I'm off all cows milk at the moment mainly due to skin issues that it causes which includes any form of whey. I do get sinus issues a bit more when I have a lot of dairy too but it's more the milk that's the issue. Anyway, just got an order of Pea and Rice protein from Bulk Nutrients called Earth Protein. It's chocolate flavour and aside from tasting like the earth itself it seems to be doing the goods. I've had egg white protein before which was super eggy, have looked at beef protein and some other non whey options but this is my first time trying it out.
Anyone else gone away from whey?
yup I have as well (cut out all dairy), for the last 2 months or so.
my 5k PR came the week I ditched all dairy, seemed like I got a nice boost in how good I felt shortly after ditching it (or just coincidence).
i've substituted almond milk, makes my stomach/body feel pretty amazing.. really agrees with me it seems. It's not a real substitute from a protein pov though, just from something milky to drink pov. Settles my stomach nicely. For protein, just eating more chicken now.
interesting though about dairy and your skin issues.. just doesn't seem worth ingesting something that is causing "adverse reactions", seems like you made the right move.
