Question
I have two questions
1)I go to gym everyday. I take normal protein shake with soya powder added. Will it help to improve my muscles ?
2)Is "Whey protein" supplement is good for health. I have heard lot of negative feedback about it. As it effect liver & kidney
3) Should i really take whey protein or the normal protein soya shake?
Your body can use a small amount of protein of any kind, the rest does damage on the way out. Protein is made of amino acids, they are in almost any food, and you make your own proteins. This powder protein is snake oil, as over simplified as strapping a couple stakes to your upper arms.
Best resistance training takes half an hour a week. Power of 10 is one way.

Expertise
There is nothing on earth more important than your body, your health. With a little knowledge, there is nothing in life you have more power, more control over. If you are tired of feeling bad, stop eating badly. Most of what we eat most of: only a human mistakes this stuff for food. Distinguish real, satisfying food from the mere flavored packing material that keeps you hungry. If you`ve been on every diet twice and are going crazy, I can give you a path to Peace in the Kitchen.
Experience
In the late '80's my weight up and down reached a crisis. Arthritus in my back made it painfull to move. Balancing blood sugar had me eating more often. Eating more, moving less, miserable. My doctor smiled, said "just move more and eat less". This from a medical professional about to burst his buttons. Not a working plan. I knew I had to write my own, so I started researching what was new to put with what sorta worked for me in the past. Eat protein, eat carbs, just not at the same time. Never go around hungry, listen to your body, it can tell you what it needs.
