Becca, I am a current Dietetics Undergrad and I am so happy that I found your channel! You are such an inspiration your videos about the dietetic internship are SO HELPFUL! Thanks so much for putting out content that not only helps people choose a better lifestyle but teaches them WHY they should choose a better lifestyle!
Orgain isn't full of a bunch of fillers. Ingredients in Orgain: High Oleic sunflower oil increases your good cholesterol. Inulin decreases your bad cholesterol. Rice bran is full of nutrients. Monkfruit is found in China and is actually VERY healthy for you. And this powder contains All essential amino acids along with hemp seed powder which is also VERY healthy for you. Out of the rest of them, this powder is the best by far.
@@wallrusmoose2111 One of Orgain previous products got a bad rating found some toxins in it but that product is discontinued. I found it interesting that most of the top-selling brands had junk in them. I would look up the clean label projects website very interesting.
I would love for you to make a video on Herbalife Nutrition Products. I have been using their products but I have seen some disturbing news on them as well. I haven't been able to find any videos by a certified dietician.
Hey thanks for reviewing this but stevia and monk fruit are not artificial sweeteners - they're extracted and concentrated from real plants (stevia leaf) and fruit (monk fruit)
I love this series, they're so helpful! It's great to get the opinion of someone qualified rather than anecdotal evidence. Can i suggest a 'Skinny on..' video around oil (similar to the artificial sweetener video) especially coconut oil!
I'm amazed of your nutrition knowledge! I just graduated with a nutrition degree and am applying for internships now, but my program never taught us all of the effects of the ingredients. I had no idea about that fact about fructose!
Sadly a lot of protein powders get bad ratings on the Clean Label Project protein powder reviews. I won't use protein powders that contain artificial sugars but I also research then for other stuff in them. I mainly buy Egg or Whey protein But it has to be one on the Clean Label Projects top 5 good list, there are certifications on protein powders but I want to know about all the hidden stuff not on label.
A protein powder that I like is Jarrow Formulas Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder Unflavored ; it has 2 ingredients (Grass Fed Whey Protein Concentrate, Non-GMO Sunflower Lecithin). It costs about $20 for a 12.7 oz container.
This was a great video Becca! Extremely informative!! :) I would be really interested in a video like this about vitamins or other supplements, or just a video about the ones you use!
Girl I recently found your channel & I am OBSESSED! My mama is a dietitian too & can't wait to share your videos with her as well. Also, your hair is GORGEOUS!!! Yay love this channel
Wow Becca! I am so impressed with you and what you are showing on your channel. I am a new subscriber and love all your videos. Please keep on keepin' on because you are certainly helping me!
I saw your Snapchat about how you thought you were yelling at the camera in past videos and I think you did a lot better in this video! Love these "skinny on" videos. I've been watching you since the beginning. (:
Hey Becca! I got super excited when I saw this video pop up on my notifications ☺️ I love protein powders so this is a great topic! It'll help me explain the differences in proteins to people when they ask. My favorite protein powders are the Tone it Up Perfect Fit protein (a little expensive though) and my cheaper favorite is the Vega Protein Powders. 😊
Hi becca♥️ I love all of your videos, I've learnt a lot thanks to you, would you please make a video on cheese? I'm a huge cheese lover, but I haven't eaten cheese in a long time, not even a bite, because a lot of people have said to me that cheese is "bad" and a "prohibited" food but I do want to eat it, would you talk about better choices of cheese? Can I eat mozzarella? Because I love it and I miss it. Is it true that cheese is not "good" for me? Thank you anyways, lots of love and happy new year 🎉😘
Soy and whey are complete proteins, as compared to plant sources of protein powder. Protein isolates are better than protein concentrates in the case of whey as concentrates contain bulking agents/other ingredients such as lactose.
Love your videos!! So happy you decided to do this full time! I know you were working on your thesis, are you planning on finishing that since you are doing RU-vid full time? Just curious
Becca Bristow congrats Becca! Didn't know you were working on your masters. I'm doing mine in combo with my internship right now.. I start in May. So that's fun and stressful 😂
+Becca Bristow You left your other job!? What a huge decision to do this full time, so way to go for what you want! Awesome news! I noticed all these new videos and was wondering how you were finding time! (Also noticed the new visual and sound effects....someone is playing with their new editing software!) 👌🏼
You make me want to study nutrition! Love this video. Do you think that VEGA protein powders are better? What are the benefits of a probiotic drink like, Kevita? Or Kombutcha drinks?
Sara - you really need to know this. STOP Using VEGA powders. They have extremely high amounts of lead. They are the highest on the chart comparing all protein powder kinds in the world. Consumers were shocked when VEGA got exposed. The company even justified their lead content by saying no plant based protein is clean as farming involves the use of pesticides, insecticides and other chemicals. That's total BS!!! They source their ingredients from regions where farming is toxic. Why? Cheap prices. Probiotics - helps in digestion and maintaining healthy bacteria throughout the digestive tract. You get them from yogurt, papayas, pineapples etc etc. NO NEED to use artificial processed Probiotics supplements.
Hi! I'm loving watching your videos! i am hooked! So, looking at the plant based protein powders, wouldn't the pea protein or brown rice protein be considered incomplete?
I love the Trader Joe’s organic pea protein powder. It’s super affordable and the ingredients are minimal. In face the unsweetened version has 1 ingredient: organic pea protein isolate. The taste isn’t great but I blend it with a smoothie which masks the flavor.
OmG what an amazing video! So useful! Thank you!!!! Please do more vids like this one, I am looking for a healthy protein powder cz Im having some health issues and this video is life saving, again thank you!
