Beth, Don't purchase those brands. I go to GNC and buy the Designer Whey Vanilla Praline, Vanilla or Chocolate Protein Powder Supplement which has less than 1 gram of sugar per serving. You mix these in a blender with juice, water or milk and I usually add strawberries and 1/2 banana and it's delicious. It's good that you are becoming an avid label reader, keep it up.

They might make you dump (they would me), but worse, they might mess with your wt loss. The Slim Fast I saw had the same sugar g as a real coke! The protein I use is 0g sugar, and since i mix with water & ice, it remains 0g of sugar.

I find the Designer Whey protein powders very yummy also. They are nice and smooth. I just mix a scoop with a cup of milk and 1/2 of an equal packet. That's all I do. Nothing fancy cause they taste good *as is*. One scoop with a cup of milk is about 25 grams of protein. You can order them real cheap from http://store.yahoo.com/esupps/desprotbar.html/ I bought a 2 pound can for $18.95. At GNC a 2 pound can is $29.99!
