For what purpose did he advise you to not use protein shakes? What kind of illness?
In general doctors don’t know dick about supplements and he probably just told you that as a precautionary measure.
Unless you’re supposed to stop eating meat as well there’s no reason not to use protein powder.
It’s just food.
You could just gasp eat real food.
basically he believes its been aggravating my already volatile stomach as I’ve been sick for the last 3 weeks with stomach flu even though I’ve been taking the protein longer than my stomach has been sick.
I’m willing to comply to prove him wrong but need a substitute for the time being to bide my time
Beef, eggs, poultry, pork, fish, cheese.
Yeah, not to sound conceited, but doctors frequently don’t know a lot about supplements or hard training. If you see him again, ask him about squats or deadlifts and he’l likely tell you to stop immediately and just walk around the block after dinner.
Though it could be a good idea to just eat real meat for a while then, incase he does know what he’s talking about!
