Thoughts On Boost High Protein Shakes From Experienced Bandster.

[honk 780]

Hi. I don't normally start new topics but I wanted to get this out there. I've read several posts that people are using the Boost high Protein as their pre-op diet. While at the store yesterday I saw it and took a closer look.

My recommendation is to stop drinking this stuff!!!

If you read posts from a lot of experienced bandsters we highly recommend the Premier Protein shakes (ready to drink). Below are a comparison of some important Nutritional facts.

Boost High Protein Ready To Drink 8 oz

15 g of protein

Total Carbs 33g

Sugars 27

Cals 240

Fat 6

Premier Protein Shakes 11 oz

30 g of Protein

Total Carbs 5g

Sugars 1

Cals 160

Fat 3

Your doctor has you on a high protein/low carbs diet to force your body to burn protein and then fat. The Carb levels in Boost are out of this world. I'm sure they taste great but no surprise look at the sugars level. Yes I know Premier is at costco and BJ's (and possibly online) but there are other RTD shakes available at Walmart, and health food store that are better than Boost.

Just my opinion. Take it for what it's worth.

I agree! We have to really get used to checking the labels - the whole label!

the sugars are horrible!!!

I agree too you should check the labels for sugar content. I drink eas carb control with 1 gram of sugar just because it says high Protein doesnt mean its good for you
