Has anyone ever tried this? I went to GNC last night to get my Isopure and the man there had me try this muscle milk and it is AWESOME.. BUT I was wondering how good it is since it has 18g of fat and 12 g's of carbs 6 of sugars BUT it has 32 G's of protein. Is this ok to drink as a protein drink do you think? I have not called Dr. Aranow's office yet I figured I would check with the experts here first before putting in a call. Please let me know as I spent $30.00 on it. Thanks so much, Lisa

How many ounces is a serving? In MY personal opinion- 18G of fat is a lot to take in for 32 oz of protein. IMHO, I'd look for something leaner. I've got a protein bar on my desk today that has 8 grams of fat for 30 grams of protein, but is a little higher in sugar at 12 g. There is a lower sugar option available too @ 6 grams, but, my store was out of it, so I'm making do. good luck to you. Lisa C

Lisa, There are only 10 oz in a serving. After I drank it this morning my pouch hurt. It felt like a HUGE ROCK just sank into it. So I called Lois at Sr Aranow's and she said that it didn't sound all the good and that she wondered why I was still drinking protein drinks. Hmm That confused me I thought that was a FOREVER thing now since the surgery and figured that since I was not drinking them all that much that was why I am STUCK and can't loose a lb. She said that I am supposed to be eating about 65 -75 grms of protein a day.. WOW I haven't been doing that. I am never really hungry so I forget to eat. So I am going to try the eating thing and see if this plateau stops. I do the South Beach Diet bars. There are 10 grms of Protein in those ever have one??

The muscle milk is a bit too fattenning for me. I usually get the the GNC Gran Slam 50's when they are on sale, they have 50 grams of protien a can. At 3.75 a can , they are a tad too expensive at full price for my blood. I just mix up my own Protien shakes with non fat dry milk and Whey Protien Isolate. The Met-rx pure potien bars are not that bad either and they have 20 grams of protien a bar. Take care, Julio
