I am on the diet for the 2nd time, since my first surgery was cancelled right before it was to take place. I have til monday, jan 5. I have been mixing my own shakes cause I hate even the atkins shakes. It is whey protein, vanilla and i mix it with those tubes of suger free, like, lemonaide, fruit punch , koolaid, + 3pks of splenda , water and ice and it only has 5 carbs and 26 grams of protein and I have also mixed up me some sugar free peach jello and then added my scoop of protein and drank it like that & it was pretty good too. i just drank it and didn't let it jel. Ain't nothing good !!!!
