Hello everyone,

I am on a special diet and looking for a protein so I can start hitting a gym.
However most of the proteins I found contain stuff which I cannot eat on this diet.
There is one shop in Switzerland that does a perfect version but unfortunately they neither ship nor have distributors in UK.

Now what I am looking for cannot contain (rough translation):
dextrose
sucrose (saccharose)
fructose
glucose
milk powder
cornflour (cornstarch (US) maizena (GB) )
flour
sugar
sucralose
lactose

I got some examples also how certain flavours should look its a direct translation from German
Whey vanilla

INGREDIENTS: Whey protein isolate 93% (Ireland), thickener (guar gum,
Xanthan), flavors, emulsifier soya lecithin, sweetener aspartame (contains a
Phenylalanine), vanilla extract and vanilla seeds 0.6%.

Whey banana

INGREDIENTS: Whey protein isolate 93% (Ireland), flavors, thickeners
(Guar gum, xanthan gum), emulsifier soya lecithin, citric
(Citric acid, ascorbic acid), sweeteners (sucralose, aspartame). Contains
a source of phenylalanine.

Whey Choco

INGREDIENTS: Whey protein isolate 86% (Ireland), cocoa-reduced 10%,
Thickener (guar gum, xanthan gum), emulsifier soya lecithin, flavorings,
Sweetener aspartame (contains phenylalanine).

If anyone knows anything similar or as close as possible to this please let me know :)

That one you've linked to contains milk products and sucralose, so I'm not really sure you know what you're looking for.

That has Sucralose in it.
However it's not hard to find what you want. It'll just have to be flavour free. 100% pea protein.

It'll just taste disgusting.

Google will show you loads

Why not just add some more fish or meat to diet?

Program on TV last night did numerous tests with people of all ages doing controlled exercise and shakes for 8 weeks. Half had protein and half had a normal shake.

No evidence whatsoever that protein shakes did anything.

Just sayin'.

Because you and they don't understand the point of them. If you're not doing enough at the gym, or you're not eating enough then you won't see progress.

Protein shakes are an easy quick way of getting some more calories in to your diet where or when you need them as well as helping to start the recovery process.

They're not supposed to "do" anything that food doesn't do.

Not surprised in the least, unless your body is trying to use more protein than you give it, extra protein will just be turned into energy.

Because it's just food, it's a 'supplement' not a magic powder.

Any reason you can't just get more protein from your existing food sources?

What is your special diet?

I am already eating loads of meat and broccoli the diet has basicly restriction on certain sugar types and because I am starting gym again after injury and I know myself I will be brutally hungry every time after I need to fill it with a nice protein shake even if the studies says it does nothing it makes me feel less hungry and thats the important bit.
 
Really was expecting more jokes about "special protein" :(

In seriousness though, protein shakes are obviously not a magic bullet. I don't think anyone on this forum thinks or has suggested that.

There's plenty of the guys on here that don't really use them in their diet and they're stronger than most average gym goers, I can't remember the last time I broke into my pouch.

It's mostly clever marketing to the masses "Take this, get hench" with a ripped guy on the advert, they just miss out the massive amount of dedication,training and general diet manipulation it takes alongside the odd shake.
