Guest guest Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Ok, the altitude has gotten to Momma Ceep. LOL Evil Ceep...you send Momma Ceep here right now. If she needs to kill time and avoid something...watching new puppies is the BEST way to do it! They are just so darn CUTE. I will even move one of the dogs out of the guest room. So, she can sneak in and peek at the pups any time she wants and she can rest and procrastinate all she wants.

Ceep's standard reply: It's just not my whey. ahhahahahahah! hahahahah! love, evil ceep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Sue, The premixed protein drinks are full of preservatives and the whey protein itself has been handled differently by the manufacturer. Also, the premixed shakes are pasteurized, killing any stuff that gets mixed into it before the canning process. Which do you think lasts longer without starting to grow bacteria and molds? Which is better for your health? Which tastes better? - warm homemade bread on the kitchen counter - store-bought bread with preservatives in a plastic bag - fresh-picked strawberries from the garden - strawberries from the store that have been sprayed with at least three chemicals - fresh warm milk in a stainless steel bucket from the cow shed - cold 2% pasteurized homogenized milk in plastic from the grocery store When it comes right down to it, it's your health you're risking. Not only might you be drinking a bucket of bacteria (gross), but you might be getting 0 protein grams along with the calories. Is it worth it to save thirty seconds first thing in the morning?

This is what the nutritionist said to me. " I have never heard that, if that was a fact all premade protein shakes would be deteriorating on the shelf. " I trust this woman-she has been on the money with everything so far, so folks...I will continue to pre-mix (and enjoy the convenience) unless I find something published that is more convincing. The thought of pre-mixing days in advance doesn't appeal to me though....just overnight at most. Have a great day!

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Hi everyone, when we take the protein shakes do they have to be 40% or 60% can we get by with just 40% as I can get that here but no higher without going to San , Texas? Thanks for the help, PS would it be ok to use the kind of jell pill (B-12) that you put under your tongue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I'm not sure I understand your question. Is your question about the % of protein to drink at a time? If so, I understand that our body can only absorb 30% of protein at a time and drinks should be 2 hours apart. Anymore protein than that can not be absorbed. I drink Protein Ice which has 40% protein in a bottle. I'm only getting 30% protein. Was that your question?

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Hi Cindy, Check out the vitalady.com website. They have samples that you can order which I think is great because then you're not stuck with a giant container of something you don't like. I have also bought protein powder from walmart and costco and I prefer the vanilla flavors because then I can add fruit or other things to them.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 You can also get samples at Vitaladay.com. She is a WLS success story herself and she owns the business. She is very nice and helpful and she and her staff are very knowledgable.
