phd diet whey macros

Pete Mullaney

I recently joined a gym for the first time as the team sport I play has became a once a week pastime. After my first three months of at least three sessions a week I had lost some weight that unfortunately included a percentage of muscle. A friend recommended PHD and after a month I kept up the weight loss but recovered the muscle I had lost. Taken with my porridge in the morning and a drink (with milk) later. Great taste and definite results.

Best tasting Banana protein powder I’ve ever had.

Sean Whysall

Awesome product

I’m not sure if this product

Anastasia Kourti

I love this protein powder- best flavour I’ve ever had

Purchased this, Banana, and the White Chocolate. White Chocolate is great tasting and mixes lovely but the Banana just doesn't taste of Banana, and I'm not sure what it does taste of, you can't eat it on its own and by adding things I am defeating the reason for purchasing it and for this reason its not good value for money

Used other products but find this one the best and feeling good.

Great productive. Good price and delivered on time! Very happy with product

Nice taste, good flavour

Natalie Williams

Fast delivery and Tastes lovely

Really smooth and rich flavour

Emily Akins

But watery / gritty for my taste compared to other flavours

Dear Miss Flanigan

Delicious! A rich chocolate drink while trying to lose weight sounded impossible - but if I hadn’t tried it I wouldn’t believe it!

Good product overall. Personally I still prefer vanilla but generally quite nice 👍

katherine mason

Great taste,makes a lovely shake

michael riley

Best tasting Protein. It’s amazing

Great product.

Jackie jones

A good quality and low fat whey protein for post workout recovery

Nice consistency for a protien shake, nice flavour and is nice mixed into other things like oats and is good for making protien sweet treats.

Once again I can't review this product as I did not eat it. But I have only rated it 1 star as this was a free gift after my purchase. And I find it bad that the only options for a freebie are NOT Vegan. When all the items I buy are Vegan ONLY. They really should have vegan options available if they are going to gift you a freebie.

Very tasty and great to use in baking

So gritty, like drinking sand. Could see the residue on the cup with each sip.

My day just wouldn't be the same without this. I love it.

Teresa O'Gorman

It’s nice but just a bit too sweet

Really nice I have mine with plenty of ice

Tracey Blyth

MR H MEHMET

It’s okay if you like chocolate

Aharon Itach

Delicious and filling

Tastes great.

Mick Malone

It's great and my usual go to shake

Moosa Khalifa

This mix is thick which I prefer as opposed to some others which are thinner. I get this delivered every 6 weeks.

Great tasting item Was recommended to me by my son

Great, efficient & balanced.

Staves off hunger till at least lunchtime. Nothing else worked but this does.

Fantastic love these

Quality product with great taste

Excellent product

Andrzej Gabrysiak

Delicious Belgian chocolate flavour and thick creamy texture! Very filling and satisfying!

laura hemms

Christabel Evans

Definitely worthwhile subscribing for this product, best I've tasted plus the discount for a subscription...no brainer!

Elaine Barnes

Absolutely love this product. Been using it for years. The Belgian chocolate flavour is amazing. Not too sweet and sickly like some but sweet enough to curb cravings. Really filling too.

Great tasting powder!!

Strong protein content and tasty.

Paul Spicer

Love strawberry

Great taste!!

Tasty and thick protein. Ideal as a sludge/ healthy mousse or as a smoothie. Even mixed in water.

Best tasting protein I’ve purchased

Decent Price, got on offer, Quick Delivery, Tastes amazing.

Good product

Darrin Evans

Why does everyone want a pat on the back?

Karen Durrant

I use this product for years and the taste and texture of the product is really nice 😊

Fernanda Teodoro

Easy to use, mix and drink. Tastes good too.

Great ………..

I use this product as a supplement with breakfast and supper as well as a protein shake. My favourite flavour in the range.

Mr Andrew Neal

Great flavour

Peter Connor

It does what it says on the tin!

Great tasting product

Darren Boardman

Have tried a number of different flavours but this is the one I always return to. Do find it needs a bit more mixing to get it fully dissolved than the optimistic instructions suggest but no big deal.

I am new to protein powders so have no comparison with other powders but I'm so happy with this one that I see no need to try a different brand. There is a great range of flavours though my favourite is Belgian Chocolate. The powder is very fine so mixes really well. I find it mixes better if you put the water in first and then the powder rather than powder first. Given a good shake in ice cold water it's a delicious, thick and creamy milkshake. It fills me up enough that I don't feel the need to snack so that's a bonus. Will definitely continue buying it.

Not as nice as I had hoped! Had a funny “twang” to it leaving a joy so nice after taste. Prefer the other flavours!

Absolutely delicious and creamy!

Glory Ogboko-Yahaya

Not a fan - tastes v creamy and not much else

chelsey bishop

Full of flavour, sweet and mixed in well too!

Omg this is delicious, feels so naughty! I love it. Great for overnight oats.

Likeable, but feel like the flavour leaves a bit of a bad aftertaste in the mouth. Would buy again, but not the best one I’ve tried

Harrison Parrish

A versatile flavour , very nice

Tastes delicious as always and low kcal so good for me. It lasts a bit longer than others aa well, eg. If I need to make it in the morning to have it later at work it doesn't go watery by the time I drink it. Will buy again.

Charlie Rew

Mixes well and tastes amazing

Darrel Steele

Not too sweet, tastes good. Lean formula is better than original for me, keeps weight off but muscle up.

far too sweet and sickly

sheila lewis

Very nice but prefer the choc ones

Amy Lawrence

Definitely tastes like uts mirrored off an American style cake but the mix of icing followed by raspberry jam is delicious.. Will definitely buy again.

Really good, just like eating a birthday cake!

Very average taste. Nothing special

Like actual birthday cake

Mr A Henderson

Very watery... OK "interesting" taste.

Michael Rice

It’s really not very pleasant - sorry.

Jackie Norman

Tastes really nice, best with really cold water. Great product.

Abigail Barrett

Protein powder itself is really tasty, however there was an issue with the bag in that it does not seal- informed customer care and they have checked its an isolated incident. Offered me a refund or replacement- which i've declined as it wasn't about that, but top notch customer service! well done

Gemma Hebdon

Taste is horrible, i rate PHD products highly just NOT this one.

Tastes like ice cream. I love it.

Beata Bialic

Can't rate it becouse you cancelled my order on two occasions, so i hope you wasn't expecting good feedback I'll just go back to gold standard becouse you can't compete with that, other than price.

Perfect taste and balance

Great taste. Easy to digest.

Stuart Bowie

Mint is by far the best flavour

민초 왜이제시킨건지 빨리 먹어볼걸 그랬어요 맛있어요 근데 로얄밀크티는 왜 안나와여 내놔요

Love the mint best, reminds me of Angel Delight

Tasty. Doesn't easily dissolve so be prepared to stir/shake for a while.

Excellent product and great price and fast delivery

Andrew Fraser

Like mint chocolate ice cream without the guilt!

Delicious low cal high protein powder great for a cutting or maintaining diet, with almost perfect resemblance to flavour.

It’s so tasty. Feels like I’m having real chocolate with mint. Love it

Difficult to fully mix

Emma Titterington

Tasty product. Quick service and delivery.

Great product with a great taste

Shamir Ebrahim

The minty chocolate flavours are marred by a strange bitter chemical aftertaste. Quite strong- most other flavours in this series are great.

Lisa Badger

Great flavour, mixes easily. Packaging a bit annoying though, with narrow top to bag.

Claire Taylor

Very tasteful

Nice, it's some what refreshing

Brillian protein an low cals cherry bakewell an chocolate peanut are favourites but not found one i dont like

Nice taste like all phd product

PETER HANULA

Updated recipe for the vanilla powder means that the product no longer has any flavour - I would not recommend the latest batch

Been waiting to try the chocolate orange and not disappointed! Always mixes well in oats or a shake

Lucy Plummer

Tastes great mixed with water and oats porridge 😋

Use it daily and its helped me keep off the weight, it's tasty, filling and perfect for my protein intake. Would highly recommend.

Expected a Terry's Chocolate Orange type thing. Maybe I set the bar too high.

Kanna Ganga

Lovely flavour as you can taste the orange

Alison Scriven

great taste no aftertaste quick international delivery

Pavle Kodak

Best flavour they've done

Fionn Murphy

It’s lovely tasting but the bag came ripped

Danny southwick

Nice taste very good when comes to a shake

Great tasting quality whey, I've given 4 stars as I haven't used it long enough to see whether it will help with muscle gain, but it is easy to mixx, tastes great and gives me the ability to tailor my protein amounts easily.

Nice flavour choc orange,needs a blender to mix properly

The protein powder and bars taste really great. Been using PHD products for over a year now and would recommend for sure

Great tasting great price what more can you say

Jonny carter

Very good customer service excellent service excellent product ty

paul williams

really nice flavour

james Watts

Tastes amazing mixes well and great value for money

I love and enjoy all PhD products - this is the best protein powder in the market! Everyone loves PhD because of its well balanced tasting products and thick texture and versatility! I have tried Belgian chocolate powder too but I am addicted to chocolate orange flavour!! Well done PhD keep up the good work!! Please do not discontinue chocolate orange flavour thanks!!

Phd diet whey is an excellent product, other protein powders lay heavy and are not easily digestible, I will never use anything else, it is also very versatile.

Colin Hockless

Love the taste and texture plenty of flavours to choose from

Craig mcparland

Shame the bag had a hole in it so half was in the box before I opened it. This bag should not have been despatched. It wasn’t professional

Jamal Choudhury

Good ingredients, tastes great, and dissolves easily to a smooth drink.

Andy Osmond

Tastes great

Tania Duffy

Good make up and good taste. Could do with more orange flavour

Good quality product, tastes great as well. A bit pricey compared to some other brands, but the quality worth the price. One of the best proteins.

Iveta Alexandrova

The taste is great, goes well with milk or water.

Choc peanut is good but I prefer Belgian chocolate, just a matter of personal choice.

Simply love this product I've been advocating for ages! Fab Job PHD! 😁

Yes it tastes nice 😋

SIMON DUFFY

Good easy 2 drink with oat in the morning with water & ice delicious I say

Donna Innes

남친이 조아합니다 초코아이스크림 얼린맛이에요👍여름에 마시기 좋습니다 근데 로얄밀크티는 안나오나요????

동일중량에 프로틴이 이만큼 많이 들어가는 회사는 phd밖에 없어요. 다른 회사꺼 먹어보려고 해도 단백질 함유량보고 다시 phd꺼를 시켜먹습니다. 한국인들 2주정도의 텀을 두시고 phd꺼 시키세요! 이번해외배송은 일주일 걸렸습니다. 바닐라 딸기 쏠티드 카라멜 벨지언초코가 제일 맛있네요. 다음엔 민초와 화이트초코라즈베리도 먹어보겠습니다.!!!기대되요!!

Good product does what it says on the package

Roy McGregor

Very moreish, a must go to for peanut butter and chocolate lovers !

Not a nice flavour struggling to get through it

Christopher Gooderham

Perfect !!!!

Georgi Todorov

Product usually great, the wrong flavour inside the bag, contacted customer services disgusting no one responds to emails and can’t get through on the telephone,

Stephen Gray

This oach seems to be inferior for some reason... doesn't thicken like the last pack from PHD

Roger George

Protein are OK! But company,delivery and communication are complete Rubbish. More than 3 weeks still not received any of my orders from PHD Ebay official shop!!! Never again 😒

Marcin Gorny

Good, but the peanut flavour isn't very noticeable.

Richard Gibson

I have been using this diet whey for years and think it’s by far the best on the market. It’s got great flavour, mixes well plus it really helps me hit my daily macros and training requirements. On top of all that you can also do your bit for the environment by recycling the wrappers and packaging. Great for training goals and climate goal - winner!

I have tried other brands before and I am not gonna mention their names here but for the price I wish it was a bit better. Not much of peanut butter taste there. If its improved then I would buy it again in the future other wise its a No. Thanks

KHAWAR BHATTI

Very tasty, I mix it with my oats porridge for a yummy healthy and filling breakfast. Wish the consistency was a little thicker though.

On my 10th bag now , great product , helping me build muscle and cut in at the same time , Doing a year challenge on day 187 in a row , going out for a midnight run shortly Looking forward to the next 178 days

Andrew Hawes

The thickness of the shake was brilliant. Low calories and carbs. Ive just taken up exercise and wanted something quick to make. Taste was ok but left an after taste and made me feel a bit sick. But I'm putting that down to the flavour. I chose peanut chocolate. I thought as I like peanut butter it would be ok. But not for me. I will purchase a chocolate one next time.

Stuart Taylor

Really good and it is helping me to get back in shape and ready to spartan race next year thanks PHD

Ciro Capuano

I wish it wash more creamy thick and you don’t feel the peanut flavour

Really good for daily intake.

Anton Yushchuk

Very good would recommend

Peter Willdig

Tastes amazing, highly recommend mixing with porridge and topping with chopped pear and hazelnuts!

Chris Brown

Really easy to drink

Oliver Woodcock

Excellent product, excellent service. Arrived safely and quickly. Have bought three more flavours. Chocolate peanut flavour is spot on.

Great flavour, good smooth consistency, great for after workouts, such an easy way to increase my protein intake with low calories

Ally Fletcher

Great protein powder. Sometimes stays a little clogged and needs a longer shake. Otherwise a great protein powder.

I love it! Taste like a delicious smoothy from TGI Friday or something. I'm definitely going to buy again. Cookies and cream number 1 for me! Very happy

Very tasty and easy to use

JASON MITCHELL

They have changed the recipe which means less protein and more calories.. time to switch brands.

A staple for my daily protein target.

Saad Khayoom

“Cookies and cream”, “chocolate mint” best tasting protein powders on the market.

Smooth operation. Consistent. Reliable.

David Lambert

Best protein powder makes perfect shakes

Solid product, the only protein powder I use tbh.

Purchased cookies & cream - love PhD diet whey. Great tasting and helps with my diet when required. I mixed all 3 purchases together - great mix

mohammed mamaniat

Leigh Lidster

I am writing a review for all 3 products I purchased - cookies & cream, vanilla creme and salted caramel. All of them are great and nice tasting. Mixes well and they certainly work well for me as a balance for my health. Oh I’ve mixed all three together

Really yummy and filling. I drink it around 1PM, usually by the time i start to feel hungry. I wont feel my hunger till about 2:30PM. Usually by 1:30 i am starving i could eat a cow

Laurice Matar

Love it in porridge

Suzannah Kelly

not clumpy, great product, great taste

Best protein powder on the market

Great flavour definitely worth a reorder

matthew knox

Great flavour and taste

Easily mixed in a liquid and not unpleasant to taste, I’m sure others may like cookies and cream which it does taste like but it wasn’t for me, I’m mostly a vanilla person.

timothy owen

Nice, but way too sweet.

