Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Phyllis, For premixed, I drink either the EAS Carb Control (15 gms protein) or the EAS Carb Sense (25 gms protein). For protein powder, I use Unjury pure Whey Isolate from Unjury.com -- I can mix this is any soft food. I guess I need to try and force myself to drink more shakes and up the protein. I been trying to get 50 grams a day. I can't figure out how to get enough fiber to fix the constipation problem. Cathy > Hey Cathy, I can't get all the water down either.
