Yes there is hope, I reckon people are becoming more aware now than 5 years ago. It seems the trend is picking up.

Your right tho, as …
Your right tho, as supplementation is fantastic when you don’t have time and it is better than running into ihops on the way to work! I just feel that the bulk of my meals should be from real food, that keeps my digestive system more pleased, and for some reason I have seen better overall results that way.

supplementation is excellent, as long as it is with a diet, you just said it better than I did.

most of this is, …
most of this is, technically, ‘whole food’. the powdered stuff is not processed to the point it is denatured. one of the main reasons for supplementing this w/ a diet of ‘real’ food is to save time. you would have to prepare and eat much more calorie for calorie to match what this shake provides nutritionally. not to mention the cost of all that food that you would have to eat before it went terrible. some people simply don’t have the time or desire to spend an hour+ preparing and eating breakfast

personally my body responds better to real food rather than artificial powders.

supplementation is nice, but supplements are ment to be used..as….well….supplements!

a real breakfast would ultimately make more sense for me, with whole food.

just to add.. if …
just to add.. if you must alter the main protein sources in this shake, try to make your selection as close to natural as possible… and also keep it limited to one or both of either whole, raw, unpasteurized, unhomogenized milk or casein/egg albumen varieties. these are more slowly digesting proteins and will benefit your desire for sustained energy levels much more effectively. soy protein is kinda useless, in my humble opinion.. but whey is not the way to go for this particular shake.

finding a excellent whey …
finding a excellent whey protein isolate without weird additives or chemically processed alternative sweeteners is hard enough. even then, its really only useful to your body AFTER a workout with the blood sugar/insulin response to it that is very conducive to muscle repair and glycogen replenishment. in most cases using it in this shake would cause a spike in your blood sugar that would defeat the entire purpose (sustained daytime energy).

a waste as they are ‘all carbs’? why are carbs a waste? there’s absolutely no point in perpetuating a nutritional fallacy started by fad diets and sustained by the ignorance of people who are too bone idle to inform themselves and read their marks. berries also serve a lot more purpose than you give them credit for. do your research.

For toners and …
For toners and weightlifters; The rice milk is excellent – better than water or milk as it has more protein and not as much stout (if any) as reg milk. If your not making bars oats etc are a waste as they are all carbs, just the same as the berries, although they would make it taste better, and you do need to have some vits n minerals from somewhere, living soley on protein will kill you. Also as questioned by trappedsoul7 rice protein is incomplete but it does work, just not as effective as whey.
