body fortress protien ???

Has anyone tried the chocolate or the fruit punch flavors?
If you have, please share what they are like.

I was told by my Dietian not to use body fortress at all... it was probably her choice but being diabetic she told me no....

on the other hand... Thomas (here_me_roar) turned me onto Syntrex Nector.... the fruit flavors... they are good both with milk and with water.... and mix very well.... I bought mine offline from netrition.com   but i did see some at Akins in Tulsa yesterday... and also in Akins in OKC a week ago

Body Fortress has 3 Carbs per serving and 2 sugars so I have no idea why your dietian said no. I would be interested to know why they said no on it. I am Diabetic and my PCP told me it was just fine. But if your doctor says no then listen to your doctor. When I told Dr. Walton the drink I was using he gave me the ok because it WAS so low in carbs and sugars.

I have the chocolate, cookies and cream and the vanilla and like all of them. Sometimes I mix 1/2 vanilla and 1/2 chocolate because I just don't like it tooooo Chocolatey. I feel like this protein was the reason I was able to lose my preop weight. I made sure to drink one a day and sometimes 2 and the pounds consistantly dropped. It is also full of vitamins and minerals. The price also fits my budget so It is a keeper for me. I didn't know they had fruit flavors. I do know that many have tried the Syntrex Nector and hated it and the costs so I wouldn't spend my money on something that you haven't tasted yet that was so expensive. Also, did you check with your dietian before trying the Syntrex Nector? I have been told by my Nut to becareful with all the recommendations on here because most of them that she has heard about are not allowed by our Clinic. For instance the Dreamfields Pastas and alot of the cereals. The best thing is to listen to our Nuts. and always check with them on these products.

Sherrie, would you be willing to send me a scoop of the chocolate in a ziploc bag in the mail. I would like to try it before buying it.
Emily

Yes, mam, I sure would be willing. PM me your address and I will send you a scoop of any I have. Have you tried any of them? I have the 3 kinds I mentioned.

Sherry

I did ask about the necter and yes she told me it was fine.... Also she told me that EAS was what i was to use..... as far as the dreamfields i was told i could have that along with flax z snax... but then again I am LISTENING to my NUT and doing exactly what she said.   As far as the body fortress my nut said that it contained a synthetic that was detrimental to liver function.   I will find out tomorrow from my nut exactly what it is.   When telling me what to use in the prelim..... she said that some of her clients had liver problems due to the synthetic.... but then again it is her opinion.

Brenda, I hope you weren't offended by my saying to listen to our Nuts rather than alot of the people on here. The Nut is the one who told me to be very careful about some of the people who are recommending alot of products on here and specifically mentioned the Pasta's and cereals along with the B-12 issue that went around a few weeks ago. She just warned me to always check with her. I know many Clinics are totally different so you may be allowed to eat differently than we at WW can. I just usually mention to check with their own Nut when I do recommend something just in case. I was very curious as to the reason your Nut said not to use it. I would think that it would be recalled if there was something dangerous in it but please let us know what you find out when you ask.
Thanks
Sher

I probably did take it wrong but then yesterday was a bad day for me... I had an emergency eye doctor's appointment because over the weekend i burst some blood vessels in my eyes and lost a large part of my eyesight that i wasn't expecting... it is possitlbe that i can get this back it is just going to be a matter of time... but when i have to blow this computer screen up to 400 % just to read it makes me irritated... i am severely diabetic according to my endocrinologist and after years of being stupid thinking i am doing the right thing i have done a lot of unnessessary damage... i take full blame for it... but i have been to two Nut's over the last two years both of which tell me what i am to eat and what i can't.   I am making better choices but before i put a d*** thing in my mouth i have to call and ask because it is something that i have to do.  I got lap band at the request of my endocrinologist and for myself because i would be dead in a few years as it is if i don't lose weight.... I am 42 years old and right now I am following a very low carb diet to try and get my weight loss at it's maximum and so my d*** sugars will stay down and quit wrecking havoc on my body.   So if i snapped at you it wasn't you... to be honest i just was cranky and i know that wasn't an excuse.   I take what i see on here write it all down and then email my Nut's.... both of which are on my dang speed dial and email .....pretty soon they both will probably join my family because i talk to them more than my own family..hahaha  thanks sher

I have spent over $200 on nectar protein and haven't found one I like.

That is awful!! Maybe someone on here likes it and will buy it from you.  I don't know about you, but I don't have money to throw away on this stuff. What one person likes does not always guarantee that we all will. I'm all about cheap and decent tastes. I can tolerate what I have to do to get by for now, but I have to have cheap!