Louis Hodgson-Galvani

Probably the best about.

Ciaran Fallon

Good quality, tasty protein

SUSAN FLYNN

Good quality

Love the flavour of the salted caramel diet whey, adding it to porridge and yogurt-yum!

Really good protein

This product tastes great and is always top quality.

Jason Jones

Mixes easily, zip bag a little difficult to close but happy overall.

Andrew Taylor

Highly recommended

Salted caramel protein whey is the bomb! Best I've tasted!

Nice flavour , mixes well , really happy

All good 👍🏼

Great taste, mixes well.

Sue Doughty

Bit too sweet

Used multiple times. Strawberry is by far the nicest flavour for me. Also tried salted caramel and banana and both are very nice. No issues

All flavours taste amazing ain’t had a bad one yet

Anth Jefferson

By far the best product and it comes in a 2kg pack. I would prefer the range of flavours to come in 2kg packs instead of 1kg packs as better value for money

Catherine Golding

Flavour is great

Fast delivery and good quality.

Does the job!

Perfect product always happy to order phd

James Borrow

Love this protein. Has to be the best tasting on the market.

Good price vs quality ratio. Taste good and is actually digestible, no runs. PhD products were recommended by good friend.

Armantas Cerniauskas

does the job

Kieran McBeth

A trusted product, i use it all the time..

Jason Gould

If you need a diet whey look no further. Great taste, mixes brilliantly. Top notch product, salted caramel is my favourite.

Anthony Griffiths

Product is fine but taste gets a little old / much after a while. I’ll stick with vanilla next time.

Jose Garcia

로얄밀크티 아이원츄 리오픈해주세여

Delivery excellent, and taste is not too bad specially Choco and peanut, had the strawberry but I was not so keen on that, but cannot fault the delivery.

Carole Duffy

delia Hughes

Super product, good taste and texture.

Best tasting protein powder I’ve had, tried a few different brands now, but this is the best.

Donna O'Boyle

Great taste. Good value for money.

Love the thick texture. Strawberry banana and vanilla all really good flavours. Not tried others.

Susan James

Ordered the chocolate orange flavour and its tastes yummy! A festive feel, great for this time of year.

Taste is great!

good value product, easy to blend, everything as it should be

Lb Rotherham

I’ve been buying PHD diet whey for years. The strawberry is the best tasting, in my opinion. Nice consistency and mixes well.

Great taste. I mix it with alpro yogurt for breakfast which turns into a smooth thick texture.

Steph Faber

Love the taste

Love vanilla

Great Product

It tastes nice but if taken at night it keeps me awake due to the green tea extract having caffeine in it.

Fritzervanganglion

I am a man with few words. Love your prudence tho x

Stephen Wilkins

Product has a good flavour, mixes well with water or in smoothies. Lots of choice of products, this meets my basic needs for a good protein powder for a middling exerciser. Got good value by subscribing to a regular delivery, and that’ll stop me running out for a change.

Not as nice as the salted caramel but handy in a 2kg pack

It's a while since I bought he strawberry. Not quite as good as I remember but still tasty

The taste is great and the product works for me as it should. I've known some proteins to make me feel a little sick, and taste not so nice but this product has been my go tonfor years and I love it.

Brad Carling

Perfect product

Magda Galas

Really delicious to drink and thickens up well makes you fuller for longer

steven jones

Quality product all round gives me what I need. PhD might be for some a bit pricey but it's small down side to a product that, for me has the best quality, and taste.

Great value and tastes good.

Tasty and pretty healthy

Love the taste of strawberry diet whey when mixed with chilled water.

Easy on the stomach, high protein content for recovery and low in calories/sugar so great for maintaining preferred muscle mass.

tastes like strawberry cheesecake lol mixes well too early for results but value for money is there

Great taste and perfect consistency as not too thick and not too thin

Top quality and delicious flavour

I like the flavour Strawberry 🍓 Delight

Philippa Roine

Loving this for years ! Wont use anything else

Good. Bad package.

Delish flavour and good quality protein

Excellent as always

Very tasy and satisying, helping me to keep the fat away.

Delicious and nutritious

Thought it would be boring, it absolutely wasn't.

Adore this! Creamy and delicious! On a long work day I pop some peanut butter in too as an extra energy pop. Will always have some in my stock!

Love the flavour of this powder; versatile, makes a well-blended smoothie without grittiness and has a good level of sweetness.

Being over 40, I was struggling with my weight loss for the first time, although I go gym regularly. Since using this product, the weight is finally coming off.

Amazing taste and flavours! My new favourite supplement brand.

Excellent Flavour

mark henderson

Too thick and a bit heavy. Doesn't melt very well

Nice taste, mixes well.

Irina Mollokwu

I got the vanilla flavour and love it on its own, smoothies and oats

Mixes well, the taste is what you’d expect from vanilla whey-not too fake and not too sweet.

Love the vanilla crème flavour!

My go to product for cutting back after holidays. I'm type 2 diabetic and this doesn't spike my sugar levels and the flavours are very good. Also find a boost in energy - of course if hand in hand with exercise and better nutrition.

Its very sweet and quite synthetic but tastes nice in oats, i make overnight oats with 10g in and its good, but its not that great as a shake but thats just my preference but its high quality and mixes well

Leah Cooney

Really nice

Absolutely fantastic products which they were on offer more often 😀 😄

donna lanyon

Great product, i will purchase more from phd-nutrition. Fast delivery and great quality and low priced

Tony Greene

Excellent product and tastes great

Amanda Cordery

Tastes great, simple to use. Keeps me full for good amount of time.

Excellent product as always

Andrew Wiffen

Great to have the product on a monthly basis. It would be even better to have an option to edit so that you can change the products/ flavours as and when required.

Trevor Selvanayagam

Great taste and price

Darren Paul

Great taste(vanilla creme) and texture. Add it to my porridge, pancakes and protein drinks. Doesn't give me any stomach problems.

Great product, great price

First Class product together with a good price

Claire Oliver

sophie peikrishvili

I was worried it would be a bit too sweet, I don't even actually like white chocolate very much just wanted to try a new flavour, but it is such a smooth, neutral flavour it literally works with everything! My new favourite for sure :)

Anna Bojdan

Quality product, I make mine with cold skimmed milk, add 2 scoops of powder to 1 pint of Cold milk in a blender, it’s that easy.

Andy Hickman

Seems nice, tastes good and not to chalky, happy with that.

Great protein ,I mix 40g of protein with 500ml of water, add 3g of PhD Creatine. Works well 👍

I love this white chocolate Diet Whey! I’ve had several flavours but this is one of my favourites. I make it with oat milk and it tastes creamy. Great for keeping hunger at bay.

Love the taste of this

Amazing flavour delicious when baked in a cake

Nice flavour and good service.

Wayne Chancellor

Love it....mixes easily and tastes delicious 😋

This was on offer at a great price so was well worth it. The flavour is quite strong on the lemon. Powder mixes reasonably well. It blends well in a smoothie too and as its quite a strong flavour you don't need to use as much. Overall quite happy at the price I paid. good service and fast delivery from PhD. Thanks folks.

Unfortunately the flavour isn’t nice. The offer was great but I take it that the reason behind the offer is due to it not being popular?

Great product. Love the taste, mixes well in porridge or shakes. Will buy again!

Susan Ryder

Great product and great service 👍

Clive Tilbury

Tastes terrible. And doesn’t dissolve properly with water, when shaking. I wish I haven’t bought!

Alfred Balint

Really nice, best flavour I’ve had in the Diet Whey range

A very enjoyable change

Nicest flavour I’ve had to be fair.

Excellent product, one of the best flavours.

Great texture and taste

Love this flavour. PHD diet whey is amazing. Make it up with water, a quick shake and its ready to drinkZ leave it in the drink for a while and it really thickens up. Great flavours, really tasty

Suzanne Bullock

Good flavour, can be a little gritty compared to other flavours

Sophie Goodwin

A great taste .... lets have it as a standard flavour

powerbarandy

Excellent products, always mix well and taste really good.. Great delivery service.

Ilohna Mountford

Always fantasic quick delivery but the change of formula resulting in a watery consistency and slight artifical taste has got me thinking of going elsewhere.

Very artificial tasting and very watery... you have to use almost double the mix when using the recommended amount of liquid.

My favourite flavour, very delicious and great to use in baking protein muffins 😋

A bit rich for me, but still a nice product.

Luke Flacks

Horrible product. Never had such a bad stomach ache after any other protein powder. Tried to message customer service but been completely ignored. Put me off PhD products even though they used to be my favourite.

Not my cup of tea

Pleasantly surprised

Sort of an earl grey flavour, little bit too floral for me.

PhD Diet Whey Review

Used as a healthy snack between meals or a post-workout protein hit, this great tasting supplement is ideal for anyone looking to burn fat while building/maintaining lean muscle. Another excellent product from PhD Nutrition.

There are a few things in life which I find overwhelmingly mundane.

Washing up, baby photos, the Victorian era (it’s just too long), Hugh Grant, anything by Jane Austen…

Another is dieting.

It’s just so difficult to summon up the enthusiasm to eat couscous and carrots, day in, day out.

It’s comparable to someone confiscating all of your high-def niche pornography and forcing you to rub one out over an old oak tree instead.

It’s just not the same.

Having said that, during my last foray into dieting/cutting/getting spectacularly shredded, there was one oasis of flavour, one meal which I genuinely looked forward to guzzling down each day.

That was PhD Diet Whey .

Product overview

PhD Diet Whey Review

Essentially it acts as a healthy, low-carb snack alternative or a convenient source of protein post-workout.

Per serving, you’re looking at about 35g of protein (whey protein, milk protein concentrate, soya protein isolate), 7g of low GI carbs, and 2g of sugar.

This blend of ingredients helps keep you feeling full throughout the day and should help eliminate those pesky sugar cravings.

PhD Diet Whey also contains added nutrients to help boost fat loss and maximise performance and energy levels, such as green tea, CLA, l-carnitine, waxy vol and flaxseed.

Personally, I’ve never heard of some of those ingredients – they could well be made up:

Marketing Exec 1:   “Paul, how can we make this supplement more appealing?”

Marketing Exec 2:   “Have you tried making up a load of impressive sounding ingredients? They fucking love that.”

Marketing Exec 1: “What about… Waxy Vol?”

Marketing Exec 2:   “Bingo!”

Taste and texture

At the time of writing, PhD Diet Whey is available in five different flavours: vanilla, strawberry, Belgian chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate orange.

I usually opt for the vanilla flavour, which, although quite sweet, tastes tremendous.

So much so I found myself having cravings for it.

The shake mixes well with no lumps in sight, but it is a little grainy, which is apparently due to the flaxseed.

I blended it with semi-skimmed milk (always tastes much, much better than with water) and would often throw in a banana or some other frozen fruit for a great tasting protein shake.

Effectiveness

Over the course of a month, I lost quite a few pounds, ‘leaned up’ considerably, and felt much more energised during training  while using this supplement.

This was alongside three weightlifting sessions and three HIIT  cardio session per week, as well a wholesome low-carb  diet .

Obviously, it’s paramount that you use PhD Diet Whey in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle.

If you just spend all day sitting in your pants, playing Grand Theft Auto and eating Belgian buns, this shake is not going to help you lose weight or gain muscle.

The ‘slow release protein blend’ definitely helped to eliminate any cravings I normally have during the day.

Usually I hoover up every calorie in sight, with an appetite as indiscriminate as it is voracious, but PhD Diet Whey satiated this binge mindset considerably.

On a side note, PhD Diet Whey also digests very well.

Unlike a lot of other protein supplements that I have reviewed , it thankfully doesn’t leave a trail of toxic guff gas lingering behind you all day long.

So if you’re consistently smoking your other half out with volley after volley of noxious protein farts, this supplement should help ease tension in the relationship.

Value for money

The recommended retail price for PhD Diet Whey is usually £30 and £40 for a kilogram, which is a little steep in my opinion.

However, if you shop around online you can normally knock at least £10 off this price, making it much better value for money.

PhD Diet Whey is the ideal supplement for those looking to maintain muscle tissue while cutting down on fat.

It works perfectly as a low calorie snack between meals and/or post-workout protein fix, and helps keep those pesky sugar cravings at bay.

In addition, its great taste helps take the edge off those ineffably mundane diet plans.

All in all, another excellent product from PhD Nutrition.

Highly recommended!

Buy PhD Diet Whey

Typically cheapest place to buy PhD Diet Whey is here at Amazon where it normally goes for well below the recommended retail price.

If you’ve tried PhD Diet Whey and have an opinion on it, I’d love to hear from you.

Just hit me up with your thoughts in the comments section below.

Also, if you happen to find anywhere cheaper than Amazon, please get in touch.

Until then, stay strong and stay shredded!

What do you know about the credentials of the people who make this stuff?

Are they trained pharmacists/physicians or pretending like Dr Dre?

Henry

Not 100% sure, but I doubt they boast any expertise that sets them apart from the multitude of other supplement companies on the market.

They’ve just got a legit sounding brand name which conveys authority.

Just like ‘UK Best Kebab’…

Hey I just read your blog and found it really uplifting.

I’m quite miserable with my weight – I had two babies within 16 months then if things couldn’t get any harder developed gall bladder disease.

You can get it cheaper at dolphinfitness.co.uk.

£32 for a 2kg tub!

I’m seeing it for £37 – regardless that’s still a good price 🙂

Discount Supplements standard price £29.99 for 2 kilos, but wait until end of the month and you get 20-25% off, works out at £12 per kilo.

Hi, I’ve lost a load of weight this year and am now looking to lose the last bit and tone up.

Is this the correct supplement to use if I have it as my post-workout snack?

Yes, PHD Diet Whey should definitely help you tone up and lose weight, provided your diet and training are up to scratch 🙂

Why is the cookies and cream no longer available

' src=

I am a Gym Instructor at a female only gym and with it being the new year have just started a massive health kick.

I have always struggled to find a protein that I enjoy as I hate milkshake and this is all they remind me of!

However I have just started on the Belgium Chocolate PHD Diet Whey and I am so impressed I love it!

I also find myself craving the shakes and I normally have a sweet tooth for chocolate and haven’t touched a single bit since I started on the shakes.

If I have a heavy training day I do not use it as a meal replacement but I use it in-between to stop cravings and snacking and it does exactly that.

I am now currently recommending this product to all my ladies at the gym as it is fantastic!

Great to hear from you!

Haven’t tried the Belgian Choc flavour myself, but will definitely give it a go after reading your comment.

Nice to see you’re getting some good results too 🙂

' src=

I’ve been cycling supplements for years and used to be PHD all the way.

Then I found Optimum Nutrition and never looked back.

