Why is Proto Whey the only 100% whey hydrolysate protein I can find?

BioNutritional Research Group .::. Frequently Asked Question...
Though Proto Whey hydrolysates are far superior nutritionally, their natural taste is too bitter for consumption. BioNutritional Research Group has developed the only unique and proprietary flavoring process available for hydrolyzed protein and thus it is the only product of its type on the market. It is undigested protein that causes bloating and gas. 40-65% of non-hydrolyzed protein supplements and foods are not absorbed and end up as residue in the gut.

Why is Proto Whey more expensive than other protein supplements?

BioNutritional Research Group .::. Frequently Asked Question...
With 3-6 times the absorption of other protein supplements, the cost per serving of absorbed protein for Proto Whey is actually less (if it's not absorbed, it is eliminated as waste and contributes zero nutritional value). MCTs are Medium Chain Triglycerides which cannot be converted or stored as body fat or attach to arterial or cardiac tissue. MCTs aid in digestion of protein and all other foods and supplements and contribute to overall health of intestinal tissue.

Whey protein is a nutritionally complete protein. It contains bioactive ingredients, like immunoglobulins and lactoferrin, that help support the immune system. Athletes prefer whey protein to soy protein due to its rich abundance of branched chain amino acids and its quick absorption rate. These are important to help repair and rebuild muscles after a workout or competitive event. Whey protein has a fresh, neutral taste compared and will not change the taste of foods you add it to.

Not eating too much and still got fat belly!!!!! - IronOnlin...
I tried having tuna salad for lunch but felt hungry really quickly and didnt know what to have for snacks in the morning and afternoon - tried cottage cheese but wasnt too happy with it. The problem with most low-calorie diets is they fail to properly manage hormones. You might consider the Zone diet, where you ingest protein/carbs/fat in a roughly 30/40/30 ratio, which is an optimal balance for many. Adjust as neccesary.
