You simply cannot tell me that your diet is healthy when the aroma of your gastrointestinal tract is "death"
I think a lot has to do with the microflora one has. The microflora can absolutely be influenced by diet but part is simply unique to the specific person. The specific bacteria one is exposed to at birth has a huge impact for the rest of your life as your immune system tends to attack bacteria that you didn't have in your first weeks of life. Taking antibiotics can also permanently alter the micro flora. I know more than one family where one specific member has horrific farts but the others don't despite basically identical diet. So it really can just be bad luck. Not everyone drinking protein shakes gets horrific farts but some do.
He said "my usual morning protein shake", so...
For reference, i think the people who think that's healthy also think that protein bars are healthy.
One: maybe, in circumstances (like, starving). Usual: no.
Protein shakes are ok although you can get your protein other ways without having to buy expensive drinks but anyway protein in and of itself is fine, but if you just drink a bunch of protein shakes but otherwise don't change your diet. That's not a diet.
If you are on a diet and constantly feeling hungry because of it protein is a good way to make you feel full.
I just eat some cheese which is considerably cheaper.
Saw a metastudy a few days ago that concluded that current research suggests that too much protein (particularly when you don't exercise) can actually be quite harmful and shorten lifespan. Though we mostly have data on rodents because studying diet long term in humans isn't easy. It also varies based on the specific type of protein.
Shits complicated but daily protein shake with a diet that also contains a bunch of protein could very well be not the best idea.