But then Diet Whey by PHD was on offer so I bought a couple and I wish I hadn’t.

I found the vanilla flavour one of the worst tasting, bad mixing blends I’ve ever had.

Even worse than the cheap stuff.

Tastes like it has some synthetic thickening agent throughout – yuk.

So back to Optimum Nutrition we go.

Ps. If you head over to PHd-fitness or Monster Supplements you see that PHD win pretty much every award going.

What they don’t mention is that both PHd-fitness & Monster are owned by PHD.

Funny that.

Gotta disagree with your comment about the vanilla flavour.

Personally I find it delicious, but then I guess everyone’s different.

I also love Optimum Nutrition – have you tried their Gold Standard Whey ?

' src=

Definitely agree vanilla flavour tastes awful.

Also, on the back of the pack, it says you have to mix it with ice cold water, I thought I’d give it a try anyway, but it just doesn’t blend unless its either ice cold or straight out of the (very) cold tap.

Just bought PHD Diet Whey from Holland and Barrett.

They’ve got a sale on – 1kg bag £24.99.

Get yourself down there!

Hi Dane, thanks for letting us know!

£14.99/kg now!

Just bought this PHD Diet Whey, have not yet got a diet plan.

I need real help never dieted before and now I’m ready to do so.

Any tips or advice would be great.

Hi Darren, try this article as a starting point, and let us know how you get on!

' src=

Hi, been using PHD Whey Diet for 2 weeks now and love it – white chocolate and strawberry delight my fav.

Using it 4 x a day, 1 scoop in the morning, 1 scoop pre work out (30 mins before), 1 scoop post work out, and 1 scoop before bed (1 hour before).

Holland and Barrett – buy one get one half price.

Hi Louise, thanks for letting us know about that deal.

Good luck with your training!

Hi, I’ve been recommended to try PHD Diet Whey to help shift a bit of extra fat/weight but maintain where I am at the moment (which I am sort of happy with) and the reviews seem good.

I eat fairly healthy, currently cut out processed and junk to help me.

But would I use this as a meal replacement (for 2 meals for example) OR would I continue to eat 3 healthy meals and drink in between as a snack OR use pre-workout and post-workout?

I want to buy this but just no where explicitly says when/what times to use it?

PHD Diet Whey is first and foremost a supplement – that is, something to complement your daily diet as a healthy snack between meals or as a convenient post-workout protein fix.

But it can, by all means, be used as a meal replacement.

However, I wouldn’t make this a habit.

Do it at your discretion and make sure you’re still meeting your daily macros.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions.

' src=

Could you tell me the best times to take this as I’m training at 5am, so would like to know whether to take before or after training?

Hi James, I would use it after the morning workout to help your muscles repair and rebuild.

So long as you have replenished your glycogen stores with carbs the night before you should be fine with little food before your morning workout.

But don’t train completely fasted – I usually have a little snack to help me alleviate hunger.

Also, don’t get too hung up on when to take protein shakes.

Timing isn’t really relevant provided you’re meeting your macros throughout the day.

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any more questions.

' src=

I bought the PHD Belgian Choc flavour which is yummie, gonna try the strawberry flav next.

When I started bootcamp on 7th Jan been drinking it since and in 10 weeks have lost 43lb in weight.

I have 2 a day and one evening meal…

Awesome stuff Michelle, congrats with your weight loss 🙂

GNC PHD Diet Whey, it says buy a 1KG bag and get one for £1, but it actually just knocked £23.59 off the total price.

Not bad though.

32.79 for a 1KG bag.

Got two bags for £41.99.

Better than H&Bs prices anyway.

Hi Karen, thanks for alerting us to that deal. Bargain!

' src=

Just a quick question, I have recently purchased the white choc and vanilla protein and I am looking to get leaner and more toned and lose a bit of fat also.

I have started training 4x a week with cardio and weights.

I am about 5.7 and weigh about 60kg stone but my goal is to tone up and lose fat, do you have any tips on when is best to take protein and how much I should take as I am a bit of an amateur lol?

Hi Georgia, there is no real optimum time to take a protein shake.

Take PhD Diet Whey whenever you like between meals, or as the very occasional MRP, to help you hit your daily macros.

A lot of people will take it straight after a workout as it’s a convenient way to get a quick protein fix to help your muscles repair and recover.

But a regular nutritious meal will also work here too.

' src=

OK, should I use Diet Whey as a substitute meal or a snack?

I’ve been spinning for the past 12 months and have recently started on the weight circuit to try and get a better more toned figure (6 pack abs would be nice).

I really started to see a difference in my body then I started on the white wine.

I drink a bottle of wine a night and as I own a bar, I finish work, come home and open a bottle of wine at midnight, drink it and go to bed.

All the sugars are lying in my stomach, hence I have gained a wine belly and love handles.

I know the wine has to stop for me to lose the flab.

My diet is a small bowl of Special K for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch (always on brown bread), then as a main meal in the evening it’s either salad or veg with either chicken or fish.

So would the Diet Whey be better as a breakfast or lunch substitute and used again after my workout?

Hi Mark, thanks for dropping by.

As you point out, your first goal should definitely be to cut out all that wine, as a bottle a night is definitely doing no favours for that six pack!

I would keep your diet as it is and introduce the PhD Diet Whey twice a day as a snack between meals.

This should top up your daily protein intake to above the RDA which will help with lean muscle gains – provided you are still killing it in the gym!

Good luck – and let me know if you have any more questions!

' src=

What would be the best time during the day to drink this shake?

Considering my aim is to lose fat and a little bit of weight, and I go to the gym 3-4 times a week?

Hi James, it doesn’t really matter what time of the day you take your shake.

Have it between meals or as a quick protein fix post-workout.

As long as you’re meeting your daily macros you will be fine.

' src=

What is the difference between PHD Pharma Whey and PHD Diet Whey?

I’ve never taken Pharma Whey, but it seems to chiefly comprise a protein blend with some added BCAAs and glutamine.

This is essentially a standard protein shake with a few added ingredients to help build muscle.

PHD Diet Whey, on the other hand, is geared towards people who are trying to loose excess weight and get lean, hence the added fat burning ingredients such as Green Tea Extract, CLA, etc.

Hope this helps buddy, good luck with your training and let me know if you have any more questions 🙂

Hiya Henry,

Great review and forum.

I’m 41, 5″10 bloke and weighed 16st 7 5 weeks ago.

Started using static exercise bike for 40mins 6 days a week before work with a mostly natural foods, low carb & fat, high fruit and veg diet.

Weighed today 15st 8.

I am going to start body weight resistance w/outs in the evenings after work, I really don’t want to pay a gym membership so am aiming to do varying push and pull ups, squats and core exercises at home.

I don’t want to bulk up like a bodybuilder but don’t want to lose muscle mass either.

Bought the Vanilla Cream flavour today, haven’t used it yet.

What/how would you suggest to use it to tone up, maybe add a little mass?

My diet plan is:

Breakfast 40g shredded wheat with a handful of blueberries & 125ml almond milk

Lunch is a warburton thin with some wafer thin ham and salad inc tomato and cucumber slices, a golden delicious apple and a satsuma, and possibly a mini baybybel light or a pack of snack a jacks.

Dinner is either grilled chicken breast with salad or grilled Mediterranean veg and some brown rice – or Quorn mince as a healthy bolognanse with some pasta and grilled veg.

Snacks are apples, satsumas, bananas etc.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for the kind words 🙂

Your diet seems fine, no need to change anything there.

You can take Diet Whey between meals as a healthy snack – this protein boost will help with lean muscle gains and the added ingredients should expedite fat loss.

However, from what I can tell, your workouts are what need stepping up a gear.

First of all, drop the steady state cardio and start introducing some high intensity interval training (HIIT) (read more here ).

Not only will these max effort bursts be more conducive to fat loss, they should also be a lot more fun.

So train harder and smarter, keep the diet on-point, BE CONSISTENT, and you should see some good results!

Hope this helps – let me know if you have any more questions!

Quality review… “wanking over trees” … winner!… lol

I use the strawberry delight – tastes the mutts nuts better than bsn syntha-6 and that’s the best tasting up until the Diet Whey, ad mixes well.

I’ve not used with milk as I prefer council juice for my shakes.

Price wise I’m currently paying 14-19 quid a kg depending on what offers are on – I’ve not yet paid more than 19 quid, most of the time it’s 15 quid a kg, just Google for current discount codes.

http://www.discount-supplements.co.uk – delivered within 4 days… free.

I’m not usually a fan of strawberry flavoured shakes, but I’ll be sure to give this one a go in light of your comments!

Best price I’ve found this week goes to Discount Supplements – they have a 3kg tub + 1kg bag for £42.99.

Looking to lose a few pounds and get leaner – 4Kg should do the trick! :p lol

Thanks for the heads up – I’ve bagged a lot of bargains at Discount Supplements, great store!

Good luck with the weight loss buddy.

Just found your site, looking around for the best shakes!

Interested in this PHD thing – like sound of white choc flavour!

I am 5.4 and 106 pounds – my sister’s wedding is 21 June 2014 – is it reasonable to say if I work out every day with beachbody DVDs, 3 times at my gym AND eat sculptress maxitone crunch bar for snacks and breakfast and PHD for lunch with main meal in evening – to lose 1 stone!?

With your experience is that even possible?

Really panicking now… don’t want to take pics looking like fat slob! Pls help!

Any ideas would be really grateful.

To make matters worse I got that ‘big booty’ thing going on complete with huge stomach!

What would you recommend I do?

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

Hi Veronica

I would recommend against using PHD Diet Whey as a meal replacement too often – you’re better off sticking to good, healthy, wholesome food for your nutrients.

You seem like you’re training well – so alongside a good diet PHD Diet Whey should help with your fitness goals.

Good luck with the wedding!

Hello, I have recently started dieting to loose a few pounds.

I don’t do a great deal of working out but I am fairly active, I spend most of my days in work walking around and lifting fairly heavy trays.

I also do a bit of running and hill walking after work.

I want to know if taking PHD Diet Whey will help me loose weight or benefit me at all?

My ultimate goal is to loose about 15lbs but due to a slight disability I struggle to carry out most workouts other than walking.

' src=

My thoughts: if you’re adding in this shake your adding in extra calories, which will gain you weight. Period (if no change in routine).

This is mainly for weight training where you need the high protein intake, but want the various fat burners, and other extras thrown in.

If mainly cardio and walking as you say… I suggest no.

To lose weight cut back calories, and if you want to try the added supplements, get a separate CLA supplement, green tea diet supplement, etc, separate.

This is still a protein supplement as its core. when you meed the extra in diet to hit the heavier needs when lifting heavy.

Flaxseed will actually really help – add to porridge in the am and throw it in foods.

Keep insulin levels low etc but this is for protein – at the end of the day with weight loss as an extra.

It’s not a standalone diet supp bud!

Thanks for chipping in – agree with your comments!

' src=

Hi, I wonder if you can help me.

I am currently on Herbalife meal replacement program – I have lost a good deal of weight but the price of the program is killing me!

I went I to Holland and Barrett to see if there is an alternative and the lady suggested PHD Diet Whey.

Scrolling through the comments you have said not to use it as a meal replacement but that’s what the girl in the shop suggested.

Has she given me the wrong advice – and if so what would you suggest as I’m trying to find shakes to replace my current ones 🙂

Hi Sheralea

Firstly, thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment, it’s much appreciated.

Using Phd Diet Whey as an MRP very occasionally for convenience sake is absolutely fine – however, as I’ve said, I 100% wouldn’t advise on making this a habit, as at the end of day it’s a supplement and shouldn’t be substituted for real food.

Herbalife and all MRPs in that vein are simply not a sustainable weight loss option – and they’re certainly not good for you either!

Yes, you may loose weight at first, but that’s because you’re starving your body of calories!

As this is simply not sustainable, you’ll soon revert back to old habits, and pile the weight back on instantly.

Stick to wholesome, nutritious food where possible and use the diet whey as a snack/post-workout shake to top up your daily protein intake for muscle repair and growth.

Provided your diet is on-point and you’re training hard (and smart) in the gym, this supplement, with its protein and added fat loss ingredients, should definitely help you loose weight and lean up.

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any more comments.

Hi, is it true that a chocolate flavoured whey will take the percentage absorbed into the body down by a good 7-10% as opposed to any non chocolate flavours?

Or is this just bull to get the other flavours that don’t sell as much to look more appealing?

It’s nonsense IMHO.

Check the calories as they will vary on flavour.

Chocolate benefit is, well I’m talking about real dark coco, helps reduce stress.

Less stress means less cortisol and we all no what that does (for any newcomers it breaks down muscle and thus wont help fat loss. Opposite.)

But ‘chocolate’ here won’t be that anyway.

I find it tastes bad.

I would prefer it without the sweetener, but that’s mad talk, it’s flavouring.

So, yeah, if that’s pushed, possible sales jargon.

Noted the ones always on mega sale are always the bad flavours when it comes to protein bars.

The real fat burners are your legs bro.

Go work them out – right now.

Stop missing leg day, you know I’m right.

Hi John, that’s a crock of fucking shite.

Been on Cyclone for 7 months and had some really excellent gains from that (as well as clean eating and hard lifting 5 days a week).

Read your Cyclone review which I found helpful.

Anyway with Cyclone it’s quite high in calories.

Decided to go for PhD Whey Diet… 37 quid for 2kg tub from Amazon.

And noted you done another top review after!

They are always a good read.

Anyway I noticed:

1) Coming off Cyclone (laced with insulin spiking Dextrose) to this I find the taste of Belgium chocolate revolting. OK granted, no sugar, but it’s thick, sticky, full of sweeteners.

Belgium chocolate? More like Uzbekisthan chocolate… after its been rubbed on someone’s armpit… the smell also.

2) I have to use 600ml of water (double suggested) to get the 2 scoops shaken in, then it’s like swallowing goop.

My routine post workout is banging my shaker on the wall to try and mix it.

OK, I can do it, I can drink it… man up… but man it’s hard vs Cyclone chocolate, a little chocolate treat vs this, armpit tasting.

Anyway saving cash given no need for any green tea or cla etc.

I’m used to heavy dextrose so many may not be.

It beats a protein I brought in the USA that made me vomit in my mouth once.

3) Use of the word ‘whey’ is … well interesting given it is heavy in slow releasing caesin and soy proteins… not exactly whey isolate, but I get it, slow release for meal replacement and slower sustained catabolic protection (vs Cyclone smash to your senses roooaaarrr).

This is more slow burn protein release sustained yadda yadda.

But boring right… 6 meals a day… I want glucose post workout not flaxseed…

Calories are however way down on the change.

It’s working, but I wont stay on this, I think there is better on the market (or just go with a true whey isolate and pasteurised egg white mix).

