I fought the pouch and the pouch won ETA I learned my lesson- (I blogged this too)
Before you start throwing empty EAS cans and gallon jugs of protein shake mix at me, let me explain. I was having the hardest time drinking the protein shakes ( I mean come on man, that stuff stinks) so I thought I would create my own nutrition program (yeah dumb I know) I only ate protein rich foods but trying to cram down enough to get anywhere near 70 g of protein/day was making me feel like a sausage in the microwave ( ready to flippin' bust) or . About 1 week of this and I notice I haven't lost a pound.... Hmm could this be related to my new super-stoopid diet program- of, course not so I repeat this idiot move for another week. still no scale mvmt... Did I mention that during this time I start to crave carbs like a mad woman, and even decided to have a margarita (not a good outcome- halfway into the margarita I was looking for a table to dance on and calling my husbands name like the wicked witch of the mess) but needless to say I have since gotten back on the right path (stinky protein shakes and all) and I lost 6lbs last week.
the moral of my story: don't fall prey to your own ignorance!!!! they gave you a plan because they wanted you to actually follow it. And from now on I plan too.

I heard about this Isopure and I'm going to try it! I cannot drink protein shakes, they make me gag, BUT I have not lost a pound in 2 weeks. I've found that now I can eat more variety of things....today, I had the inside of sushi (no rice) and shrimp. BUT, I could also eat on little crunchy wontons....I don't think that is good.
Thanks for inspiring me to jump on the Isopure wagon....
AND thanks for telling me a margarita will make me sick........I'm DYING for one.

The powdered crap makes me want to hurl! NO WAY! I won't do it! I've been using EAS AdvantEgde. 17 grams of protein 110 cal. 11 oz. I have no trouble getting in liquid so I can get through this is 15-20 minutes. It's smooth and creamy, no chunks, no grit. I get it at walmart and target for 5 bucks for 4 RTD shakes. I do one shake a day, 1 protein bar and 4-5 high protein mini meals. Good luck!
So far the Nectar is not killing me (like I was for sure it would). it is fruity flavored and the texture is more like juice than a thick gross protien-y shake... UGH!!! I want to try some of the other brands but in sample sizes. There was an older thread (possibly of BAF) that listed a company you could order samples from... Anybody remember what the site was??? I would hate to buy another super large container of something and then everytime I open the lid. There has got to be a better way.
