgery and doctor has me on 800-900 calorie diet to lose remainder of weight.

I know that in a lot of diets people don't get enough protein. I've been trying to lose weight and am working on getting more protein in my diet. In terms of losing weight I found this, http://www.webmd.com/diet/guide/high-protein-diet-weight-loss. So it has the potential to help you lose weight.

This solely won't help you lose weight. I use it with a workout while trying to burn fat, but retain muscle. If you want to lose weight, I recommend using the myfitnesspal app (http://www.myfitnesspal.com). It does take work because you do need to track all of your calories of everything you eat per day. It gives you a caloric goal to lose 1-2 pounds per week. I've lost 35 pounds with the app. Do research about why protein is important in a diet and use this to achieve your daily protein requirements.

I wouldn't say that it helps promote weight loss however, protein in general, has been known to promote weightless because it makes you feel full. As always a balanced diet in fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, veggies will aid in optimal health.

Could you be a little more specific with your question? Here's a little info, it has 20 something grams of protein, drink it as a meal replacement. It is delicious. Taste like a frappa from mcdonalds. It has helped me lose weight. Most of the time I drink it blended, I have drank hot and it taste like hot chocolate. Let me know what other questions you may have

I have had luck using the supplement in combination to tracking calories on my fitness pal. I would like to say I have been successful in increasing my exercise level, but alas that would be a lie. I have done the calorie thing before but always got frustrated and quit because there was little progess and I was hungry all the time - which led to cravings and snacking. With the supplement I have found it easier to skip the snacks and not be thinking about food all the time.

If you're asking 'is it a good, quality protein product that can attribute to muscle growth', than yes. If you're asking 'by taking this supplement, will I get ripped,' than the answer would likely be no. This is a supplement; the rest of your diet will still play a bigger role in muscle gain, as will the amount of and type of work you're putting in to gain muscle.

Absolutely, man. Whey is one of the highest quality protein out there. Take it after your workouts and you won't feel as sore. After a week or two start taking after your workouts and before bed with some milk. Obviously you're going to have to diet and excersize but ya whey will definitely lean you out.

Yes, this exercise bar will help you lose weight. The key to it is consistency on the bar and food intake moderation. It is also great for stretching and flexibility.

Not unless you go on a diet. All this product is offering is quick high calorie intake of food. If you mix 4 scoops in with milk or a milk alternative and have this twice a day your basically taking in 1500 calories which depending on what foods you eat.... is like adding 2-3 meals into your daily food intake. Its not packing on any muscle so if you don't workout or do any cardio... you'll pack on mostly fat. So make sure your working out when using this weight gain unless you want to get fat.

I would say UMP protein alone will not give you the results you want. Diet and exercise is a must to lose weight and tone. On the bright side..I do recommend this protein for the nutritional value and taste.

Yes this helps you lose weight if you follow the directions. 1 scoop is 110 calories. If you measure properly, you will be good. Its used as a meal replacement in conjunction with healthy eating. I just use it with water and a dash of cinnamon to help regulate blood sugar ( i am not a diabetic, just want to lose weight). I use this for my lunch and eat small healthy snacks throughout the day ( apples, pears,pistachios ). Also you need to eat healthy and in moderation with exercise. It seems like a lot but hard work is how you will be successful. Nothing in life comes easy and there is no one drug cure.

No it did not work for weight loss. Cutting carbs and calories essentially works for me...this did not accelerate any weight loss for me!

If you begin by using it twice a day and only eating one meal with low calorie snacks in between you will do well. Ultimately, it doesn't matter much what you eat as long as you consume fewer calories than you burn. This has helped me lose and keep the weight off.

Hi Dionne. I am not a chemist and don't know how it works. My guess is, based on my current experience, that it seems to be functioning as an appetite suppressant. Weight loss is all about calories in versus calories out. Some of us seem to have cravings or impulses for certain foods that get totally out of control. I experience that all the time, but this supplement seems to be counter-acting that. Best wishes.

I use it as a protein source. It also gives me energy when I take it in the morning and helps curb my appetite. I'm hoping it helps nourish my skin over time as well.

You can pretty much drink it instead of a meal. I do suggest that you work out if your trying to stay healthy.

No it shouldn't be used alone, this is a supplement. It's used to make up the difference in what you don't get from food, like vitamins. You should lose 1 to 2 pounds a week that is healthy. Grab a book by a nutritionalist, or M.D. and then plan a diet. Or better yet go see a nutritionalist.
