WhoozisAnyway 176 Posted March 28, 2012 Just a thought . . . The Silk &Protein is rather high in sugar and carbs and only has 5 grams of Protein. You might have better luck doing a low sugar high Protein shake. I love the Silk F&P but gave it to my high metabolism husband because of the nutritional value.

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted March 28, 2012 Are you counting your carbs? You need to make sure not to get more than 20 in per day. It's hard to do for long periods of time. Make sure you drink a lot of Water too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New1 201 Posted March 28, 2012 I see someone else mentioned that silk and Protein is kinda high in sugar and carbs. I give that to my toddlers as a part of their Breakfast because of the carb content. I am post op and try to keep my carbs below 50g and the silk and protein take up about 50% of that 50g. If you want a good breakfast option try the Atkins morning shakes they have 2g carbs and 10g protein. And once you get close to reapplying replace 1 or 2 meals completely with quality Protein Shakes. Good luck to you. Hope to slide over on the losers bench when you get here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPad using VST I just was introduced to a Protein Shake called Vi-Shape! It's a weight management shake. Very tasty. Look it up Vi-Shape 90 day challenge.

Sherry0823 1 Posted March 28, 2012 You guys all give great advice! I did look at the carb content and so now am off that and give to my little guy for breakfast and I did buy some whey vanilla and chocolate Protein shakes..I'm not eating at night, going to look into the chair yoga too! I am drinking lots of Water and will continue to do so..I eat dinner and make it low carb and then nothing after that..mind you, I have slipped..I get so hungry at night. Is it okay to do a Protein Shake at night too? and is soy better than whey? I wasn't sure. I know Whey gets into your system faster than Soy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
