Re: protein shakes - any suggestions?

---Wow!!! 91 pounds in 15 weeks!!! I've never heard of thatmuch

weight loss in such a short period of time. I'm almost 12 weeks out

and I've only lost 54 pounds!! But I " m VERY happy with that. I use

Isopure whey protein drinks. I love them; 25 grams of protein per

scoop and you can mix it in a blender with fruit. Its also carb-

free!! You can get it at GNC or any store like that.

Hope that helps

The Designer Whey Chocolate flavor is pretty good. I am 5 months post -op

and I still have one everyday for breakfast. You can get it at GNC.

I use 100% Whey Protein from GNC. I get the vanilla and mix it with skim

milk and a banana. Here lately I have been using half Carb Countdown Chocolate

milk and the other half skim..

I had run out of my Vanila Whey Protein and was looking for a Health

Food Store in the area. I was looking in vain for one that carries

the Champion Brand, and assume I might only be able to get it online.

I found one store near me, and the beefy, bulky good-looking guy

behind the counter asked what I was looking for. I usually like to

find things myself, but told him so I wouldn't look too stupid. I

asked if he carried Champion and he said he had something better. He

compared his favorite brand with another on the shelf and told me his

favorite product has less carbs, less cholesterol, and less fat and

about the same protein ( One gram less per scoop ). It came in some

interesting flavors : Berry, Cafe Mocha, Gourmet Vaniila, Smooth

Banana, Butter Cream Toffee, Orange Dreamsicle, Chocolate Mint, Rich

Chocolate, Green Apple and Pina Colada, of which he carried 7 or 8 of

the 10 flavors. I got vanila and the toffee. The toffee is great but

too sweet for the a.m. as I drink my shakes about now: 5:00-6:00 a.m.

The price was a little hefty at $29.00 each, but no tax and I do not

have to pay for shipping, so I save a few pennies there. The product

name is Dymatize Nutrition by Proline. For a body builder, he was

very nice to this fat woman, and I bought them mostly being grateful

to his attitude towards me, but the shakes are very good! Next time

I go, I want Chocolate Mint and Cafe Mocha.

He also told me just to shake them, as I get too much foam when I use

the blender. I could have stayed there all day asking him questions -

he was that helpful and enthusiastic ( and cute ).

I know this is a terrible stereotype, but that guy being nice was

one thing but to be built and good looking AND nice got me to buy

from him more so than if he hadn't been. Good looking people catch

our eye, and I wanted to stay there all day talking to him. I am not

sure if he could carry on a conversation about anything other than

building protein and whey products, however. The world judges us from

our outwards appearances. The guys I work with are cute, and they can

walk all over me. Of course, it is their personalities, too. I

wouldn't let just anyone drag me around the gym by my gait belt. >;D

Okay, enough rambling. Off to work I go. Janet

$29.00 each, Dymatize Nutrition by Proline.

Forgot to mention they have 5.5 lbs of protein each/87 servings. They

are very good - just had the vanilla.

I had bought another protein shake at a health food store over a

month ago. It was on sale - buy one, get one free. $25.00 each, and

they were not so good. The tastes were a little off and not

appetizing to me. I am much happier with my new shakes. janet
