Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I have started using the Atkins shakes instead of breakfast to get my protein in and they are good but expensive! Everything else I've tried tastes like chalk or is just plain gross. Anyone have any other recommendations. I'm 5 weeks out and still having trouble getting ENOUGH calories in. What a switch, huh. Thanks! Bridget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 My favorite is Mega Whey at GNC. It has 40 grams of protein. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Bridget: My favorite is ProBlend 55...the chocolate and vanilla both are good...I use 1 scoop of powder, some sugar-free syrup, blend and pour over ice. I like this much better than the Atkins Shakes and it doesn't have as many calories. Check out vitalady.com and you will be able to purchase samples.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Sherry, I don't think there is a legal protein powder, and this one is not legal.The SCD is naturally high in protein with ample meats, eggs and fish. It is hard to impose this on a teen. Perhaps you could convince him to go on a trial run of one month. It makes sense that he would want to go out to eat with his friends and especially if this is his senior year. If not, then maybe you can be SCD legal at home. This won't completely work, but it will teach him what to do if at some point he chooses it. PJ > > Hi all, > > My son (17) is not yet willing to start the diet, but wants to get in some way of getting more protein in-his appetite has decreased recently. I looked up some info online and was wondering if this powder would be legal. Even though he's not eating the SCD way yet, I still want to offer him things that would fall into the legal catogory as much as I can. It's called " Nutiva Hemp Protein Powder " . I tried to cut and paste the nutritional info and it wouldn't come up. If anyone has two minutes to look it up and give me your thoughts, I would be very thankful. > > Sherry > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
