Protein Ideas

What types of protein are you doing? I am doing lean protein, Isopure and Smartforme. I don't think I get enough though....any suggestions!

I do Profect vials, however I LOVE the Smartforme berry protein drink also! I need to order some more, been out of those for a few weeks now.

What flavors...how much do they cost?

My fav is the blue raspberry Profect, however I bought a case with all the flavors thrown in, and am ok with any of them. I get them on ubid.com now - waiting on them to throw up another auction so I can get more! The last auctions they had on them ended last night. I've bought them off the protica web site, but they are a bit more pricey. I did notice my weight loss picked up after I started drinking the vials.

hose vials are very priceys after reading your post I was wondering how a you could afford them on a regular basis. I love the 1 vial I tested out, it went down so smooth and was not too sweet .

I can afford them because I no longer spend $6 a day on fast food for lunch, nor do I dump money into the soda machine and vending machine at work, and I don't buy as much food for myself at home. So, with the money I now save I buy my protein. I was buying a case on Ubid for $39 plus shipping, however if they don't have an auction up soon I'll be on profect.com to get my next shipment. More expensive, but other than the Smartforme berry drink I haven't found anything else I can stomach. And to order online from Smartforme comes out pretty close to the same price.

I too had a problem with not getting enough protien, but now I use Adkin's protien bars and it seems to help me. I hated every kind of shake I tasted (not a milk - or anything that looks remotely like milk fan), so now I do the bars, plus I eat alot of chicken.

I struggled with protein until I discovered Unjury unflavored protein powder. It has 20 grams per serving. I have been mixing it with fat free/no sugar added hot cocoa mix. I also try to eat one protein bar each day, I have been able to tolerate the South Beach Diet meal replacement bars (Wal-Mart). These two give me 40 grams of protein. The rest I take in through milk or food. Good luck, Lynne

I have been using Rob Hobbs Vanilla with Organic Orange Juice it gives me 24 grams per 8 oz and I shake it and dont use a blender. This is the only one I like. Isopure is just gross to me. Diana

i also love the profect vials! they are 25 grams for about 3 ounces. very easy, but pricey. ive been drinking them since i was 2 weeks post op. kim
