Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Okay, Mandy you were right! I bought the powdered gelatin today, and just had it in some hot cocoa, and I didn't notice any difference in taste at all. Wonderful way to add 6gms of protein. I did drink it pretty fast, in case it started to gel, but even at the last swallow, it didn't seem any thicker. I'd much rather have it in hot drinks than the protein bars. You just had to keep posting this suggestion enough times, that I finally got it on my grocery list! You also suggested it in coffee. Do you notice any change in flavor? Or have you tried it in tea? Next step is to make the gummy " bears " ! Joan LAP RNY 11/18/03 Dr. Higa, Fresno, CA 282pre-op/275surg/236/140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Mandy, I'd love to know a cheaper distributor. Yesterday I was wondering where I could get it cheaper. It was $8.00+ for a 32 pack. Didn't get the gummy candy made yet, maybe today. Had it with coffee this a.m. and it seemed no different than regular coffee. I remember as a teenager, my mom wanted me to take it to help my nails. They are still very thin and breakable. I also don't mind help with my skin and joints. My husband would see people I went to school with and say how wrinkled their faces were. Apparently mine has fine wrinkles at the outside corner of the eyes, and smile lines....but the fat was hiding them. It just amazed me that I could get in extra protein and not hate what I was eating/drinking. Twice a day is 12gms of protein!!! I could say goodbye to those nasty protein bars.....but as I bought them at Costco, I've got a lot left. I don't mind one bite here and there, but additional bites get worse. Again, thank you for this wonderful find! Joan LAP RNY 11/18/03 Dr. Higa, Fresno, CA 282pre-op/275surg/236/140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Pam, I've been saving hints in a file, and have this post from Mandy. " Today, my friend Jeanne turned me on to ... Sugar Free Gummy Bears. Imagine!!! Not bad at all ... and 48grams of Protein .. for a 3/4cup portion. Near ZERO carbs, depending on what sugar free sweetener you use. Ok here goes .... ready?? eight packages of Knox Original Gelatine UNFLAVORED .... one package of sugar free cool-aid or Crystal light .. a half cup water. Yep its that ////easy. Put it in all a bowl .. mix ... ( I added five packages of splenda to mine ) then place in your Microwave for up to two minutes. I kept watching mine. It boils up the sides a bit. Then pour it on a flat surface, I used a dinner plate which made a sort of fruit leather... then poured the other half into an ice cube tray. Place it in the freezer for FIVE minutes ONLY ... .. do NOT let it freeze... it just roles right off the plate like plastic ... let it dry ... and tahhhh dahhhh... a zero carb, high protein snack to munch on here and there. HAVE FUN WITH IT ... BE A KID AGAIN .. this was a blast. for those who are interested ... this recipe is 200 calories, 48grams protein....zero carbs... zero fat .... It doesn't get much better than that folks!!! " I'm eager to try it.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 , it's BulkFoods.com Shipping is free UPS ground, but they charge a $4.95 per order packing charge. I ordered today and got an email saying it would be shipped tomorrow. Yes, 1#...WTG..I'm waiting impatiently for mine to move, but will when it wants to. Wow, 112# in less than a year. I forget sometimes how lucky we are to be losing so fast, compared to a normal weight loss.
