Protein

Ok i am having such a hard time with trying to keep protein down. I have tried the shakes which i hate and the protein shots, thinking that would be quicker and it is but they are gross as well. Any clue on what you think i should do?

I presume you are on the liquid stage of your diet.

I bought samples of 10 different protein powders and three jugs of different protein powers. None of them were great but I did tolerate them. What I wound up using instead and liking the most were Sugar Free Carnation Instant Breakfast and Low Carb Diet Slim-Fast. Both tasted close to regular chocolate milk and when heated they make a nice hot-chocolate.

So I stocked up on these thinking I was gonna continue to need them, only to be taken off protein drinks at my last doctor visit. Now I've got to figure out what I'm gonna do with all this stuff:-)

A friend of mine had me try Unjury protein powders. I really like them a lot. You can mix it with milk or water. It has a ton of protein too! I liek the chocolate. They even have unflavored powders that you can add to your food. http://www.unjury.com/

I like the adkins vanilla shakes. They have 15 grams of protien, and they are the only ones I can keep down.

You can get unflavored protein to add to your regular menu. It might not be great with clear water but, it might work in juice.

The only one I know of by name is Beneprotein, it is the sister product to Benefiber. This protein is still a whey protein which I hear is the choice we digest the best!

God Bless!

Unflavored whey protein is also available by the brand name Any Whey.

Unjury also makes one.

I'd suggest using it in zero calorie water as opposed to juice, though.

Have you tried the new protein that Costco is stocking. It's called Weight Loss- liquid protein. Mix it with water and it taste like a diluted coolaide.Not bad .

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
