Protein Mixes at Dr. Iragu's
Hi,
As you might remember from an earlier post, I just discovered the "wonders" of the protein mixes Dr. Iragu's offfice sells -- (hot beverages like cappucinos, hot chocolates, soups). A lifesaver since I hated all the other supplement options and found myself "skipping." BAD GIRL!
NOW each day I am enjoying a double serving a cappucino or hot chocolate and a single serving of a soup. That's three envelopes for 45 grams of protein and 24 ounces of fluids. Obviously my foods and other beverages make up the difference so I have a "balanced" diet. But my "goal" is to use these mixes to their optimal effectiveness, (since they are a good protein source and I like them!).
Who else out there uses these mixes and how often per day, suggestions for use....?????
I gotta laugh...just this very MINUTE I am drinking a hot chocolate. I'm a total fan and was just getting ready to post about how good I think the mint hot choc is, I also like the cinnamon alot too.
My usage varies, when it's cold out I drink one first thing every morning as my wake up before breakfast. My surgery was in March and these really soothed my lil pouchlet when I had trouble with cold liquids. I slacked off over the summer once I could do cold stuff. As soon as the weather turned, here I am right back with them in the mornings and evenings when I want a treat. The mint reminds me of a hot liquidy Girl Scout Thin Mint
Linda,
I am totally with you on the mint and cinnamon hot chocolate! Actually I like all the hot chocolates and all the cappucinos and the cream of tomato soup and the mushroom soup....I am just totally thankful that I found a way to get my protein in. FINALLY! I was feeling lost when I couldn't get the hang of the shakes or cold drinks. Starting to worry about my health too. After all, I am two months out and I was still experimenting....
You know what? You also said something very true about the cold stuff. Never thought of it. I cannot tolerate cold drinks as well as I do hot beverages. So anyway, I raise my mug of vanilla cappucino to you!!!!!