Kate McKibbon agreed! I always calculate this on my own. I have a video on my channel comparing my favorite proteins and it has price per serving if you wanna check it out too :)
Love your videos!! So glad you did this, I've been looking for the best protein powder. Do you use it at all? If so what to do like to use? I'm guessing g the Whole Foods 365 protein seems to be the best for you? And last , what about shackology? They say that has so much good stuff in it. Would love your help in all these questions please! 😊
Thanks! I do use protein powder here & there, I like the Whole Foods 365 one but currently I'm using the Primal Kitchen vanilla coconut powder. And I'm honestly not sure about Shakeology, I don't know much about it!
Love this series! I just found you and am binge watching lol. Can you do a "skinny" on non dairy milk? I couldn't get my usual unsweetened almond milk the other day and started reading ingredients and was there forever! I would love to hear you're thoughts
Thank you this was sooo very helpful. Whey bloats me and I am doing KETO so less dairy is what I want. Also you saved me time and effort, I would have had to read all that myself standing in the GNC store. :) I think I will try the plant base Naked.
Rachel Burton I'm doing keto as well and noticed after a few times of whey shakes my stomach bloats. Did you stop drinking shakes all together or did you change over to soy isolate instead?
@@diamondstarr4736 soy isolate? That's the worst protein ever!! Even doctors recommend staying away from them. Why?? Certified GMO and high levels of estrogen.
GNC!! Consumers think GNC is a supplement store. But in fact, its a drug store!! I just go in to see their powders laden with chemicals, study the ingredients to keep track of all these companies updating their chemical profiles and selling their products by fooling customers.
wgat do you think of the "green" protein powders? I have a Co worker who will only have a protein shake for the first six hours of her day but she gets the green one cause she insists she gets three servings of veggies. seems very odd to me.
That's way better than whey protein shakes. We all know whey protein powders are laden with chemicals and amino spiked to show high protein numbers. Green / plant proteins are way better. Except for VEGA! Vega might kill people with lead poisoning.
Thank you thank you thank you, much needed info while I'm considering getting some protein powder myself... Any thoughts on the brand PEScience though? Or would I be better off getting those unflavored protein powders instead?
mimigingerhammy YES###!! This is happening to me right now. Went Vegan overnight, 5 months ago and the detox was horrible, the weight gain is real! All the fruit does not agree with me! I do believe it is causing the weight gain.
Where is the best place to check to ensure that the protein powder has been 3rd party tested for contaminants? Since supplements aren't regulated by the FDAlike food products are, the label doesn't necessarily tell all. Also, does this rule apply to protein bars as well? Would you recommend consumers research the safety of all protein supplements/foods? Thanks!
Hi Becca! Loved the video. I have kind of a general question about added sugars. I noticed in this video you mentioned that the sugar content in most of these products is likely just the dairy... I was wondering if you had an tips on how to determine what amount of sugar is added in any food product? I want to try and limit the added sugar in my diet, but sometimes have a hard time trying to figure out what part of the total grams is added in certain products and what is natural. Any tips would be appreciated! Thank you!
+Sarah EB hey Sarah! The best way to determine it is through the ingredient list! Usually anything that says syrup, ends in -ose, or says sugar obviously haha is added sugar! In a couple years the food labels will actually be changing, and added sugars will be listed under total sugar on the label! Woo!
Would it be okay to take protein if I just workout at home? I workout everyday and I use weights, I'm between 98-105lbs and I want to gain more muscle (I've noticed more muscle since I've been eating more and working out everyday and twice a day when I can) but I want to gain muscle without gaining weight around my waist, any suggestions?
I also get heart palpitations and chest pains when I'm stressed, would taking protein affect that? And by the way! I'm so glad I found your channel, I want to be a sports nutritionist! ☺️
@@samguerra6137 heart palpitations?? Eat as low carbs as possible, eat good amounts of healthy fats, lots of veggies and fruits (except corn and soy) eat junk food rarely (cheat meals for sanity), stay away from processed sugars, and DO NOT TAKE whey protein!! They are not as clean as their labels state to be!! Go with natural food sources of protein such as eggs, fish, chicken, and dairy. Cut down on red meat. Drink a lot of water.
Thank you so much for this video! Have been wanting to compare these lately so you saved the time :) ps it would be awesome to see links to each in the description!
I don't do whey protein. But I really enjoyed your review how you broke on everything and explain everything is that's something I need help with but I do use Alpha vegan which I really like but I appreciate your opinion
Can you post resources on fructose and the likelihood that it will be converted to fat easier than other sugars? I'm just curious I've never heard that before! Unless you were referring to the fructose in sucrose or HFCS.
I dont know why people ignore natural and artificial flavors. I try and stay away from those ingredients. I also think nutritionists should pay attention to preservatives. So sad even doctors are not trained to look for these which can mess with their patients.
I recently purchased a plant based protein powder by a company named Vega. Product called "Proteins and Greens" vanilla flavor. Is this an ok way to get protein and greens? Or do people absorb nutrients better by eating the greens fresh? I no longer eat meat, so I'm looking for ways to get more protein into my diet.
Hi Ashley! I'd say the added 'greens' in the protein powder are a good bonus, but I wouldn't use that in place of actual greens & veggies. It's important to eat the real stuff! Whole fruits & veggies usually always pack more of a nutritious punch!
I have had this protein powder in my amazon cart for a while, Jay Robb Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate Powder in Vanilla. It's seems pretty clean. What is your opinion? Thanks.
I use a very affordable unflavoured whey from a grocery store. It's fantastic in smoothies and even tastes good mixed with just almond milk with a dash of cinnamon. I hate all fake sugars so think most flavoured options are awful.
