Protein

Hey ladies..... I hope all is well. I do have a question....Can anyone help me with finding a protein supplement? I feel that i am not getting enough protein. I have tried MANY, like Unjury -nasty, Nector - gross and that is to just name a few. See i have naturally curly hair that is red. All my life when I took showers the tub drain stopper would be loaded with my hair and that is all my life, I don't brush my hair, I pick it and again there has always been hair loss, BUT I think I may be noticing more and I am freaking out. I LOVE my hair and I don't want to lose it. Not sure what to think....can anyone offer some advice?? I am protein savy with everything that goes in my mouth. I ALWAYS go for protein first. Has anyone tried Muslce Milk. It does have a lot of fat in it, but the "good" fats. I need so advice........ Chell

Have you tried Carnation Instant Breakfast no sugar added? That's pretty good. I also just got a splenda cookbook that has a couple of protein drink recipes in it; I'll post them tonight (if I can beat my husband to the computer!) or tomorrow. Do you eat protein bars? I have a protein drink each morning and a protein bar for an afternoon and an evening snack. If you like the protein bars you might not have to worry about liquid proteins. My favs are Power Crunch Bars peanut butter and chocolate, and Q-Smart Bars. Good luck! Lisa

Hi, I drink the pure protein shakes, The bananna cream is the best. Has to be very very cold and you get 35 grams of protein per can!!!! Good luck, Patti

I like ProComplex in chocolate. I buy from GNC

ISOPURE is great. It looks and taste like a sport drink and comes in about 6 flavors. (Apple melon, mango peach, grape, orange pineapple are just a few) they come in 20 oz bottles and one bottle has 40g Protein, 55mg Calcium, 45 potassium, 0 carbs, 0 sugar. You can get them at the GNC store, here in Columbia there on sell buy, one get one half off, until like 8/25. Judy

I grink a atkins advantage every am & i put an extra scoop of whey in it & add choc syrup sugar free & blensd it taste like choc milk yummmmy

This is the best tasting I have found it tastes like neslie quick without the protein smell or taste. You can order free samples at bottom of page I just ordered to jugs myself. http://www.healthfitnesschannel.com/index22.html Marcey

I could not stand protein drinks at all for the first 3 months after surgery. I tried all kinds of samples that I was given at the hospital and doctor office, but they sure tasted nasty and I gagged. I got some 100% Whey Protien powder from GNC and put it in the blender with a half cup of coffee and then pour in a half a cup of skim milk and it is GOOD. I don't put the milk in the blender because it foams up too much.. It's like a Moca drink and you don't taste that nasty after taste either! It has about 20 g of protien in a scoop, I put a scoop and a half and use the choc flavor.

Hey Chell, The vitamin Shoppe sells New Whey protein vials. They look like test-tubes hold 3 oz of fluid that has 25gms of protein. The red one I find a bit "soapy" the blue on is ok but I can finish them in a couple of swallows. I work night shift so I take one to work every night and that covers half of my protein requirement. Did you try more than one of the nectar protein? I love the lemon tea...it has been a god send for me!!! Bariatriceating .com does a sample pack of about 15 different types for $25 this is where I found which one I like, Hope this helps Lesley

Nectar is nasty!! I love ANY WHEY protein powder and I mix it with the carb countdown yogurt drinks, they are by DANNON, not yoplait and are red. Make sure they only say 3 gms of sugar. I also like the profect protien drink, it is in the test tube thing and flashing next to me right now. Not "the" best tasting, but better than most things. I pour it over ice, and get it real cold and it is good. So, keep up the good work, and try some of the egg whites too. www.eggwhitesint.com Take care!! Deb