It’s saying something but I would take egg whites over this shake flavour.

But keep the reviews and feedback coming.

Bro love in the room, happy growing all!

Thanks for the kind – and entertaining – comments!

I have to say I’ve never had an issue with the taste of PHD Diet Whey (it’s great IMO), but then again I’ve had some truly awful tasting shakes in my time – the kind that make Pete Doherty’s ballsack taste like something rustled up by Heston Blumenthal…

' src=

I’m considering buying this to help with weight loss and toning but I was wondering if there’s any exercises you’d recommend for loosing stomach and thigh fat?

What I’ve been doing hasn’t made much of a difference.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your comment.

Try introducing some HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) into your workouts – a much more effective way of losing body fat than LISS (Low Intensity Steady State Cardio).

More info here: http://www.gym-talk.com/the-death-of-low-intensity-cardio/

Good luck – and do let me know if you have any more questions!

I have just got this product and have started to use it over the last week.

If I am doing 3/4 weight sessions a week and 3 cardio based sessions such as swimming, then just wondering when is best to take this shake and which days?

Should I be taking it on cardio session days as well or just weight training days?

Someone said to me to take one shake every morning including any rest days, and take a second shake post workout on weight days.

Is this correct?

It’s a good idea to take a shake post-workout (whether that’s cardio or weight training) as this provides a quick, convenient protein fix which well help your muscles repair and recover.

Other than that, don’t get too hung up on when to take your shake, as the timing is not that important.

Use it as a snack between meals – or as the occasional MRP – to top up your daily protein intake.

Hope that helps – let me know if you have any more questions!

I don’t know what is the best place to buy PhD?

I found some good deals on eBay but I am not sure if that is genuine dealers or no, the dealer name is phdfitness which is based in Hull?

I don’t have much experience buying from eBay, but I’m sure if the seller has positive feedback you should be fine.

Have you tried Amazon?

That’s usually where I find the best deals.

Just got some 1kg of this in white chocolate and am just not sure about when the best time to consume this is, should I have it early morning, lunch time or before my workout?

My workouts are normally late afternoon/evening.

Monday – Soccer Training Tuesday – gym session (dumbbells and cardio) Wednesday – Soccer Training Thursday – Circuit Training Saturday – Soccer Training Sunday – gym session (dumbbell and cardio)

I would take a shake after your workout for a quick, convenient protein fix and once or twice throughout the day between meals.

As I’ve said before, don’t get too hung up on what time of day to take the supplement, look at the bigger picture and your daily protein intake.

Hope that helps – and let me know if you have any more questions!

I currently take Myprotein whey isolate but I am looking to purchase something else so am seriously considering PHD diet whey.

I noticed it contains CLA and l-carnitine.

I currently take these two supplements in the forms of capsules 3 x a day.

If I have PHD diet whey post workout (3 shakes per week after lifting) am I still able to supplement CLA and l-carnitine daily?

First off, why are you thinking of changing supplements?

If it’s because of taste or price, that’s fine, but if it’s down to lack of results I would suggest taking a closer look at your diet and training plan.

PHD Diet Whey is basically just a whey protein shake with added fat loss ingredients, which it seems that you are already supplementing your diet with?

' src=

Hi, I’m 38 and weigh 13st 5lb, and have a stomach that needs to go.

I have been using PHD Diet Whey for 3 days now and it tastes pretty good, it’s the first time I’ve tried anything like this so my body is just getting used to it.

I have a few questions that I hope you can help with, now what I’m about to say is not an excuse but I honestly don’t get a lot of time to go to the gym, I work as a prison officer so am on my feet from 0500-2130 when my gym is closed until I get home and I do this 4 days a week.

My shifts vary which is a nightmare to stick to any type of routine and sometimes don’t get to eat at all, which is why I’ve started to do this shake thing so at least I’m getting something good into my body.

So at the moment I’m having a shake in the morning, a lunch time meal, and shake when I get home, the only reason I have a shake when I get home is that it’s really too late in the evening to eat as I would go to bed with all the shitty food laying on my stomach.

Based on this info is it OK to do what I’m doing or is just going to do more harm than good to my body?

When I’m working nights (every 3 weeks) I have started to use the gym at work, but during my day shifts it’s impossible to use.

Could you advise on what I should do in the gym as I’m probably doing it all wrong, sorry for the long message but really need help.

Thank you very much.

Hi Kevin, thanks for your comment.

I know this is probably not the advice that you want to hear, but if you’re not getting much exercise into your routine, then using protein supplements is only going to add calories to your diet, not to mention throwing money away.

You’re better off eating wholesome meals and, when in the gym on those rare occasions, making the most of your time by employing full body routines comprising the main compound lifts (bench, deadlift, squat) – don’t waste time with pointless isolation exercises.

Hi, first off… great review!

I’m 38 and my current weight is 10st 12lbs.

My goal is to try and lose some belly fat and tone up my arms and chest (moobs!).

I have been using PhD Diet Whey for a week now and am enjoying using it along with having healthy meals and exercise 5 times a week.

I am a complete novice to diets and exercise so my question is am I going about things the right way?

My typical routine is this….

Breakfast: PhD Diet Whey shake, to which I add a choice/mix of any of the following… fat free Greek yogurt, low fat coconut milk, squeezed grapefruit, blueberries, raspberries, kale, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon.

Lunch: Egg white omelette with turkey, spinach and sprinkle of cayenne pepper/carrot and lentil soup with wholemeal bread, apple or fat free bio yoghurt.

Snack: Handful mixed nuts/apple

Dinner: Wholemeal pasta with chicken and brocolli/jacket potato with tuna salad/Quorn veg chilli with wholemeal rice/baked fish with veg and pots etc… followed by fat free greek style yoghurt with nut granola and raspberries

Late snack: Post workout PhD Diet shake

I have been doing a 25 min high intensity kick boxing cardio workout 3-4 times a week and upper body resistance band exercises twice a week.

So should I be ok with this or should I be doing things differently for better results?

Many thanks 😉

Hi Stuart, thanks for your comment!

That’s an excellent program – I would definitely expect you to see results from it provided you are consistent with everything.

The only change I would make is to up the intensity of the resistance work – adding in some full body workouts comprising squat/deadlift/bench should accelerate gains nicely.

Good luck buddy – let me know how it goes!

I’ve just purchased the Belgian chocolate flavour diet whey and it is lush!

I’m near the end of the insanity programme and although I’m a lot fitter, sadly I have had no changes on trying to lose my belly.

Any advice on diet, exercise and diet whey would be very much appreciated.

I’m 4ft 10 and approx 6 and a half stone.

Just need to lose my belly after having kids.

I’m not familiar with the Insanity workout – but, like I prescribe for anyone trying to tone up and loose weight, any regime comprising compound exercises with HIIT should do the trick.

If you’re consistent with this routine and are still not seeing results, then you’re problem, I presume, lies with your diet.

No routine – no matter how taxing – can out-train a poor diet.

Apart from the obvious, make sure you are consistently sticking to unprocessed foods and avoiding high glycemic foods and starchy/sugary carbs.

Hope that helps – let me know if you have any more questions 🙂

Hi, I would like to get some help please.

I have just got the Diet Whey and I am woudering if it helps people loose weight who are overweight?

If you are aiming to loose weight and tone up, then yes, Phd Diet Whey, as a dietary supplement, can help with your goals.

However, as I’ve said many times before on this comments thread, it is not a magic pill.

Above everything else, you need to bee putting in the hours in the gym and adhering to a disciplined diet.

Then, and only then, will you see results.

If you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to ask 🙂

' src=

Hi, I’ve just bought the Diet Whey shake.

What sort off food would be good to use for evening meals to loose weight please?

I’d like to loose 2 stone and really tone up.

You can never go wrong with natural, unprocessed foods and lots of fruit and veg.

Also, as I’ve mentioned above, try and avoid starchy, high glycemic foods, as these will soon send unwanted weight to your waistline if you’re not burning it off.

And remember to avoid junk food and alcohol as much as possible!

Let me know if you have any more questions 🙂

' src=

I can pick it up locally for 2×500 for £20 or a 1kg tub for £21.

I’m a very petite girl, I am 5 ft one weighing 7 stone 5.

I am not all bone but just a just right average figure, I want to really tone my abs up!

I am very much a gym freak!

I go every day doing diff stuff from interval training on the treadmill, spinning, cross trainer or general running outside.

I do 10-20 min abs a day.

If time is on my side I’ll do dumbbell workout too, usually two-three times a week.

I eat healthy, and have my one cheat day a week where I go crazy!

This doesn’t effect me and keeps me on track and motivated!

I sit in the bike in the gym thinking about Saturday nights pizza and chocolate brownie!!!

Sounds like you’re absolutely smashing it in the gym – great job 🙂

You’ve got my stomach rumbling with all this talk of cheat meals…

Oh my whole comment didn’t show or the question haha!

Basically with all the gym and how much I do weights (not everyday) would this protein be right for me?

I am worried I’ll gain weight, and can I take this as a pre-workout drink as my job is hard and that’s all I can do at times.

Increasing protein intake will help your muscles repair/recover after exercise – so supplementing a healthy diet with something like PHD Diet Whey will help you with your goals.

As I’ve mentioned above in the comments, just remember this is a supplement and you should really avoid using it as an MRP.

Make sure you are filling your diet with lots of whole foods, complex carbs, fruit and veg, etc – and use this diet whey as a snack between meals and post-workout for refueling.

Regarding your last question, this is not a pre-workout supplement – if you’re looking for something to perk you up before exercise I would simply recommend good old caffeine.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi, I started the gym last week.

I’m a student nurse so get a lot of stress and would drink 3-4 nights a week.

Well I have started the gym:

I go Mon, Wed, Fri at 6.30am for an hour workout:

30 mins interval style cardiovascular 5 mins on bike as warm up plus stretches 10 min speed interval on treadmill 5 min row machine, 15 min speed interval x trainer

I then do resistance/strength training on push/pull/core and leg muscles.

There’s 8 resistance style machines in use to work my whole body

10 squats x 3 Push up ups 3 x 4 reps Ab crunch with a ball 10 x 3

I was recommended to use a Whey Diet as I’m 16 stone OMG!!

Is it a good idea to take it as I have cut alcohol and added sugars etc out of my diet?

Upped my fibre and protien intake and reduced my carbs and sugars.

Hi Lin, thanks for your comment.

From a cardio perspective your routine looks great – lots of high intensity intervals, which is the most efficient way to get fit and loose weight.

With regards to your weightlifting/resistance routine, I would cut out using the machines altogether and just focus on compound, free weight exercises instead (squat, deadlift, dips, pull ups, bench press, etc).

This will hit so many more muscle groups so much more effectively – yes, you will be working harder, but your workout will be much more time efficient, cutting out all the unnecessary exercises.

Accompany this excellent weekly routine with lots of whole foods and PHD Diet Whey to help with protein intake/recovery, and you’ll be well on the way to smashing your goals 🙂

Let me know if you need any more advice.

' src=

I’m thinking about starting to use PhD Diet Whey – could I use this as a meal supplement as in just have this instead of meals?

If not any advice you can give?

I would definitely recommend AGAINST using a whey shake such as this as a meal replacement.

This is a supplement and should be used as such – i.e. as a healthy snack between meals or to quickly refuel post-workout.

Eat healthy, wholesome food and supplement where appropriate for a little help with reaching your goals.

By all means use PHD Diet Whey as the very occasional MRP when eating a meal is not possible, but avoid this as much as possible.

Hi, my name’s Gill.

I’m young 34 lol I weigh 10 stone & I’m 5ft 10inch.

I workout 6 days a week from 7.30am until bout 11am.

My workouts are a mixture of 1hr cardio, weight training & squats, pulley squats, etc.

I have currently started on Matrix Diet Whey shakes, usually have 1 on route jogging to gym in the morning & 1 after I jog home.

Do you think I should be having more?

I have a healthy clean diet too… advice plz

Two shakes per day in addition to regular, high-protein meals is more than enough.

If you’re looking to build lean muscle, then, as a guide, you should be aiming for 1.5 grams of protein per lb of goal body weight.

Hope that helps – let me know if you need any more guidance.

Hi, I’ve got an under active thyroid, can I use this to help me loose weight as I go running, spinning, weight lifting.

I’m 5ft 4 in, currently 12 stone, being trying hard to shift weight since Jan, couldn’t quite understand why I was gaining weight, and am up 12 stone from 10st 9lbs, then realised my problem .

Unfortunately an underactive thyroid can make it very difficult to loose weight.

From conversations I’ve had with others suffering from hypothyroidism, the paleo/caveman diets can be very effective.

More information here:

http://www.gym-talk.com/living-primal-paleo-insights-with-ben-law/

So before messing around with protein shakes, I would give this approach a go and see how you find it.

' src=

I’m doing my workouts every morning before my oatmeal breakfast after a cup of black coffee, and fasted cardio once a week, and also my eating habit is completely vegetarian.

I bought Diet Whey today and my question is, should I keep eating my snacks as an apple and drink the protein as well?

Or skip the snacks as fruits and drink the protein?

Don’t skip anything – use PHD Diet Whey as a supplement to what you’re eating already.

' src=

I’m currently in the gym mixing weights with cardio, been at it 3 months now, I do 35/40 mins per day and so far all natural.

I’ve noticed a great change in my shape.

I’m now looking to build lean muscle rather than bulk – so more defined/toned than bulky.

What’s my best option now with a supplement to enhance growth/performance?

Thank you so much for you help,

If your goal is to get lean and ‘ripped’, then your diet will be the biggest contributing factor (alongside, ideally, a routine comprising compound lifts and HIIT).

As a rough guide, ensure you are consuming approximately 1.5g protein per bodyweight pound and gradually dial down your carb intake, especially High GI and starchy carbs, while making sure you are consuming lots of healthy fats.

Supplement-wise, go for any whey protein shake which will help you top up your daily protein intake.

Also, something like PHD Diet Whey – which has added ingredients to expedite fat loss (CLA, green tea extract, etc) – would be helpful.

Tick all these boxes, rest and sleep well, be consistent, and you will reach your goals.

' src=

I’m a 20 stone 38 year old, a little loss isn’t what I’m after.

I’ve just joined a gym but have no idea where to start nutrition wise.

Obviously I’ve cut out the bad stuff but what would you recommend as a starting point?

Using the PhD diet whey?

My issue is that all the websites etc to help people get fit focus on toning up a little or getting rock hard abs etc whereas I need to start from the basics and there seems less advice for this.

Where do you suggest I start?

If you’re looking to build a healthy, athletic physique, I would start by increasing your protein intake.

As a guide, aim to consume, per day, 1.5g of protein per lb of body weight.

Whole foods like chicken, turkey, beef, eggs, fish are ideal – and by all means supplement with a whey protein shake between meals to help you hit this target.

