I picked the wrong type of veggie soup. Do you guys know if vegeatble barley soup is ok to eat. Im in the introduction of food back in my diet.

It won't hurt you. But it's not doing anything for you, either. You have limited space. Focus on protein. If something doesn't have at least 10 grams of protein for every 100 calories, skip it.

Like Grim said, it won't hurt you, but any vegetable soup is a high carb low protein choice.

I appreciate the info. Im adding genepro protein  powder to it. So itll boost it up by 30g protein. That powder is amazing. 

I like genepro, it has worked for me...but a lot of mixed opinions on it...

Sorry, but Genepro is crap. Marketing bullcrap. They take advantage of the fact that supplements are not regulated .

You cannot get 30 grams of protein in a 15 gram serving. Not in our current universe.

What they have done is process the crap out of whey protein, similar to how other failed companies have done in the past. The other companies failed because their claims were also bogus. They all revolve around a molecule they call a hexapeptide.

The company throws around a lot of doubletalk, but you will not see a nutrition label the way you will on a reputable product.

They have an asterisk next to the 30 gram figure that says "equivalent." That's because their 15 gram scoop only has 10 grams of whey protein. They claim it is "equivalent" to 30 grams of protein because their Genepro is absorbed three times better than "normal" whey protein. They have only their own marketing hype to make this claim.

One of the things people seem to love about this product is that it dissolves so well compared to other whey powders. Well, duh. You are only dissolving 10 grams of whey, not 30, so of course it dissolves better. Take one third of your usual powder and see how well it dissolves. It will look like magic too.

The other big problem with Genepro is that they claim to be absorbed in the upper part of the digestive tract. If you had RNY or DS this wouldn't do you any good.

Unfortunately, people using this are thinking they are getting 30 grams of protein, when in reality they are getting only 10. That means the cost per gram is three times higher than you thought. Oh, and it could leave you malnourished to boot.

As obese and formerly obese people, many of us have been victimized by fake science, false promises, and diets, gadgets and gizmos that don't work. There is no super food that will make us lose weight, and no super supplement that provides three times the nutrition that it possibly can.

You are so smart... ... 

Thank you for that info. I am looking for an unflavored protien. Do you know of any good ones out there . I feel overwhelmed and not sure which one to buy. Thank you 

The unflavored protein that works best for me is Beneprotein.  It is made by Nestles and distributed through Walgreens and also at weight loss surgery centers and some doctor's offices.  For me it has the least amount of taste.  I purchased it through my weight loss center at first and then online from Walgreens.  They ship for free and very quickly.

Unflavored protein is not tasteless.  It just has no flavoring added to change the taste.  Many people like Unjury unflavored.  There are many other brands on the market. 

Every day on here I learn new things!
