Atkins advantage shakes??? Anyone use them???
So we know I am having problems getting in my food...which means getting in protein too. So I found these drinks and they taste good to me. Only 1 g sugar...15 g protein and 160 cal. Do you think I could drink a couple of these a day to help me out??? I really like the strawberry, and bought the chocolate today to try.

HI Cheri
I drink the advantage shakes alot....also I get the Worldwide protein shakes (in a can) that are also good and they make them with 20mgs protein or 35 gms protein - I get the 35 gm ones. You can get worldwide at Trader Joes or Vitamin SHoppe.
Hang in there - its gets easier and time goes on.
Hey Chris
Do you mean my tax appt or my hair appt or both? And as for the tax appt - that went AWESOME - I don't have to pay....THANK GOD.....I break even $00 across the board - nothing back nothing to pay.....HOORAY . And as for the hair appt that went great as well (went to a new gal) - she didn't cut much off cause I want to let it grow some and have a different style but I LOVE the color - very blonde but not brassy...LOVE IT and will definitely go back to this gal.
how you doin?
Yeah Jean,
I am so happy you don't have to pay- gosh anyone on SSI shouldn't have to pay *if only I were President* your hair sounds great, can't wait to see it- I always go blonder in the spring/summer too- I definetly know what you mean about the growing out the hair- I just can't take it when it wont do anything and that is when I give up!!! I am doing wonderful- thanks for asking-- Chris
BB9 tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheri,
We all have to find the protein drink we like best ad that will probably change. Drink the one that works for you but like the other poster (Jean, I think) said you might want to try WorldWide with 35g of protein or maybe Isopurewith 40g. I used those alot for a long time. I got them from Vitamin Shoppee.
Good luck, it will get easier.

Hi Cheri,
I use the Atkins Advantage shakes, L really like them. You have
to try the Cafe Mocha Shake it is yummy!! I usually get them for
for about $4.99 at Stater Bros. I also use the Worldwide shakes
they actually have a lot of protein and all the flavors are great!
I tried the Slim Fast high protein shakes but didn't care for the
taste so I never bought them again. I will be four years out
on March 15th and still start my day off with a protein shake
everyday.

Hello Cheri,
I love these drinks. I buy them from Target or stop in a local 7 Eleven. When I was struggling to get my protein in I'll drink Pure Protein from the Vitamin Shoppe 35gms of protein- low carb/sugar. I would sip on it through out the day. I can now drink a can like it's water but after 2 years. I love Muscle Milk too...it can be sweet but its good. I still supplement after 2yrs. I sometimes don't have an appetite. I drink a shake...sometimes you have to experiment.
Hi Cheri,
I use the Worldwide Protein Shakes, vanilla 21grms/100cal.
They're cheapest at Trader Joes. I usually get them by the case as I drink one can per day. I use half a can in the morning with my pills and the other half in the afternoon with my pills. I need something more than water to swallow all those pills so I figure I may as well get some good protein along the way.
It's A Good Life!
