Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Just to fuel the fire...LOL. I was drinking an occasional protein shake and only seeing a loss on the scale once every seven or eight days. I upped my shakes, and now for the past three days, I have seen daily movement of the scale. I'm psyched!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Barbara-I am keeping my food calories the same. I am not using shakes as meal replacements, but supplements. Although, I must admit, I'm not much of a breakfast eater, so I often have a shake in the am. Even then I still eat three meals a day, just starting LATER in the day. I'm thrilled, but it has only been three days. I will let everyone know if the loss continues. Every day is an experiment!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Thanks Laurie, Today is my first day using the protein shakes and I already feel better. I have been really sluggish. I don't know if it's a mental thing of not - but hey - whatever works right - but as of now - I ate breakfast, lunch and did a shake. I am going to do antoher shake before my walk at 2 - but I dont think I am going to be able to eat dinner too - Im pretty full.... Barbara From: LLLORY@...

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Is that for one serving or a few? That is the price of baby formula, yiles!!!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 It's cheaper if it isn't pre-made, Jeanne. ALso, if you become a GNC member, you get a 10% discount (or maybe it's even higher) for the first 5 days of the months or something like that. So, it may be worthwhile. You can get a humungous tub of it (with a gazillion servings) for $30 I think. As long as you are willing to mix it up. Robynntopazmisskitty wrote: Is that for one serving or a few?

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I personally recommend powders as opposed to the premixed. For one thing, they tend to be higher quality protein, as well as being CHEAPER and easier to transport. I also recommend getting a bunch of samples. The best place for samples that I have found is www.vitalady.com . Each sample is $1.99, good for approximately 30 grams of protein. That way you can try a variety before spending a bunch of money on a big container. I also use the samples for travelling. My favorite is chocolate Pure Whey Stack, followed by the banana Stack. I do NOT like the vanilla or strawberry though. The cocoa mochachinno is okay. -- Eleanor Oster eleanor@...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Thats one of the reasons I do do them..not regularly like most programs recommend...but at least one a day. I have more energy and Im not searching for something any thing to eat. You know that feeling where you want something to eat but dont know what so you keep trying a bite here a bite there. > > I know about the forever on going debate about the benefits or lack thereof of protein shakes. But I will have to say, I went out and bought a magic bullet last night (great thing - I am loving it so far) and forced myself into a protein shake for breakfast and I will have to say I FEEL INCREDIBLE!!! Now I have had some good days since surgery, but in 4 weeks, I have not had one day that I have felt THIS GOOD!!!
