What do you know about Profect?

Hi Folks, There is an ad in OH magazine for a protein suppliment called Profect ( http://www.protica.com/ )...does anyone have any experience with this product? What are MD's saying about it? How does it taste? Thanks for your input! Hugs, Amy

Hi Amy, I drink it all the time--It doesn't taste all that wonderful (but then I don't care for any of the protein suppliments all that much). It is very portable and handy--I carry it with me to the gym--so that if I stay past lunch --I won't miss getting in some protein. I am not a breakfast eater--so I often drink a quick protein drink--when I want to up my protein In order to jumpstart my weight loss--I take one a day) It is a little expensive --but my nutritionist says that is is okay to drink it as a suppliment. Hope that I have helped. Be Blessed, Marian S.C. 242.4/179.2/goal 125-130??

Hi Marian, Thank you for your reply. Your response confirms my first impression..it's a good, quick, way to get protein. I hope everything's going ok with you. Hugs, Amy

Hi again, Glad that I could help. It is good to have a fast little tube (not more than six inches tall) to throw in your bag. Especially when you are on the run. I'm doing well--I am a slow loser --so I tend to need lots of protein (I try to eat at least 75 grams per day) The tube is 25 grams and only 100 calories. A good trade off. Have a wonderful journey, Marian S.C.

It sounds good also for the first few months post op when tolerance is low and the pouch is small....it sounds like it would be good to help with keeping protein intake up when you don't feel like eating much. I'm glad to hear that you're doing well. Slow wt loss is probably better for your system in the long run. You look beautiful!! I'm not sure if your post pic is before or after, but you're model-esque! Thanks again Marian, Hugs, Amy

Thanks for the compliment--It is pre--op--but I was younger and --if you notice--I only did a head shot--Hee-Hee!! never add the body--scary!!! Be Blessed, Marian S.C.

Hi! Tastes yucky!!!! Go to bariatriceating.com and order your protein there. It is awesome, every one, and you can get sample sizes of most of them. REally, there are so many flavors and types to choose from you can't go wrong. And it's GOOD STUFF! Dont waste time, money or pouch space on yucky tasting stuff!! Good luck! Terri
