 Was having so much fun playing with my kids that I actually forgot to eat until about noon, and then nearly keeled over from low blood sugar.  Must remember not to do that again!

B:  coffee, cream, sweetener

L:  egg/cheese/yogurt omelette

S:  Trying a myoplex soy/whey shake, will see the consequences

D:  protein-style burger

I think my intolerance is mostly due to additives and not to the "whey " per se.

I would get really sick on some (i.e. unjury) and get a lot of nausea, vomit or get upset pouch, insides
But since I switched to all naturals - and some that do not make too much foam as you mix it - it is much better.

I stick mostly with whey isolate from About  Time Whey. I can drink that on water , or with almond milk. Or can add that to my cooking. .   - backing.
I can also tolerate some (not much) Whey concentrate: MRM all natural Whey.. (MRM - have 2 - all natural flavors). 

The rest of protein shakes - one day I can have another can make me really sick.

 Okay, dish!

What protein drinks do you tolerate?

Middle of the week... so much work... not enough time and desire to do it.
Anyway... since yesterday I had the fruits anyway ... I end up with some extra sins... wine...at the end of the day.  But I really needed it. Stress.

Today... well, it is not going to be supper low carb day... but I will try to limit the damage.

coffee + almond milk
2 peaches + nuts (there we go again...)
coffee+ almond milk
protein drink (very low carb) .
beef+ cucs
flax/protein muffin 
dinner - meatloaf + fresh salsa... (maybe)


flax/protein muffin  (use 1/4 cup flax meal, 1/4 cup protein powder, 2 eggs, stevia, backing powder; then nuke in a larger cup -16 oz for 3-4 min).

Sorry to hear about the whey drinks.
You positively sure it is the whey and not the additives as combined with whey?

I know that some of whey drinks make me sick, but some do not.  And then I found out  that it was the additives in the proteins that made me ill.  Since then I found some brands that I can have and really enjoy them.  Others - not so much. 

Have you found an alternative to whey that you can drink? (I do remember yo posting a question about that and I was telling you that soy is poison.- still believe in that).

Good luck today.
BTW: About the chocolate cake - I know what you mean. But at this point in my life - I tell people how much I appreciate the thought... at the same time I tell them that I can't have any due to severe allergy to sugar and flour.    But then I do get severe RH... and I can get really sick...


I bet the cake was fantastic... I get the stupid RH after freaking fruits... in a  way - you are lucky you can have a cake (some days I get really upset at my restrictions).  Now - you will have to work extra hard...

 Oh Hala, I can totally relate.  I did great this morning, four eggs, butter, coffee with cream ...

Then I got to work and this wonderful lady made me a chocolate cake.  I'm not kidding -- she made it for me.  Me.  So .... I really felt I had to have some (it was delicious, worth every bite) but now, of course, I'm sort of starting from bite one, so to speak.  

Also seem to have developed a reaction of some kind to whey protein drinks, not sure why, and that means that my quick and easy protein fix is unavailable, for the time being.  

Not even goin to list what I ate today .... suffice it to say, no matter how great it's been, there's chocolate fudge cake right smack in the middle of it!

Topic: Tuesday carbs
Messed up really badly today.   Bought some fruits over the weekend and I was eating way too many lately. Got stupid and bold.  
This morning ate fruits with some cheese for breakfast.  Stupid. Really? what was I thinking... fruits first thing in the morning?   My RH raised its ugly head and kicked my butt. Big time. A reminder why I need to stay low carbs. Specially in the morning.

Today will try to work on the damage (once i get bad RH episode I get low blood sugars for a few days.. unless I follow a strict and timed diet. Crap)
Coffee + almond milk
peaches + cheese
more peaches..
almond butter. more cheese...
Protein shake
beef + cucumbers
yogurt + flax _ proteins.
