GNC protein powder is a gain changer
Let me start by saying that I’m not your typical gym rat. In fact, I’m no gym rat at all.
However, I do enjoy a good workout and do my best to live a healthy and active lifestyle.
I’ve always been skeptical about protein powder, trying it time and time again without seeing any notable progress.
Then again, it should be balanced with an effective workout routine to make a difference, and I have never really been consistent with working out, but that all changed.
Three weeks ago, I started using the GNC Pro Performance Weight Gainer protein powder to gain some muscle and reach my 130-pound weight goal (for context, I weighed 122 pounds when I started).
A one-time purchase of the protein powder can be bought online or in-store at GNC for $29.99.
They offer three flavors: vanilla ice cream, strawberries and cream and double chocolate, mine being the latter.
It contains 50 grams of protein, 700 calories and 115 carbs. The recommended amount for a single serving is four to six scoops, which sounds insane.
If I’m taking four scoops, I expect to get my money’s worth and come out looking like the Hulk.
Besides the powder, I like to include ice, milk, a banana, half a scoop of Nesquik chocolate milk powder, oats, and a spoonful of peanut butter to my shake.
It may not be the healthiest, but it sure is the most filling.
I drink a shake every morning, but once I finish, I physically cannot stand the smell or look at food for the next two hours or so after.
The protein makes my stomach hurt so much, I can’t tell if it’s because it’s doing its job or not.
The texture is ridiculously thicker than most due to the large amount of protein, which is something that took me a while to get acquainted to.
I have tried less expensive protein powders, like Premier Protein and Pure Protein, and as convenient as it would be to just go back to using those that do a similar job, I cannot.
Maybe it’s the new protein powder, maybe it’s my new workout program, maybe it’s a mixture of both, regardless, something is working and I can’t go back to how things were before the protein and I crossed paths.
I am proud to say I am currently at 128 pounds, just two away from reaching my goal that I have been trying at for over six years.
The weight I gained can be seen in my arm and leg muscles. Could this incredibly quick difference all be because of the Pro Performance Weight Gainer protein powder? You’ll just have to try and see for yourself.
