Question:
Has anyone used the Ultra pure protein drinks by Met-rx

I have been using the ultra pure protein Drinks made by Met-rx since bout 6 weeks after surgery. am now two months post op and was wondering who else has been using the drink and if maybe I could loose faster if I upped my protein count. THe drink has 170 calories 1 g fat and 2g sugar but the best is it has 35g protein. I was told by dietitian that cause of my height 4'11" I would only need 40 grams aday, I do get my protein from other sourses like chicken, beans, cottage cheese and such but was just wondering if I should up the protein. The price is quite costly since I buy them at Trader Joe's at about $2.19 a can. Anyone found them cheaper? My favorite is Frosty Chocolate and I could drink these forever, they are that good I believe. I am curently down 35lb's at 2 months YEA!    — Diane S. (posted on December 22, 2002)

Yes, it would boost your wt loss to take another one. I don't use this brand (too much volume, too sweet & too spendy for me). I use a powder, which is more econo to use & I prefer the taste. 160 cal, og sugar, 32 g protein when made with water.

Yes, I love their drinks! Much easier than mixing and they taste great to me. I order them from www.wlssuccess.com for $2 per can, but I can pick them up at my Dr's office so I don't have to pay the shipping charge. I usually drink 3 per day to ensure that I get 90 grams of protein.
