Hi all, I am new to the group. I have been taking B12 supplements but i want to avoid injections. Has anyone heard of Eligen B12. My doctor and a friend of mine recommended it. Can anyone tell me what they think?

Topic: RE: Seeking Delicious Shakes w/Out Caffeine


In the past I had some problems with weight loss. So, I decided lose some weight. I found one diet, where I needed to eat only fruits and vegetables. I decided to try it. So I started to be a vegan, and prepared snacks for lunch which I put to special lunch boxes which I found on https://allinpackaging.co.uk/food-packaging/ if you want to lose weight you can use vegetable diet.

I will try that with unsweetened cocoa powder and almond milk in coffee... I had some dutch chocolate Isopure left over, so this weekend, I added it to coffee... Yuck. I LOVE mocha coffee and was hoping that it would be good. Are you using caf or de-caf coffee? I'm have a hard time giving up my one cup of caf coffee in the morning.

My new discovery is making a "slurry" with the plain protein powder and a little warmed milk (real or almond etc) then mixing this into a hot beverage. I've been using a packet of Truvia, two scoops (one serving) of the Isopure, and 3 TBSP low fat milk, then adding it to a mug of Green Chai Tea (Stash brand tea bags). It's to DIE for!!!

Also did this adding 2 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder, adding it to coffee - OMG so good!

Topic: Do You Hate the Sweet Protein Shakes? I Found a Solution

The worst part of the pre-diet was/is the protein shakes. Yuck!!! No matter what flavor I tried, they were sicky sweet. I began to dread them. Not good. I am not a sweets person. I am far more partial to savory. So the sweet thick shake thing was a bummer. But I found a solution. Unflavored (specifically Isopure unflavored) Protein Isolate! Add to chicken broth, tomato soup or even better, those no/low calorie single drink mixes (and the liquid ones are not as good as the little powder packets). Strawberry/watermelon or Tangerine/grapefruit. Tastes more like fruit juice. And you can control how sweet and strong the flavor is. Not that sicky sweet, thick, blech taste. Yay! I will make it through this!

I was taking a look at the 5 day pouch test online and then remembered ObesityHelp. Thank you for posting your results! I plan on starting this tomorrow since I already ate breakfast. Hmmm I think I will start today at lunch!
