Question:
Has anyone ever tried these? Met-Rx RTD CarbFX Shakes

Hello. I recently purchased these and was wondering if anyone has ever tried them? I read through the reviews for Met-Rx products and it seems to be a love-hate thing. These are supposedly new and are their low-carb line (weight loss). They are in a red can. The flavors are: Vanilla Sensation, Chocolate Crave, Banana, and Cappuccino Latte. They have 160-170 cals, 0.5 sat fats/1 total, 2-4 carbs, 2 sugars, and 36 grams of protein. This is an 11 oz can. The statistics are okay, and in-line with other shakes. Now, hopefully they will taste okay. I am afraid these will be thick and sickly sweet, so I am figuring I can thin them with some water. Oh, my other point is the price. They are going for $2.00-$2.99 per can/$7.00-$8.50 per 4-pk online. I got them from Big Lots for $0.77 per can! I saw the ad and couldn't believe it! I live in Western PA/Pittsburgh area, so I don't guess they will be available to everyone. I will probably only have one of these a day as I have Nectar, Sci-fit, and CWS coming soon (Go Kimmie, it's yer birthday...)Well, wish me luck :) ... Take care. Kim    — Kim K.

Kim: I have tried the choc crave and I loved it...but that was pre-surgery. I have had a very hard time locating them. The place that I had gotten the one that I tried was way out of my way. I will have to check out Big Lots here! That would be great to get them for .77 a can!!!!!
