Protein suppliments
Hi friends!
I just wanted to share with you a protein suppliment that is not too bad.......not great....but not too bad. I have been using the Isopure pre-made bottles. 40 grams of protein in a 20oz. bottle. Problem for me is they made my mouth soooooo dry and I really couldn't stand them for that reason. Anyway, while in The Vitamin Shoppe on Sunday the manager turned me on to another brand. They are called New Whey. They are sort of packaged in a test tube thingy. Bottom line is that they are 42 grams of protein in only 3 oz. tube. The manager in the Vitamin Shoppe really hit the nail on the head when he said most people who use these suppliments use them because they need to not because they want to. Anyway I hope this helps anyone who is struggling with the protein thing like I am. It truly is easier than the Isopure. 4 swallows and your done! Good luck to all!
Hugs, Judy
Hi Judy,
What a great tip.
Many of my patients like "59 Gram Slam" by GNC. 50 grams of protein for 270 calories.
There are lots of products....keep looking till you find one you like and remember your tastes will change...what you hate today may be just great, or at least fine, in a week or two.
Don't get hooked on suppliments but it is helpfull to have something that you like as a backup since getting enough protein is important.

I found the 42 gram New Whey a bit too chemical and couldn't get it down, however, the 25 grams of New Whey protein tube is very good. I add it to a 20 oz bottle of water and it is pretty good. Sort of tastes like Kool Aid. 
Granted, I have to drink a few of them but I don't mind, we have to get the water in anyway.

Judy,
I'm glad you tolerate them. I liked them before surgery - since surgery - I can't get it down. I tried mixing it with cyrstal lite and I think that was even worse.
Glad you found something that worked for you, though!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
i am also a fan of the 50 gram slam at GNC -- i have one every morning -- i am not a breakfast person -- breakfast was always at 3am in some diner and never at 7am like other people :)
ross on the other hand does not use any suppliments -- he gets all his protein from foods
everyone is different :)
