protein shake side effects

If there is a Costco by you try the Premier Protien chocolate..they taste like chocolate milk and I doubt you will have a problem with them.  Good luck!  Sorry you are having such a hard time.

Sounds like you're drinking it too fast.

i use the atkins advantage strawberry shakes, its not bitter or tooo sweet i put it with ice cause i have to have my protein really cold. ive tried all kinds of thinkgs, eusure, slimfast and boost found there alll to sweet for me and the carb counts crazy so i went with the powders cause they had lower carbs and one work YUCK!

i like that it has 15 g protein and little carb you can have 3 of thease a day with out going over your carb intake. i have not had the vinilla or chocolate sorry, but love the strawberry. there not tooo spendy unfortantly they come in a 4pk. you can give it a try with a 4pk and see whatcha think. but trust me i was in the same boat as you not ready to try another protein drink but knew i needed too.  i was drinking 1/2 at first and saving the other half the other thing i like about these they do not come in cans they come in little cartons so theres no metal taste ick. good luck finding one.

I found fat free milk at Braum's that has 13 g protein/cup! So excited! Made a shake with milk, greek yogurt and a few frozen mango pieces. Really good.

If you try to drink too much protein at one time, it can cause the problems you mentioned. I'm sure everyone tolerates different amounts. Might try smaller amounts.

 i hate drinking protein. i tried only drinking half a shake or 4 oz but then i never want to go back and fini**** because i hate it! so i try to get it all in at once. but i'll try again. because you make a good point. maybe i just can't tolerate too much protein. i can tolerate it just fine in greek yogurt but i don't like to eat that all day.

maybe there is another way for u to get ur protein in?? greek yogurt s a great idea jen and mimi...and it taste yummy. I would try that or figure out different ways to get ur protein in. good luck and im glad u see ur doing better mel!!

Muscle Milk Lite from Sam's club has 20g protein and tastes pretty good.  I buy the premixed stuff.  It only has like 160 calories and 8 effective grams of carbs.

 i've seen muscle milk...i'll try it.

mix up only a half serving at a time or less. or mix it up and only pour out a couple of ounces. get it as cold as possible. chill glass if needed. use a tiny pretty glass or demitasse cup.  nothing worse than the last couple of ounces of room temperature protein drink. keep the rest in the fridge or freezer until you are ready for it. doctor them up with unsweetened coco powder, cinnamon, almond extract, pb2 powder or other things from the spice cabinet. sometimes just the smell of cinnamon or something that smells good is a big help.

i also found it better to shake up drinks rather than blend them because of the amount of air the blender mixes in. thats hard to take early on. so avoid extra air.

and teraswhey protein powder in dark chocolate or vanilla bourbon really does taste a little better and doesn't have that barfy smell when you open it up. pricy but worth  it. didn't like their blueberry though. chocolate is very dark choc. gl. hope this helps. D

 thanks for the tips. sigh..i'll try it.
