Slim Fast Low Carb

Does anyone else use the Slim Fast Low Carb.....20 grams of protein and 190 calories...low in carbs & sugar? I am trying to get some of my protein in this way...but....I still can't eat enough protein foods to get the other 60 to 80 grams of protein in. I have looked at other protein products and compared them to the Slim Fast and most of them have more carbs & sugars. Don't know how I am going to get protein in and keep calories in range.....I know that we don't necessarily count calories...but...we have to somewha****ch or we will defeat the purpose.....any suggestions?

I've used it before. It was to sweet to me. I didnt like the taste of it. It didn't make me sick or dump or anything but the taste was not the best. My fav protein is nectar fuzzy navel it tastes like sunny d w/ a kick. Theres also protein bars too . I'm sure I'm not getting in all the protein I should be either but I sure do try. Good Luck!!

Greetings, There is much better stuff out there then slim fast. Do you ever shop online? I would highly recommend going to www.bariatriceating.com. They have LOTS of different protein drinks, all very high quality and good tasting! Something for everyone, really. In addition, are you on solid foods yet? A lifesaver for me has been unflavored protein. (Designer Whey and AnyWhey are my favorites). You can mix it in with anything you eat or drink - mix it with your mayonaise and make egg, chicken, or ham salad. Mix it with your pudding, yogurt, soup, refried beans, etc... it gives you 20 grams of extra protein and only 90 calories. Also, I add vanilla protein powder (Body Fortress from Walmart is my favorite AND the cheapest) to my Tropicana OrangeAde so it gives me my fluids AND 20 grams of protein, with only 95 calories. Much better than the 190 from Slimfast!!! Also, if you log everything you eat into www.fitday.com, it'll give you a really good idea of how much you're taking in, in addition to tracking your progress, etc. I'm addicted to that site! I have lots more tricks i've learned throughout this process. If you'd like to know some more, feel free to contact me Angela, who's 77 lbs lighter