Also make sure you are consuming lots of healthy fats (Omega-3s from fish etc) – aim for about 0.5g per lb of body weight.

Carbs are a less important nutrient – indeed there are not, in fact, any essential carbs.

Where possible stick with complex carbs such as oats, wholewheat pasta, rice, vegetables and gradually dial down your carb intake from about 1.5g per lb of body weight to 0.5g over the course of 4-6 weeks.

The important thing here is to gradually lower carb intake – if you suddenly drop carbs altogether your body will go into emergency mode and put it’s most vital stores on “lockdown”.

And, as fat protects the body’s vital organs, hanging onto fat stores becomes a foremost priority!

So, to summarise, consistently consume good quality protein and fats (avoid anything that’s been processed) while gradually lowering carb intake – and eat your greens!

This will maintain lean muscle while losing body fat.

Hope that helps as a starting point!

Thanks Henry, really appreciate the advice.

In terms of gym training what do you suggest?

I’ve read a lot about HIIT but so far have just been doing work on the treadmill with cycling and some basic weights to get me started but not sure whether the HIIT road would be better.

Any suggestions bearing in mind I’m new to all this 🙂

Unless you are training for an endurance race or genuinely enjoy steady-state cardio (there are some that like nothing better than a long steady run, me included!), then I would prescribe a strict diet of interval training, as it is the quickest, most efficient way to get fit and burn fat.

We’re talking hill sprints, track sprints, boxing, spinning, etc, etc.

Combine this with a weightlifting routine solely comprising the basic compound lifts (squat, deadlift, pull-ups, rows, dips, bench), as these are the only exercises you will ever need to build muscle and strength.

As a starting point, I would recommend a beginner friendly routine such as:

http://www.gym-talk.com/arnold-schwarzeneggers-golden-six-routine/

http://www.gym-talk.com/reg-park-beginner-routine/

http://www.gym-talk.com/stronglifts-5×5/

I work in IT so basically sit on my fat arse fixing computer problems.

Decided to try this out, I am a regular gym goer and do decent amount of cardio by playing squash as well as gym every week.

It’s been one day so am hoping after few weeks I notice a difference.

What should I be doing the gym in addition to playing squash and having this shake?

In the gym you should exclusively focus on the main compound lifts – squat, deadlift, bench press, pull-ups, dips, rows.

These are the most efficient exercises and the only ones you will ever need to build muscle.

Forget about isolation and ‘vanity’ exercises, such as curls, lateral raises, and all those other gym rat favourites, as you will simply be wasting your time.

In addition, if your goal is to get lean, I would add in some more high intensity cardio sessions a few times per week, such as sprinting or boxing, in addition to playing squash.

This should help – but let me know if you have any more questions.

I tried a Herbalife shake for a 3 day trial, but found the reps way too obsessive about super exercise and clean eating.

I go to spin every lunchtime during the week and do park runs at the weekend with bike ride.

Am now aiming for 2 full body strength training sessions to compliment.

I need to lose about 3 stone, and thought this might work as a half meal replacement for breakfast, adding in a few almonds and banana.

I’ve had the strawberry which I liked and then bought the Cherry Bakewell and Belgian Chocolate.

The cherry is very thick and I used about 300mls of water… the chocolate is better, though strawberry is still my favourite.

I bought from Monster but will try to get it cheaper elsewhere… loved your review.

Incidentally, I have IBS and found that the Flaxseeds in this help tremendously… I was a little worried as in the past they made things worse.

Hi Heather, thanks for your comment.

With all that cardio and strength training, I should think your bang on track to some excellent results!

Let me know if you need any help or have any questions 🙂

I’ve been using the PHD whey bars as recommended to me, I was just wondering what your thoughts on them were please?

Would I be better off with the powder or carry on with the bars?

I’m doing exercise 5 days a week, including kickboxing, interval training, squash and weights/gym.

Thank you in advance.

As far as I’m aware, there’s not really much difference in content between the shake and the bars.

Bars are great for convenience, but it’s much more cost-effective to use shakes.

Let me know if you have any other queries.

Hi Lucy, thanks for letting us know, a real bargain!

' src=

I’ll make the point first that I am definitely no gym buff or diet expert.

However, I have been using the Belgian Chocolate one since Jan 2015 and it is fantastic.

I use it soley for a post-workout protein boost, but I find this is one of the best supplements I have tried.

Taste and texture are phenomenal.

It tastes like a chocolate milkshake – tip, for a very filling boost on the go, throw some frozen vanilla yoghurt in there and blend (tastes like a McDonalds choc milkshake).

I also take PhD L-Carnitine and PhD StimFree Weight Management supplements, but this is only recent.

I attend the gym 3 times a week and I have lost (and kept off) 2 stone since March.

This is not a fad fat burner or diet plan, this is a lifestyle change.

The shake helps keep those cravings at bay, and used with skimmed milk is a healthy alt to a sugary snack.

I have found, though I am no expert, that this shake works best alongside HIIT training 3 times a week and general weight training 2-3 times a week.

Ive actually just recommended my partner to the PhD women’s stuff.

Now, as far as I know, PhD is studied by an R&D team as normal, and is endorsed by some randoms from Towie or Chelsea or something.

But it is by far the best on the market for dieting and trimming down and before I started it I had a friend who has a MSc in Health Nutrional Science look at it and asked my Doctor.

Plus it was recommended to me by every trainer in my gym.

It can be steep, but in comparison it wipes the floor and is well worth it.

Buy small then buy in bulk when happy.

Finally, I would say, everything I have tried of PhD is top standard, and I have tried things like Grenade, Myprotein and other protein supplements.

Hi Dan, thanks for your comment – glad to see you’re getting some awesome results!

I was told that if you use milk instead of water that’s just adding fat?

Hey, I just wanted your advice, currently have a whopping 7 stone to lose, I have cut my carb intake down and have just ordered PHD shakes in vanilla and just wanted to see if what I am doing with cardio and weights is even right and OK?

Monday – spinning Tuesday – in the gym squats, cross trainer, treadmill (1 hour) or spin Wed – kettlecide Thursday – spin Friday – insanity training (sometimes have missed this) Sat – Spin

Any help or tips would be fab, as I’m really determined and will literally take anything on board to achieve my goals xx

For you gym session, I would forgo the steady state cardio (cross trainer/treadmill) and factor in some more compound lifts, such as deadlift, dips, chin-ups, rows, overhead press, bench press, etc.

These exercises will give you a much better bang for your buck when it comes to building lean muscle and burning calories.

Other than that, provided your are consistent with your diet and training, you should see some great results with this regimen!

Hi this product sounds great!

I’m looking to lose fat/weight but keep my muscle and lean out.

I’ve been told if I want to lose weight I need to burn more calories than I digest so would this be good as a meal replacement (e.g. breakfast) AND after a workout as I workout about 5/6 times a week.

Personally, I would never recommend a using a protein shake as a regular meal replacement.

Instead, focus on getting all of your nutrients from real, wholesome food and supplement with a protein shake between meals to boost your daily protein intake, which is key to building lean muscle.

This, IMO, is a much healthier and sustainable approach.

Let me know if you have any more questions – and good luck with your goals!

Hi Sam, if you’re not exercising, then supplementing your diet is just going to add calories, and I would certainly never suggest replacing your meals with a shake as it simply isn’t sustainable long term.

Just focus on eating healthy, wholesome meals.

Old thread I know.

However I have been through all of the PHD diet whey flavours.

Strawberry is good, Belgium Chocolate brilliant, Mint Chocolate (fantastic), chocolate orange, not bad but got sick of it after 4 shakes.

Vanilla is awesome, Chocolate Peanut, hate it, it tastes of coffee, white chocolate is terrible.

Banana is nice, Cherry Bakewell is fantastic.

Best flavours: Cherry Bakewell, Belgium Chocolate, Mint chocolate.

I make flapjack/protein bars with it.

I am currently on a low carb diet, I take two PHD Diet whey shakes a day, as well as two low carb meals.

PHD diet whey is like having a gastric band fitted, stops me eating rubbish.

I am 43, menopausal, I lost nine stone, put on 21lb back, shifted most of it thanks to PHD diet whey, along with weight training three times week, running twice and eating properly.

You can buy it on Amazon for £16-£18 for 1Kg bag.

I have a cupboard with my four favourite flavours, and change flavours every time.

Hi Gail, thanks for your comment!

I haven’t tried all of the flavours, so I’ll consider your ratings when I put in my next order!

I’ve been going to the gym for a year four times per week.

The gym instructor told me that I should increase my protein intake, at least two scoops per day, if I want to lean my abs.

Is that the right amount?

I weigh 92kg, height is 1.83mt.

I found this deal online but I don’t know if it is worthy.

https://www.nutricentre.com/c-1368-phd-better-than-half-price.aspx

You need to look at your daily protein intake – not how many scoops per day.

Daily, I typically recommend 1.5kg of protein per pound of bodyweight.

So use whey protein as a supplement to help you hit this daily target.

Hi, you alright Henry?

Just need a little advice, I’m in a profession where I’m sitting down for about on average 7 hours a day 7 days a week in a car.

I’m in good shape but could do with losing a little bit of fat, therefore I’m eating healthy, roughly three meals a day:

• Morning – three boiled eggs and two toast. • Afternoon – brown rice, salmon, two boiled egg and salad. • Evening – maybe chicken and veg.

I normally take a protein shake after I train, weight training days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and occasionally Sunday.

Wednesday I play football so I count that as my cardio.

Roughly try and work each muscle twice a week.

Also I train in the evening after being sat all day.

I can see that my metabolism has started to slow down a little and therefore want to keep in top shape.

What else could I possibly do to trim down but at the same time gain lean muscle (size)?

• Age – 23 • Height – 5’9 • Weight – 10 st

Hi Jazzy, thanks for your comment.

Your diet seems completely on-point – provided you aren’t sneaking any sneaky sugary snacks in there!.

So, for starters, I would simply try upping the intensity of your workouts to get more bang for your buck.

Time to shock the hell out of your body!

For example, you could try: high-rep squats, prowler pushes, barbell complexes, farmer’s walks, heavy kettlebell swings.

These exercises should take you well out of your comfort zone and have you begging for mercy!

Give them a go and let us know hoe you get on!

I have recently started my PHD Synergy tub which I take post-workout only, being around 20:00 in the evening.

I go to bed around 23:00-00:00 every day and I noticed I have problems falling asleep and also don’t go into “deep” sleep during the night from the day I started this.

(I have taken 2-3 different days until now.)

I am wondering if any other people experienced this in the past?

Is it possible to be affected by the taurine included in the supplement keeping me alert and not falling asleep?

I can see on the tub that this supplement is recommended as post-workout but of course do not know how much time before bed time that would be!

Thanks Nemos

I don’t have any experience with PHD Synergy myself, but, far from disrupting your sleep, the added zinc and magnesium (much like ZMA supplements) should actually improve your sleep (or so the boffins tell us).

However, as with all ingredients of this ilk, and taurine, everybody responds differently, so I would advise listening to your body and to stop taking the supplement in the evenings.

' src=

I have just bought this product but not sure if I should take it.

As I cannot excersise due to ill health and I also take xenical fat binders along with carbblocker.

What do you think?

If you’re not exercising then supplementing is only going to add calories to your diet, so I would not recommend this product – nor as a meal replacement either.

Focus on getting everything you need from regular healthy meals.

phd diet whey macros

Hi, I know this post is pretty old now but just wanted to let you all know that I’ve just bought some in the Holland & Barrett penny sale, bought one lot and got the second for a penny… bargain.

I bought this because I’ve recently become vegetarian but struggling to stay awake, having to sleep in the day time which is very unusual for me.

I’m also anaemic so this new diet isn’t helping that much.

I need the protein that this offers to keep my energy levels up and I’m about to take up running and am in training for Race for Life (if my energy levels increase).

I wasn’t sure about this product but after reading your far-too-hilarious review, I’m feeling really hopeful now, so thanks for the tips, especially the milk one as wasn’t looking forward to mixing it with water!

Thanks for your comment Emma – and good luck with your race!

If ever you have any questions just get in touch 🙂

I’m approx 74kg, 5’7″, 40 yrs old, am eating five to six times a day and protein intake is around 150-170g per day.

My aim is to build muscle, I’m working on a four day split training sessions.

I am taking Phd Diet Whey just one shake daily straight after working out.

I am also doing around 20 mins bag work per day four to five days a week.

Will I build muscle and lose body fat with this regime?

All advice very welcome.

If you are consistent and don’t fall off the wagon then, yes, you will see results with this regimen.

Remember that strong muscular physiques are built over years not weeks or months, so please be patient.

But if you keep at it, you’ll be rewarded, I promise.

One important caveat, however, is that while a split routine will yield initial results (“newbie gains”), they are, in the long term, far inferior to full-body routines which have you hitting the main compound lifts multiple times per week, allowing you to progress much more efficiently in terms of size and strength.

Check out out some of our workout reviews for more info – and do let me know if you have any further questions.

I’ve just brought 2kg Phd Diet Whey from Costco for about £28 with a free shaker.

Bit gutted cos I brought a 1kg £32 from Holland & Barrett the day before.

I’ve only just started using it as I’ve put a lot of weight on due to medication for depression and bipolar.

I go to the gym every day, I do 1 hour plus cardiovascular and about 3/4 hr doing weights.

Hopefully in a few weeks I will start to notice a change in my weight and muscle mass.

If there’s any advice for me it would be much appreciated.

Also do you think I should take the Diet Whey before I go to the gym?

Hi Richard, thanks for stopping by.

The advice I would give to you is to make sure you’re getting the most from each workout and not just spinning wheels.

Cardio-wise, make sure you’re focusing on high intensity interval work (sprints, bag work, etc) which is much more effective at expediting fat lass and also more time-efficient.

With lifting weights, make sure you’re focusing on the main compound lifts (squat, deadlift, bench press, rows, dips, pull ups, etc) as they will give you much more bang for your buck in terms of strength and muscle gain – and will also burn more calories and help with fat loss.

Also remember that less is sometimes more.

Three decent sessions per week (with lots of time to rest and recover) will, long term, be much more effective than seven mediocre sessions every week.

Also, working out less will leave you more motivated to get back in the gym and you’ll probably enjoy your workouts a lot more.

Hope that helps – and let me know if you have any further questions 🙂

All the best with your training!

Hi I’m training for a triathlon so I am doing a lot of cardio but pushing myself hard but also doing a small amount of weights.

Should I be taking the Diet Whey as I would like to shift some more pounds?

Yes, any protein supplement will help with a strenuous regimen such as yours, as it’s an absolutely vital macro-nutrient for maintaining a healthy/fit body.

