I am new...starting the program today. But I can't figure out why whey is acceptable during the first two weeks (for smoothies). Isn't whey considered dairy? Won't it interfere with the cleansing nature of the first two weeks?

Also, I have a coffee & sugar addiction. I've managed to break my addiction to HFCS, but I still add sugar to my morning brew. How can I manage those addictions without a pounding headache and going ballastic on my kids?

Green tea?

Whey Protein Powders

Hi,
We recommend Whey Healthier and sell it on the site because we believe its the highest quality protein powder on the market (and many of them are very low quality). You do get what you pay for- Whey Healthier costs more because it is very pure and is fortified with many important nutrients for detoxification and optimal health. Your product may be fine, but it's most likely not the same.

whey products

Okay. so I am on the same page with the nutritionist. Huzzah!

How do different whey products compare? I found one (which I purchased) that was sweetened with stevia, non-denatured, sounds about the same as Whey Healthier, except mine isn't from grass pastured cows.

I'm game to buy "your" brand, but mine was affordable and convenient. Is mine that much "lesser" of a product?

I bought Whey Factors, but I guess there are a number of brands with similar profiles.. thanks!

Whey etc.

You are right- whey is a dairy derivative. Whey Healthier, however, is a pure and unique whey protein powder that retains many of the benefits of raw milk, plus it contains detoxifying nutrients, so we feel it is acceptable during the elimination phase of the program.
If you feel it is impossible for you to give up coffee right now, try sweetening it with stevia for the time being and see if you can decrease the amount of coffee you are drinking over the course of a week or two while increasing your green tea until you are drinking just green tea. Let us know if we can help further,
