Quit using sugar. Any post-workout whey alternatives?

[UniSynGuy]

I am in process of eliminating sugar from my diet (with the exception of fruit) and the only thing that remains is whey powder which has some sweeteners in it.

Is there any GOOD, natural tasting protein powder without sweeteners, etc?

What would happen if I replace whey with chicken breast and eat it right after working out?

positive results.

Whey contains protein. Chicken contains protein. Beef....

positive results.

What about the time it takes for body to process it when compared to powder?

It doesn't matter dude. Just eat your chicken breast.

Cutting out sugar is one thing. Eliminating protein powder b/c it contains trace amounts of sugar is another. In my opinion, cutting out sugars from everything except protein powder will be perfectly fine for you. You don't need to get that deep into it. All flavored proteins will have at least 1g sugar in it. How much does your current protein have?

As for your question, whole food will obviously take longer to digest compared to whey, but you can do either or and still experience great results.

Thanks man.

Lemme check.... It says Sugars 0g but it tastes sweet. Why would it be like this?

Sucralose?

[SwolenONE]

get a big bag of oats, a coffee grinder and a 5lb whey. Youll be set for quite some time.

Bingo. OP, don't worry about it, bro. That protein is fine. Just eliminate all the bull$hit sugars and you'll be fine.

Thanks for feedback, guys!

I'm limiting fake sugars instead of eliminating them and I'm using ON Natural whey/casein. It's EXPENSIVE but thus far the only ones with ingredients that i'm okay with. I'm eating fruit and sweetening everything else with unpasteurized/unfiltered honey. It's hard to keep the calories down but I'm managing.

I switched to meals PWO with meat/grain and have loved it