If your goal is also to loose some extra weight, then I would absolutely recommend PHD Diet Whey, as it has a heap of extra ingredients to expedite fat loss.

' src=

I was quite excited to hear about this product until I read that you punched a cat for staring at you.

I certainly hope that you got reported for it.

I didn’t get reported for that, but I did get reported for dropkicking on owl and then hammer throwing an otter over the roof of a local Burger King.

' src=

Recently I started going to the gym and I am thinking to buy this product.

Before I purchase this product I would like to ask you a question which makes me think to buy or not.

Nowadays I don’t have any weight problems also I don’t wanna get kilos and also wanna build a muscle body.

Do you think this product is the best to purchase to achieve my goal?

Thanks SAFA

Yes, supplementing your diet with added protein will aid muscle recovery and growth.

' src=

Which flavour tastes better then all?

Vanilla is the tastiest IMO

' src=

Can I take it 2 times a day?

Like for snacks after breakfast and before bed?

Or 1 time per day is enough?

As many as is necessary really.

Try to think in terms of meeting your daily quotient, which should be around 1 to 1.5g of protein per pound of bodyweight.

' src=

Hi, I’ve been taking the vanilla flavoured Diet Whey in a smoothie along with 2 bananas and coffee every morning for breakfast for over a year now.

It keeps my bowel regular after I had a bowel op over 2 years ago.

I look forward to taking it and miss it if I don’t have it.

I occasionally swap the bananas for blueberries omitting the coffee.

I’m 66 years old so the only exercise I do is walking but I’m always busy during the day.

Should I be doing more ?

I would always recommend more exercise – but if you’re doing as much as you can and eating well, then that is absolutely fine.

' src=

What do you know about the PhD meal replacement powder is that any good/good idea?

Or is it better to take the Diet Whey between meals as you previously recommend rather than replacing an entire meal with it?

I would always advise against relying on meal replacement shakes to lose weight.

They’re not a sustainable option and starve your body of essential calories/nutrients, which, more often than not, will send your body into an “emergency state” where it clings on to body fat instead of burning it.

Instead, take a protein shake, such as this one, between meals to get your daily protein intake to around 1 to 1.5g per pound of bodyweight.

' src=

Have just started my gym a month ago and used to earlier have my routine running and excercise.

Now I wish to go for good muscular body, I’m aged 27 years and weight is 88kg with 6 feet height.

Would like to know with your experience which PHD protein – should I opt for it to grow my muscles better and more strengthening?

Hi Dilawar.

Certainly – I would always recommend supplementing a diet with protein if your goal is to gain muscle.

' src=

Last year I lost 4 stone.

I walk at least 15k steps a day & count calories.

I’ve just started back doing work out DVDs yesterday.

30 Day Shred.

I’m 29, female & 10st 2, 5’6″.

I won’t be able to do the DVDs everyday, but I will be walking everyday.

I’m weaker now due to no strength training during weight loss.

I want to get my strength back, but not bulk up.

I need to lose sagging skin.

Is PhD for me?

Please & thanks

You need to engage in resistance/weight training – otherwise supplementing with a protein shake will not help build muscle.

' src=

Just purchased these shakes as a kind of kick start.

I have food issues, and believe me when I say I have tried every single ‘diet’ out there, and now after not being a club member of anywhere I am now heavier than when I gave birth to my daughter and my mind is a mess.

I don’t want to replace meals long term, just the odd one here or there or even replacing snacks and being more mindful of my eating and drinking overall.

I noticed on an earlier question you mentioned if replacing meals too often your body effectively shuts down and goes into shock.

My question is as someone who is fast approaching 40, what is a recommended amount of calories to be taking onboard?

Currently I exercise by skating 2/3 times a week and the odd gym session with weights when I have time.

There is so much info out there and my poor head is filled with so much misinformation on nutrition.

I’m desperate to get out of this awful cycle.

Personally, I would advise not getting too hung up on calorie counting or sticking to diets.

Just keep it simple – have three wholesome meals a day with lots of meat, poultry, fish, fruit and veg.

Avoid snacking on rubbish, drink lots of water, exercise regularly, and get 8-9 hours sleep every night.

It’s really as simple as that – you just need to be consistent!

' src=

I’ve just bought PhD Diet Whey (Belgian Chocolate flavour) to help me get a protein rich start to my day when I’m short on time.

Tried it for the first time today and not liking how sweet it tastes.

Any suggestions on how to cut the sweetness?

Add more milk/water to dilute it further.

Failing that, try a different flavour.

' src=

I’ve just picked up some of this stuff, haven’t tried it yet.

My question to you sir is this –

In times of desperation, what exactly is wrong with masturbating over trees?

Is there a law against it or is it simply frowned upon?

Many thanks

If you’re going to do it, at least choose something elegant like a Cherry Blossom or a mighty Oak.

' src=

It sells in Cosco with a shaker for £30 no vat.

Gotta love Cosco!

' src=

It’s been 2 days since I’ve started this protein shake.

I took the vanilla flavour as this was recommended.

It tastes amazing.

By the way I would like your opinion about my meals.

Breakfast I have the shake with fruits.

Lunch big plate of salad with something (like pasta with pesto and cheese only size of my hand).

And the evening maybe a fruit again with the shake or salad and the shake.

Gym I will start in 2 days, I was thinking to try to go 3-4 times per week if it’s possible because I don’t have a standard schedule.

Should I try to go more?

Btw apart from the vanilla do you suggest any other flavours?

Because I will get bored.

Can you tell me a little more about your goals first, what are you trying to achieve?

' src=

I could find it in Asda yesterday for £17.29/kg!!

Good luck!!

Thanks for letting us know!

Hi Henry, I’ve had a couple of packets of PHD Whey Protein in my cupboard for about a year but when I went to make a shake this morning, I noticed lots of black bits in it and it didn’t smell as good as it did when first opened.

The expiry date isn’t until October 2017.

I have the chocolate and vanilla flavours.

Do you think this is still okay to use?

I’m not sure if the black bits are weevils.

If it fails the smell/taste test I would personally bin it.

' src=

You’ve done the best informing report yet about this magnificent product it helped me a lot but had to stop during pregnancy because I read it’s not safe.

Do you have any idea if it’s OK whilst breastfeeding then?

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be OK, but consult a doctor if you’re worried.

' src=

Love it… been on this for 16 days whilst remaining quite active and before I’ve actually started proper jogging, hiit and training.

I use it twice a day with one main meal have lost shit loads of weight already.

Don’t feel hungry… love it!

Great to hear it, feel free to get in touch if you have any questions!

' src=

Hi how long in total did you use it as a meal replacement and what were your results 🙂

' src=

I am 63 and bought this to aid losing weight after reading this I think i bought wrong product.

I am on my feet all morning as a cook and are going to start on my rowing machine is this enough to lose weight?

To lose weight you simply need to be consuming less calories than you burn.

If this is adding calories to your diet, it will do the opposite…

' src=

Hi, I’m a keen cyclist & have been recommended PHD Diet Whey to supplement the calorie burn.

I don’t actually want to lose too much weight.

Ideally maximise the muscle building.

Not going for the Froome physique… more a sprinter physique.

Does this fit the bill?

Anything that keeps you away from a caloric deficit will stop you from losing weight.

If this shake is convenient for you, go for it.

And if you want to maximise muscle gain, lift weights.

First class Henry! Cheers.

No worries, glad to help.

' src=

This is by far one of the best reviews I’ve read.

You are wasted peanut shovelling and should write a book.

Loved the review!!

' src=

I bought 1 kilo bags from Holland & Barrett in the following flavours (which I believe is currently the full set!) for £13.49 per bag less 20% discount.

I haven’t tried them all yet but some of these flavours make me salivate before I’ve even tried them!

I think I’ve got a protein shake fetish, although there are worse things to have a fetish about.

I’ve lost five kilos this year, and the annoying bit of fat around my mid section is now just a memory.

I would put my progress down to weights, cardio and counting calories via my fitbit, and not down to phd whey protein, but I like to think that it has definitely helped along the line.

I used to add it to soya milk but that became expensive and finicky, so now I just add it to cold water.

The first two or three gulps were less creamy to the taste, as you would expect, but since then I’ve never looked back.

TBH like many on here I just love the taste!

Banana Strawberry delight Vanilla creme Chocolate and mint Belgian chocolate Salted caramel Chocolate peanut White chocolate and raspberry Birthday cake White chocolate Cherry Bakewell Chocolate orange Cookies and cream

Cookies and cream where show me???

Some of the links in our articles are from our advertisers.  Learn more about how we make money .

Whey protein is a popular supplement for the many out there who exercise or take their health and fitness seriously. It helps with building muscle, recovery, and provides essential amino acids that support your body in many of its functions. On the other hand, though, many whey protein supplements are high in calories and have a high sugar content. 

In comes PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein, which claims to be different than traditional whey protein powders. For starters, it has less calories and carbs than other protein supplements. It also consists of more CLA, flaxseed, and L-Carnitine than other options. This product is meant for increasing lean muscle mass while reducing body fat.

In this PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein review, we’re going to talk about what we found when we took a closer look at this diet Whey powder. We’ll go over what’s in it, how it tastes, who should use it, and more. Read on to find out if PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder is a good fit for you and how our review experience came out.

Whey protein - helps with building muscle

What Is PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder?

PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein is a protein supplement from PhD Performance Nutrition, the same producers as well-known testosterone booster PhD Test Matrix . PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein combines ingredients for targeting muscle building with those that support increases in energy and fat loss. It’s a high-protein, low-calorie blended supplement designed to help people reach their fitness goals.

PHD Diet Whey Protein

The idea is not to put on a lot of fat when you’re working on toning your muscles. PhD keeps the carbohydrates and calories low, but the protein high in a serving of its PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder. PhD adds other ingredients that boost energy, increase fat burning, and promote better digestive health.

How Does PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein Compare?

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder has 91 calories per 25 gram serving of the supplement. Traditional whey protein supplements often have anywhere from 110 to 160 calories per serving; for example, you’ll find 130 calories per serving in Bowmar Nutrition Whey Protein and 160 calories per serving in Gnarly Whey . The tricky thing to remember when you’re comparing protein powder supplements is to look at the serving size. They may not be the same.

PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein has less than 2 grams of fat and less than 3 grams of carbs per serving. The fat content and carbohydrates of other protein powders varies widely across the board. 

PhD sets their product apart by adding more of certain ingredients to help boost the effectiveness of their protein powder. So, let’s take a look at what’s in this protein supplement.

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder Ingredients

The ingredients in PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder add for extra muscle building, and fat burning power are CLA, flaxseed, and L-Carnitine. So, let’s talk about those and what they bring to the table.

  • CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) – CLA is an omega-6 fatty acid that has many benefits for your body. Research shows there may be a link between CLA and weight loss. It decreases the amount of body fat you have. Other benefits may include preventing cancer and type 2 diabetes, as well as heart disease. 
  • Flaxseed – Ground flaxseed improves your digestive system. It’s high in fiber and consists of omega-3 fatty acids. People use flaxseed to relieve constipation. It’s thought to lower the bad cholesterol level, too. 
  • L-Carnitine – This amino acid improves cognitive function and stimulates weight loss. L-Carnitine is said to convert fat into energy for your body. The fatty acids enter the mitochondria (power producer in cells), where they are burned to create an energy source. 

PHD Diet Whey Protein Chocolate Drink

PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein has 750 milligrams of flaxseed powder per serving. It also has 375 milligrams of CLA and 125 milligrams of L-Carnitine. 

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder Flavors

PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein comes in more flavors than most other protein supplement brands. Here’s a list of their inventive flavors:

  • Vanilla Creme
  • Belgian Chocolate
  • White Chocolate
  • Chocolate Mint
  • Lemon & Blueberry
  • Salted Caramel
  • Chocolate Peanut
  • Cookies & Cream
  • Chocolate Orange
  • Royal Milk Tea
  • White Chocolate & Raspberry
  • Birthday Cake

PHD Diet Whey Protein Flavors

Keep in mind some of the ingredients and nutritional information may vary a little from one flavor to another.

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder Customer Reviews

We’re all different, but it’s helpful to hear what others who already use the protein have to say about their results and how the product tastes. 

For the most part, users say they like the taste of the protein. Overall, Banana appears to be one of the favorite flavors. Belgian Chocolate and Vanilla Crème are also popular. Most reviewers say the mixture comes out thick but without lumps. The one common negative was from users saying the flavors taste too sweet. 

Customers of this product say it works well to keep them full. It blends easily and has a smooth texture. They also mostly say it’s excellent for providing the nutrition they’re looking for. It’s a good value.

Users say they like the boost they get for their recovery when having this protein supplement. Generally, people like PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein as a post-workout supplement .

Who is PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein Best For?

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder is the ideal supplement for people looking to gain lean muscle mass while cutting body fat. It’s high protein but low calorie and sugar. 

PHD Diet Whey Protein - gain lean muscle mass

Though it’s not the right choice to include for anyone looking to bulk up. PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder isn’t engineered to add bulk to someone. While it supports muscle recovery and growth, it isn’t mixed for building large muscles. 

Some people are allergic to whey protein. If you know you are or have a sensitivity to it, do not use PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein.

Is PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein Safe?

No protein supplement should be taken in excess. Too much of the added ingredients could result in negative side effects. But we want to focus on any possible side effects from using the supplement as intended.

Users report some instances of belly aches, cramping, and diarrhea. Some people said they felt sick after drinking their protein shakes. These are symptoms that many may experience when they drink protein supplements. PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein doesn’t have a lot of this reported, but there are some users indicating these side effects. 

Is There Data to Back Up PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein?

There is scientific research that supports the benefits of specific ingredients in PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein. What we don’t see are any studies done by third parties of the product itself. PhD has yet to come out with any proof their supplement does what it says it can.

Where to Buy PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder

PHD Diet Whey Protein Website

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder is available in 3 sizes, with savings at each level. We will detail the pricing and savings below.

PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein Pricing:

  • 500G –  £12.74 / $17.12 (save 15%)
  • 1KG –  £19.19 / $25.78 (save 40%)
  • 2KG – £29.50 / $39.64 (save 50%)

With three sizes/pricing tiers, savings at each order level, and 14 flavors to choose from (including options like Birthday Cake and Salted Caramel), there seems to be something for everyone when it comes to PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein.

Claims vs. Reality

PhD claims their Diet Whey Protein Powder is formulated with a high-protein, low-calorie blend. Which it does, at first glance. When you compare this supplement to other protein powders , make sure you look at the serving size indicated on the package. You want to make your comparison across a level playing ground.

The company also claims these powders have “market-leading taste and mixability.” The mixability does check out. Customers report it is easy to mix, and you aren’t left with lumps. The claim on taste isn’t full proof. There are reports that users like the taste. However, some users also report a fake or unpleasant taste.

