Some fantastic BBC reporting....
[i]"It felt like I was on drugs. I was shaking and I got angry. It also had an effect on my girlfriend who didn't want to be around me when a had taken it."
Although he still takes protein and creatine gym supplements he says he has cut down from seven to four shakes a day.[/i]

Some of these supliments, especially the pre-work out and diet bars can have very high levels of caffine in them in adddition to other chemicals.
Caffine is a drug, a stimulant, so yes he did feel like he was on drugs.
<ETA>I don't know if his had caffine in.</ETA>
A bit misleading of the BBC to use this quote, with typo, under a heading mentioning only protein.
I've had too much Red Bull before and know what effect it has on me, so I dont drink that much of it. If it was causing him and his girlfriend that much of a problem, he should have stopped/cut down before it was a problem.
People should read the lables, follow guidlines, and understand what they're consuming, IMO that goes for all foods not just the supliments.
Eating 7 boxes of chocolates a day would make me ill, should I cut down to 4 boxes?

Anyone else find this funny?
They interview some pencil neck kid who doesn't know which way is up but is quite happy to play up to get interviewed.
That's quality reporting right there!
From my nearest town, oh no - warning They interview some pencil neck kid who doesn't know which way is up but is quite happy to play up to get interviewed.

There seems to be a real boom in people doing exercise around the country. I don't know if it's the Olympics or Tour de France or mid life crisis renaissance men taking up sport instead of buying Porsches.
Perhaps these 'anything to do with health might be bad' is a response to that.

It's "man bites dog" though, isn't it? "Healthy diet is good for you" isn't news.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19241924

People shouldn't completely depend on supplements. There's nothing nicer than a nice steak or grilled fish for your real protein.
I can't imagine what his toilet is like downing 7 shakes a day....
Absolutely this! Clart of the highest order.People shouldn't completely depend on supplements. There's nothing nicer than a nice steak or grilled fish for your real protein.

Quick google - is the muppet in the report not the same richard cook doing sports studies at college?
Can't find anything on this? But a couple of months ago I was shopping in the Chesterfield branch of Tesco with my two 7 year olds. The skinny kid on the checkout (looks similar to the photo, so could be him?) asked who the protein bars were for (wth - for the twins? durr...) and then lectured me about what I should be buying & eating. Said he was at college studying sports science. Looked like he'd have struggled to lift the tub of protein off the belt...Lost_BMW said:

In fairness to him, he is just displaying a passion for what he's into.Mind you, it's one reason I prefer to train in the privacy of my own home. Besides, nobody laughs when I face-plant a planche.

So THAT's the reason why he's going for Pea Protein. Suddenly, it all becomes clear.No need to get angry. Here's a lovely piano solo to help you relax: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rccD1EWenio&fea...
