PhD Diet Whey Review



Overview

Diet Whey is designed for those seeking lean muscle and great fat-free condition. Diet Whey contains a precision, slow-release protein blend to maximise satiety and ensure no hunger pangs or energy crashes during the day.
Diet Whey is a high-protein meal with a huge difference; it contains a multitude of potential fat-loss ingredients which may assist with the building of fat-free muscle, without any bulking or excess calorie intake - and that means more muscle and less fat.
PhD Nutrition's Diet Whey contains a slow-release protein matrix along with fast-acting protein sources to assist lean muscle building; and no added sugar or maltodextrin.
The PhD "Enduragain" Low-GI, slow burning carbohydrate formulation found in Diet Whey is derived from Waxy Barley, a unique and innovative low-GI carbohydrate source, derived from the finest UK barley crop. Diet Whey will provide enough protein, carbohydrates, fibre and essential fats to ensure satiety for up to 3-4 hours, perfect for athletes intent on improving performance and appearance.
Also featured in Diet Whey are: PhD Iso-Tone 4, a vital athlete-support system containing antioxidants, fat-loss agents and EFA’s; L-Carnitine, an amino acid that is essential to the metabolising of body fat; CLA, used worldwide to support fat-loss and provide vital support to a restricted-calorie diet; Green Tea Extract, a strong antioxidant to assist with the thermogenic effect of Diet Whey; Essential Fatty Acids, for optimum health, vitality and weight-loss.

Taste
I used the Strawberry Delight flavour and it was nice and thick. It mixed well but it has bits in, they are almost like seeds, its very strange. It is a nice tasting shake though. It does give you a full feeling which helps control your cravings.

Ingredients
·         PhD Premium Protein Blend (Whey Protein Concentrate (27%), Milk Protein Concentrate (26%) (of which 56% is Micellar Casein), Soy Protein Isolate), Cocoa Powder, Waxy Barley Starch, Golden Brown Flaxseed Powder, Thickeners (Acacia Gum, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum), Flavouring, CLA Powder (Contains Milk Protein, Lecithin, Vitamin E), Acetyl L-Carnitine, Green Tea Extract, Sodium Chloride, Sweetener (Sucralose)

34g’s of protein per serving is excellent and its fat loss ingredients are all proven. CLA, Green Tea and L-Carnitine will help you drop weight but are far from revolutionary. Flaxseed Powder is included to aid digestion which is a nice touch.

It’s a good formula but it’s one that 99% of diet shakes have.

Price 
Anywhere between £23 and £35 for a 1kg bag which will give you 20 servings, so if you pay full price it’s pricey but you can normally find it on special or with a free tub of something to make it a better deal.

Side Effects
None. 10/10

Results
Meh. That kind of sums up my opinion of PhD Diet Whey. Its not a bad product but its not a great one either. Its too expensive for a start and it doesn’t seem to deliver on its one key area of fat loss. I noticed nothing special whilst working my way through my tub. It tastes nice, it’s easy to drink and gives a decent protein hit at 34g’s but it just doesn’t deliver on the fat loss front. Shame.


If you are desperate for a diet shake and are heart set on Diet Whey then it won’t hurt and you will get a nice tasting shake but don’t expect to see much on the results front. 5/10
