Protein question-

How many of you are still drinking 2 protein shakes a day? When I had my follow-up, the Dr told me I need to continue my 2 protein shakes a day. He said that might be the reason my weight loss has stalled.

My doctor says 2 protein shakes a day forever. I haven't been really good about that which probably explains why I am still 25 to 30 pounds from goal even at 18 months out. I need to get back on the protein wagon here and get to goal.

Hi Sharon, My Doc doesn't believe in the shakes, but, since I started drinking at least 2 a day I started losing weight again. I sometimes get 3 in for the day. You need to get at least 70 grams of protein a day & that is pretty hard to do with the food that we eat. I was at a stall for a long time, & my PCP said it was due to lack of the protein I was eating. My body t thought I wanted to stay at 200 lbs. I drink the Champion Whey, I feel it tastes the best (chocolate keeps me from eating candy bars). Hope this helps a little. This questions always opens a can of worms. Some believe in the shake & others don't. Hope this helps you our somewhat. Marilyn, the Bearlady

I do 1 in the a.m., 5 days a week, but I've been stalled for a long time. Good luck with this! Maureen