The final claim we’ll look at is that PhD adds more CLA, flaxseed, and L-Carnitine than other brands. This claim is supported. The ingredients in protein powders vary widely across different brands of supplements. Some makers keep ingredient levels a secret due to proprietary formulas, but we can usually see if an ingredient is part of a supplement.

Conclusion: PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein Review

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder is a high-quality supplement that works as a meal replacement or a post-workout recovery drink. The flavor assortment is large, meaning there is a flavor out there for everyone’s taste buds to enjoy.

PHD Diet Whey Protein - Raspberry and White Chocolate Flavour

PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein is also ideal for anyone looking to promote more lean muscle mass and less body fat. The added ingredients are targeted at trimming off fat while helping muscles recover quicker. While it is a good protein supplement, it isn’t right for everyone. You may need to do some tasting to find the right flavor, also.

In short, we think PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein is a good quality protein supplement that may not be right for everyone, but will work well for some.

PhD Diet Whey Review – The Best Diet Whey?

When it comes to finding a whey protein shake, it seems like there are endless options to pick from online. As well as the standard protein blends, there is an ever-increasing number of diet whey proteins. But is it really worth buying a diet product and if so, which one is the best? During this PhD Diet Whey review, we will take a look.

phd diet whey macros

For most of us purchasing a whey protein supplement, it will generally be a typical powder of just whey protein concentrate. This is ideal for boosting the protein consumed in your diet, as whey protein provides a fast-acting and lean source of protein. In fact, the protein content is roughly 80%, far higher than the amount found in high protein food.

A diet whey protein typically contains several extra ingredients designed to support weight loss. These include ingredients such as green tea which raises the metabolism to support increased fat burning. For most users, we support using fat burner supplements separately to whey protein. But for those looking for convenience, a diet whey protein makes a great choice.

phd diet whey macros

PhD Diet Whey Review

The PhD Nutrition brand was launched in 2006 with the mission to change the sports supplement landscape. Throughout their products, the goal to focus on honesty and reality has prevailed into a huge range of exciting supplements. The line-up includes a full range of protein-based products, including Smart Bars, which we are big fans of.

PhD Nutrition is now sold worldwide in over 45 countries and features thousands of positive reviews online. Diet Whey from PhD is widely marketed as the original and best diet whey protein. PhD was one of the first supplement manufacturers to bring a diet whey protein to the market and completely changed the game.

The shake features high protein and low carb blend to support fat loss. This supplement is suitable for both men and women looking to achieve greater fat loss results. To achieve this, PhD have combined protein with a range of ingredients to achieve increased fat burning including CLA, Flaxseed and L-Carnitine.  

Taste & flavour

We are often big fans of the flavour when it comes to PhD products. In fact, PhD smart bars are some of our favourite protein bars on the market. The difficulty with diet whey protein powders is that they often don’t taste as good as their standard whey protein alternatives. This is often due to the added ingredients which support weight loss but don’t help the taste of the protein shake.

Luckily, there is a huge number of flavours of this supplement available, so everyone should be able to find a flavour that works for them. Over 12 flavours are available including chocolate, salted caramel and vanilla cream. Some unusual flavours are also available including cherry Bakewell and birthday cake.

We always prefer to stick with chocolate flavour protein shakes for the best taste, but its great to see such a huge variety. For those looking to use PhD diet whey every day, a great idea is to purchase 2 different flavours. This way, the flavour can be rotated on a daily basis.

The overall taste is great and very impressive for a diet whey shake. We did find the texture to be slightly thicker compared with other shakes. This is likely due to the addition of flaxseed. We compensated for this with more liquid. The flavour actually tastes like the flavour purchased, with little artificial taste or bad after taste.

Our favourite is the chocolate mint flavour. This shake could be mixed with water or milk, we find cold water best to avoid adding additional calories from milk. To get the best results, a protein shaker should be used and the bag kept sealed to ensure the powder is kept fresh. 

Muscle-Plus-PhD-diet

PhD Diet Whey Protein

A high quality protein supplement containing a blend of three proteins for a constant supply of branched-chain amino acids. 34g protein per 50g serving.

Great macros are key for a diet protein shake and PhD diet whey delivers. Each 25g serving contains 91 calories. There is also 17g of protein and just 2.8g of carbohydrates. The low volume of carbs makes this supplement suitable for those following a keto diet.

The amount of protein in diet shakes is lower when compared with a standard whey protein shake. For example, MyProtein Impact Whey contains 21g of protein per serving. This is due to the additional ingredients which are a diet shake to support an increased fat loss.

PhD diet whey contains protein from multiple sources including whey protein concentrate, milk protein concentrate and soya protein isolate. The combination of different protein sources allows for BCAAS to be released into the blood-stream and absorbed by the body at different rates. This creates a drip-feed effect which keeps the muscles supplied with BCAAs over an extended period of time. Great for those on a calorie deficit looking to maintain muscle mass.

Further ingredients include flaxseed. This is ideal for those looking to increase fibre in their diet and provides a source of essential fatty acids. Green-tea is also in this supplement to support fat loss. We have discussed green tea extract many times when looking at fat burner supplements.

Green tea contains caffeine and catechins which can enhance thermogenesis . Therefore increasing the body’s efficiency in burning calories. Finally, there is L-Carnitine which is another popular ingredient for fat burning supplements. This amino acid transports fatty acid into cells to be processed for energy. 

Overall, the macros for PhD diet whey are very impressive. The blend of protein is unique and ideal for ensuring muscles are supplied with amino acids. There are lots of great ingredients to support with fat loss.

Price 

The price of supplement can often be the difference in whether we recommend it a lot. For supplements such as diet whey protein, it’s important to remember that it is going to be used regularly. This could be every day for some. The PhD diet whey range starts with a 500g tub which is priced at £14.99 on the PhD website. We would only recommend this size for testing a flavour for the first time, as its small enough to run out very fast.

The next size is 1kg which is priced at £27.99. The largest size is a 2kg pouch which is priced at £47.99. We do find this to be slightly more expensive when compared with similar products. For example, MyProtein Impact Diet Whey is priced at £22.99 for a 1kg pouch. However, as with many supplements, the price can be found for less when shopping around online.

The best value website for PhD diet whey is Amazon. Being Amazon, the price will fluctuate, but when writing this post the current price for a 2kg pouch is £30. The 1kg pouch is also noticeably less compared with ordering directly from PhD.  When buying from Amazon, PhD is great value for money and contains much better ingredients compared with rivals at a similar price.

Overall, our PhD diet whey review has found it to be a great product that we would recommend. Diet whey proteins are becoming increasingly popular with those looking to increase fat loss, without necessarily consuming additional fat burning supplements. This protein actually contains many of the ingredients found separately in fat burners.

A good selection of over 12 flavours is available, ideal for those struggling to find a flavour they like. We love the idea of using two flavours if you will be consuming this supplement every day. The macros of this diet whey are good with 17g of protein in a 25g serving. Where PhD Diet whey stands out is the additional ingredients to support increase fat burning. These include green tea extract and L-carnitine. The price is expensive from the PhD website but is great value from Amazon where it can be found for less.

Fitness 360: Jim Stoppani, PhD, Nutrition Program

Jim Stoppani, PhD, eats protein to build muscle and limits his carbs to stay lean. But that's just the beginning. Here's his full nutrition philosophy and meal plan!

Fitness 360: Jim Stoppani, PhD, Nutrition Program

Because there is always new research and information regarding physique building and fitness, Jim likes to test nutrition and supplementation variables on himself. Through his years of research and self-testing, Jim knows exactly which macros will produce the best results. Here's his nutrition regimen!

Applied Science

"Overall, my nutrition philosophy is high protein," says Jim. "Muscle is made out of protein. In order to build muscle, you have to eat more protein. When you eat so much protein, you can eat fewer carbohydrates because the protein is also providing energy."

Jim bases much of his diet plan from favorable research findings. For example: "Research has shown that people who eat whole eggs (at least three yolks per day) gain more muscle and strength than people who are eating just the whites." Jim also eats beef once per day for its muscle-building benefits and salmon for the uber-important omega-3 fatty acids.

Jim Stoppani preparing food.

He's also a Greek yogurt fan: "It has high casein content, which is a slow-digesting protein. I like to mix a cup of Greek yogurt with a scoop of whey protein. It tastes like pudding, and you're getting fast-absorbing protein and slow-absorbing protein at the same time which helps extend your anabolic effect so you can build muscle better."

As for carbs, "I give myself a high carb day once per week," he says, "which keeps my metabolic rate up and allows me to eat foods that I might be craving. It's a fairly consistent diet year round. I like to eat frequently; I get protein every few hours so I can avoid protein breakdown."

Bodybuilding diets can be monotonous, so Jim finds creative ways to make food taste better. "I use a lot of fresh spices like garlic, basil, and things like that," he says.

Layne Norton Discusses His Exact Supplement Routine and Macronutrient Split

The well known nutrition researcher and bodybuilder tells all..

' src=

Dr. Layne Norton is a titan in the field of nutrition, a veritable behemoth of knowledge who holds a PhD in Nutritional Science along with seven bodybuilding titles and six powerlifting titles — for a time, he even held the -93kg IPF squat world record with 303kg/668lb. Also the creator of the nutrition coaching app Carbon , he’s extraordinarily well rounded in the fields of building strength, getting jacked, shredding fat and debating nutrition science, which he’s even done on the Joe Rogan Experience.

(He also been on our podcast if you want to check that out.)

He’s one of the most influential folks in the fitness space, and today you’re going to learn:

  • Layne Norton’s macronutrients
  • How he adjusts protein based on goals
  • His recommended minimum for fat intake
  • How much of your carbs should be fiber?
  • Is carb cycling best?
  • Layne Norton’s meal prep tips
  • Layne Norton’s supplements

When he’s consulting with clients he charges a lot more for this information than the zero dollars it costs to read this article, so we were very grateful for the opportunity to learn from him — and we think you will be, too.  

Editor’s note: The content on BarBend is meant to be informative in nature, but it should not be taken as medical advice. The opinions and articles on this site are not intended for use as diagnosis, prevention, and/or treatment of health problems. Speak with your physician before undertaking any new weight loss regimen.

Layne Norton’s Macronutrient Recommendations

First, let’s talk about the hotly debated topic of macronutrient recommendations. How much does your carb and fat intake matter? Not all that much, or rather, there’s no hard rule: Layne says so long as your calories and protein are in check, you can adjust your fat and carbs based on what feels best for you.

With his clients, first he works out calories based on goals — fat loss, muscle gain, maintenance — then he determines protein, but he bases his protein recommendation off of lean body mass (LBM), not total weight. (Your LBM is your weight minus your body fat.)

“If I’m in a gain phase, protein could be anywhere from 2 to 2.4 grams per kilogram of lean body weight,” says Norton. “If I’m in a fat loss phase, I may go as high as anywhere from 2.4 to 3 grams per kilogram of lean body mass.”

This approach is supported by a few studies, like a 2014 paper by Eric Helms and Alan Aragon, that suggests,

most but not all bodybuilders will respond best to consuming 2.3-3.1 g/kg of lean body mass per day of protein, 15-30% of calories from fat, and the reminder of calories from carbohydrate.( 1 )

“ I’ll deduct (protein) from my calories, and then whatever’s left over is divvied up to carbs or fat by preference, ” he says. “If you look at the research out there, either with overfeeding or dieting, there doesn’t seem to be much difference in terms of lean body mass accrual or fat mass accrual with how you split up your carbs and fats, as long as protein and calories are equated.”

This is an unusually lenient approach with carbs and fat, as a lot of coaches will give strict minimums to reach. But if you see the kind of people who tweet at Layne all day (he has one of the most entertaining Twitter accounts in nutrition) you’ll see there’s simply a ton of variety out there: some feel better with more fat, others with more carbs.

After landing on protein, Layne himself usually has the rest of his calories split with 55 percent from carbs and 45 from fat, but that’s just his preference. What your preference is will likely take some experimentation.

You might be wondering why there’s no fat minimum, since, well, aren’t really low fat diets linked to lower testosterone ?! Well, sure, in some research, but so are big calorie deficits, so it’s easy to confound the two — most bodybuilders will tell you their sex drive drops as their contest approaches.( 2 )( 3 )( 4 )( 5 )( 6 )( 7 )

“Honestly, I’m not sure where that cap would be (on fat intake), but 0.3 grams per kilogram probably sounds about right,” he says. “You’d be looking at somebody who’s, if you’re 100 kilos you want (at least) 30 grams of fat. That seems about right to me.”  

But he’s careful to note this is just conjecture, and the most important thing is calories and protein, then splitting your carbs and fat in a way the feels right to you.

(Note, however, if you’re in a really big weight cut for a bodybuilding contest, know that you probably won’t feel amazing regardless of your macros. The body doesn’t love being under 5 percent body fat.)

Carbs and Carb Cycling 

I wanted to ask two nagging questions here that I felt aren’t usually addressed in the sports nutrition space: how much attention should you pay to your fiber intake, and does carb cycling — eating more carbs and calories on training days — actually have a benefit?

“For the most part, I worry about hitting my macros, I try to eat high-quality foods to get there, and I don’t really worry about a ton more,” Norton answered when I asked if he tracks insoluble and soluble fiber. The message: don’t overthink things too much.

That said, he does like to ensure fiber makes up about 15 percent of his calories from carbs.

“Only for the fact that in terms of body composition and energy balance, fiber has more of a thermic effect than carbohydrates or fats do,” he says. “If you’re not being consistent with your fiber, your energy balance might be jumping around a little bit and you won’t even realize it. There’s obviously benefits for the gut microbiome, then possibly regulatory aspects for the gastrointestinal tract. What seems to come up is that higher-fiber diets are better because of satiety, glycemic control, GI, gut microbiome, and possibly even the volatile fatty acids that are produced as a by-product of gut microbiome metabolism of fibers.

[Related: The 5 Types of Fiber Athletes Should Know About ]

carbohydrates

Carb Cycling

At first, the man sounds like a proponent of carb cycling, but listen to his position: 

“I know that when I do major lifts, the squat and deadlift especially, I burn probably about 50 to 70 percent more calories during those workouts,” says Norton. “Usually on those days, I’ll bump up my calories a little bit. As far as research showing that to be superior, it doesn’t exist.  There are plenty of people who eat the same thing every day and get really good results.

“The fact of the matter is, let’s say you were eating at maintenance and one day you had a really hard workout, the other you’re off, but you eat the same on each day. On the day you’re off, you might be eating over your maintenance, but that means you also have a surplus that rolls into the day where you’re eating under your maintenance while you’re training. The fact is that this stuff kind of rolls together.”

