A member asked:
I take whey protien and i gained a lot of wight, would it be the reason? and its a lowfat/carb one, i also didn't change anything in my diet.

Possibly: It also depends on what was mixed in with the whey protein. Did the product you used contain a lot of calories due to added sugars and/or fats? Check labels carefully to understand what you are actually consuming.
