What Winston said.
Don't believe all those protein myths. Lots of research was funded by the meat and dairy industry, with tests done on rats, which have significantly different nutritional needs to us.
If it worked due to a placebo-effect, whatever, it still worked; only the effect wasn't event-specific enough, it tasted shite, and I couldn't be bothered with it anymore. I prefer 'real' food, don't do energy or recovery drinks, and found that being more disciplined about WHEN I ate and drank was the most salient factor regarding improving performance/fitness.
I'm all for scientific experiment and conjecture, but you see a lot of lab-based results (or those from research which attempts to emulate competitive conditions) that don't really marry up with athletes' real-world findings/feelings.
I'm going to stop creatine a fuss now.