It’s not like the clock strikes midnight, everything resets, and it doesn’t matter what you had the day before. As is the case with your balance of fat and carbs, carb cycling really boils down to personal preference. Layne likes more food on days he’s training harder because he likes it — but that doesn’t mean it’s  better .

That’s a crucial distinction that the man is always at pains to point out in his nutrition discussions. 

“What I find is, interestingly, people tend to try to validate their personal preferences by trying to do mental gymnastics as to why their preference is better,” he says. “I always tell people, ‘Why is it just not OK to say, you just prefer that?’ I just prefer that.”

Layne Norton’s Meal Prep Staples

It’s really easy to read about the precise number of grams of this and that that you should consume, but it’s harder to put it into practice. 

Does Norton have a lot of staple meals he uses? When asked about practical tips, he said he preaches the concept of  structured flexibility.

“If I’m in contest prep, by the end of it I’m going to be extremely rigid and very inflexible. Counter to that, if I’m not competing in anything and I’m just in maintenance mode or building, I allow myself much more flexibility,” he says, referring to a time when he recently bulked to the -105kg weight class. 

When he’s in his caloric-restriction phase, he cooked up 10 pounds of chicken breast at the start of every week and heats frozen veggies for micronutrients — on lower calories, it’s harder to hit a high protein goal, particularly as he increases his protein intake as he loses weight.

His go-t0 fat loss meals are usually a combination of chicken breast, frozen veggies, and carbs, which he correctly notes are pretty easy to get. 

“Now that I’m in a building phase and my calories back above 3,000, I don’t have to do that anymore. Getting protein sources with that many calories is easy. I just got a microwave meal, protein shake, Greek yogurt,” he says. “It just expands my ability to be flexible on my protein sources. When my calories are low, I have to be much more inflexible.”

whey protein

Layne Norton’s Supplements

About to launch a supplement company (Outwork Nutrition) this fall, supplements are a subject near and dear to his heart. He approaches them by dividing them into three tiers.

First on this list will probably not come as a surprise.

Whey protein

“ Just for a convenient protein source,” he says. “One, it’s a high-quality protein, a lot of leucine content in there. Two, it generally tastes very good. And three, it’s pretty inexpensive, so I think whey protein is a great supplement. If you have no GI problems and you don’t care about lactose, a whey protein concentrate is just fine.”

If you do have gastrointestinal issues from lactose or if you’re really trying to minimize carbs and fat, whey isolate might be a better bet, as it’s had much of the lactose and fat stripped out of it and offers more protein per gram.

[Related: The Differences Between Whey Concentrate, Isolate, and Hydrolysate ]

Creatine Monohydrate

“It’s king, there is no supplement that has been tested more, with better results consistently, in the scientific literature for increasing lean body mass and increasing strength, and it’s cheap and effective,” he says. “That’s why supplement companies are always trying to come out with new forms of creatine so they can charge you more. (But) creatine monohydrate has been shown to saturate the muscle cell’s phosphocreatine stores 100 percent. You don’t need anything else. Don’t waste your money on anything else.”

Layne notes that creatine hydrochloride, while it’s possible you need less of it to saturate your muscles, still doesn’t match up in terms of price. It’s so much more expensive that the lower dose doesn’t make it a cheaper option.

[Related: What’s the Best Type of Creatine? ]

Coffee

“Not sexy, but it is one of the most effective supplements out there,” he says. “In terms of if you want something that will immediately improve performance focus, those sorts of things, caffeine is your best bet. You can build up a tolerance and some people are very sensitive to it. Take as per what your tolerance is. I tell people, probably every few months, it’s not a bad idea to do a caffeine reset where you go cold turkey for about a week. You can completely reset your caffeine tolerance. I’ve done it, it works great. It feels like crap during that week where you’re not having it, but you get over it. You sleep great though.”

running guy

Here we find a few common pre workout ingredients . 

Beta-Alanine

“If you’re somebody who likes to do high repetition work or you like to do high intensity cardio, beta-alanine has some good data on it. There’s some data that suggests it may increase lean body mass.”

With interesting links to endurance, the typical dose is 1.6 to 3.2 grams at a time — just note that it causes paresthesia, a harmless “tingling” sensation.( 8 )( 9 )

Citrulline Malate

Citrulline, meanwhile, has links to improving blood flow — it’s actually often used in erectile dysfunction supplements because of this — and 5 or so grams is the dose that some studies have seen improvements in anaerobic and aerobic workouts, power output, and time to fatigue.( 10 )( 11 )( 12 )( 13 )( 14 )( 15 )( 16 )

“I really like things like Rhodiola rosea, that’s an adaptogen. It has some really good data around it on fatigue resistance and perception of fatigue. That’s something I like in a pre workout.”( 17 )

bcaa supplements

“I would consider these in the third tier, but only because the research right now is all positives, but it’s just not very much. I want to see more.”

Tart Cherry Extract

“It can reduce delayed onset muscle soreness. There’s some really good evidence for that in resistance-trained individuals.”( 18 )( 19 )

Ashwagandha

“A promising supplement that we are putting in our product — I still want to see more research on it — is ashwagandha. There seems to be some really promising literature on that.” 

A plant in the nightshade family,  a good amount of evidence suggests that a couple of grams of ashwagandha can be useful for helping to manage fatigue, improve focus, reduce anxiety, and maybe even help with sports performance.( 20 )( 21 )( 22 )

Best protein powders for women in 2023

Women's Fitness

Here’s our round-up of the best protein powders for women, with a handy guide on how to use them…

Looking for the best protein powders for women? Protein in the form of powder and supplements offer a quick and easy way to increase your protein intake to support muscle repair and recovery. It also serves as a great way of managing those pesky post-workout sugar cravings and therefore weight management.

Gone are the days when protein powder was aimed at and used by only elite athletes or bodybuilders alone. Today, people of all fitness levels, genders and body shapes are enjoying protein shakes in and out of the gym. But with so many to choose from – think whey protein to vegan or to casein – it can be difficult to know where to start. Here’s everything you need to know with a selection of some of the best protein powders for women – tried and tested.

What is protein?

Protein is an essential macro-nutrient that plays a crucial role in your body. It’s essential for muscle building and tissue repair, as well as maintaining good skin health, balancing hormones and supporting immunity and metabolism.

How much protein do I need?

For a healthy body, the recommended nutrient intake (RNI) is 0.75g of protein per kg of body weight per day. If you don’t typically eat many animal-based sources or if you’re carefully watching your macros, protein powders can help you hit this target.

What types of protein powder are there?

Whey protein.

Whey is the most used protein in the sports industry and is a by-product of cheese production as the liquid part (whey) separates from the milk. “It’s also complete protein that is high in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are important for muscle protein synthesis explains Personal Trainer, Paul Fletcher from Discount Supplements.

Whey protein is also quickly digested by the body and absorbed rapidly by the body so therefore it’s recommended that you take it immediately (or within at least 30 minutes after your workout) to help with muscle recovery and increasing your lean muscle tissue. Multiple scientific studies also show that protein after a workout is also highly satiating, “and can be a helpful supplement for women to aid in appetite control and support muscle mass retention during a calorie deficit. However, it’s important to note that protein powder is not a magic solution and should be consumed as part of a balanced and healthy diet,” adds Personal Trainer, Paul Fletcher.

What is Whey Isolate?

Whey Isolate is a more refined variety of whey protein, and therefore more expensive. When produced it goes through a process called crossflow microfiltration , which causes the protein to separate from fat and lactose which gives it a slightly higher protein content than whey concentrate and less fat content too.

And how about Whey Hydrolysate?

Whey Hydrolysate is a type of whey protein that’s been put through hydrolysis. That is the addition of water to allow for the protein to be broken down into its smaller building blocks. This means it can be absorbed by the body much faster and at higher rates.

Vegan protein powders

Vegan protein powders usually come in the form of pea, hemp and soy protein. You can get brown rice and potato versions too. These proteins are combined to achieve a good balance of amino acids and cater for those following a vegan diet or those who are lactose intolerant or generally struggle with digesting milk.

How do you make protein shakes?

Your shake should be well labelled with serving suggestions but the key is to simply add the recommended amount of protein powder with a liquid (typically, water, yogurt or any type of milk – including the nut or oat variety) and then mix and enjoy. You can also combine it with ice and other fruits like bananas or berries in a blender to make it thicker and creamier.

How many scoops of protein powder do I need?

This depends on the brand and type of powder but most recommend around one to two scoops daily, which is 25 – 50g. Experts recommend that those who exercise have about  1.4 and 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily and a protein powder is a great way to reach that target.

How do I choose the best protein powder for me?

“Ultimately, the best type of protein powder for women will depend on individual preferences and dietary needs. It’s important to choose a high-quality protein powder with minimal added sugars and ingredients, and to speak with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before starting any new supplement regiment.” says Fletcher.

Everyone is different – and has different ways of digesting – so here’s our pick of the best ones to try whatever your goal or dietary preference.

phd diet whey protein powder

PHD Diet Whey

Buy it now:.

£24.99 for 1kg, phd.com (not yet available in the US)

Each serving of this Whey Protein drink provides 91 calories when mixed with water. It’s low in fat and sugar and contains added CLA which can help to break down fat, Flaxseed for extra fibre and L-Carnitine, which can improve performance and help you to recover faster.

The texture is nice and smooth, and the chocolate mint flavour super refreshing and tasty especially when mixed with ice. It’s also low carb (with just 2.8g per serving) and comes in a total of 11 flavours, ranging from white chocolate and raspberry to chocolate orange or Belgian Chocolate so you’ll never get bored.

collaslim chocolate protein powder with collagen

CollaSlim Meal Replacement Shake With Collagen Protein

£33.99, sobody.co (international shipping available)

Collagen Powder is perfect for injecting collagen into your diet and helping to promote healthy skin, hair, and nails – and CollaSlim contains 40g of marine collagen as well as 25g of whey protein. Choose from strawberry, vanilla or coffee, banana bread or salted caramel.

Our favourite flavour? We found the coffee mixed really well with water and some ice, making it a good option for a low calorie protein shake (just 142 calories per serving). It also tastes great with almond milk (206 calories per serving) and coconut milk too (224 calories per serving).

locako keto chocolate collagen powder

Locako Keto Protein Powder

£23.99 for 300g, locako.co.uk (international shipping available)

If you’re following a low carb lifestyle but still want and need your protein to recover from the gym then Locako’s Keto Protein Powder contains less than 1g of carbs per serving yet still 10g of grass fed, hydrolysed Collagen Protein which will not only support muscle recovery but your joints too.

As an added bonus, it also contains Coconut MCT (Medium-Chain Triglycerides) oil which is a healthy fat source that will help you to feel fuller for longer and fantastic for keeping the brain switched on too.

sci-mix total protein powder

Sci-Mx Total Protein

£18.99 for 450g, sci-mx.co.uk (not yet available in the US)

Offering excellent value for money, this purse-friendly powder packs a generous 22g of protein made using two types of protein (whey protein concentrate and soy protein isolate) coupled with high levels of the key amino acids to aid muscle growth and recovery.

This powder is low in fat and sugar and uses sucralose, acesulfame and stevia to sweeten it which are ideal for keeping your blood sugar levels stable and cravings under control. We have to add that the chocolate flavour went down a treat with the consistency tasting satisfyingly smooth and creamy.

applied nutrition casein

Applied Nutrition Casein

£41.99 for 1.8kg (69p per serving), discount-supplements.co.uk (international shipping available)

Our first experience of Casein protein was a great one. “Casein is used as a slow-digesting protein that may help to keep you feeling full for longer and typically a great supplement to have at night time to help drip feed your muscles as you sleep” says Fletcher. Not only is Applied Nutrition Casein digested slowly (well 7 hours according to the label) but it stops muscle from breaking down, enabling you to lose weight without losing muscle.

It should help you sleep too. There’s nothing worse than waking in the early hours with a rumbling tummy – and the strawberry flavour mixed into a thick and tasty shake without any added sugar or gluten.

ultimate performance whey powder vanilla

Ultimate Performance’s Whey Protein Blend

$37 / £36.99 for 1.5kg, ultimateperformance.com

Ultimate Performance is one of the world’s leading global personal training businesses, with 21 private personal training gyms spread over eight countries so it’s no surprise their Whey Protein Blend is an excellent protein powder.

The powder contains 24g of protein per 30g serving and around 3g of leucine, an amino acid known to support muscle protein synthesis and repair. It’s also low in sugars, carbs and fats and mixes just perfectly to give a smooth milkshake texture that tastes good when combined with milk or just water.

my protein clear whey isolate vimto flavour

MyProtein Clear Whey Isolate – Vimto Flavour

$39.99 / £34.99 for 20 servings, myprotein.com (Vimto flavour unavailable in US)

Perfect for the summer, this light and refreshing Clear Whey from MyProtein tastes exactly like Vimto, but instead is a protein supplement with 20g per serving. It’s perfect to enjoy with water and ice and is also easy to digest. Great for those who struggle to eat straight after a workout and looking for a protein shake that doesn’t feel heavy. It’s delicious too.

bulk x barratt flump pure whey protein powder

Bulk™ × Barratt® Pure Whey Protein

£29.99 (£1.50 per serving) / bulk.com (not yet available in the US)

If you have a sweet tooth yet want to reduce your sugar intake without missing out then Bulk’s × Barratt® Pure Whey Protein is a great solution. You’ll find 22g of protein and 5g of Branch Chain Amino Acids in every scoop, which will help you to repair your muscles and reduce post-workout aches and pains (DOMS). It only has 113 calories per serving too so if you’re looking to fix a craving without a calorie hit then this is ideal.

rejuvenated protein smoothie banana

Rejuvenated Protein Smoothie

$27.95 / £21 for 14 servings, rejuvenated.com

If you suffer from bloating, then opting for a non-milk protein shake should help. Rejuvenated Protein Powder contains organic pea protein and is also low in sugar for easier digestion. The ingredients list also includes a blend of Glucomannan fibre and Inulin, which will help you feel fuller for longer – as well as green tea to help stabilise blood sugar levels and boost the metabolism.

Packed with 21g of plant protein content, it’s a great choice for vegetarians and vegans and mixes well with water or oat milk. Taste-wise, the banana flavour was particularly tasty – with the chocolate close behind.

nourishing protein powder from welleco best for women

WelleCo Vegan Nourishing Protein Powder

$35 / £29 for 300g, welleco.com

WelleCo’s range of tasty vegan protein powder packs a punch without any hidden horrors. There’s not an artificial flavour, thickener or preservative in sight. Plus, each option – chocolate or vanilla – not only provides high-quality protein, but also an array of vitamins and minerals. There’s also added fibre, glutamine and pre and probiotics for gut health.

Best of all it’s been designed and tried and tested by “The Body” Elle Macpherson – and with her amazing physique and vibe to aspire too we’re totally sold!
