The Slimfast low carb shakes are usually with the other Slimfast shakes, but they have a blue ribbon at the top that says that they have "20 grams of Protein and 2 net carbs for low carb diets"! Thy are the same size and packaging as the others.

Slim fast is a Meal Replacement shake. What we need is a Protein supplement. Meal replacement shakes are designed to to have a much higher caloric & carb density in comparison to protein supplements which are designed to deliver maximum proteinase efficiently as possible.

I find it so odd that here in France the nut doesn't ask that I use Protein Shakes. They are having me eat all real foods. Does the NUTS in the states say you can have Protein shakes? Can anyone send me their post op diets? Thanks

I personally am using them for Meal Replacements. I couldn't get my calories in if I didn't have them. But these are low carb Slimfast, which are specifically for low carb diets. They have 20 grams of protein and only 2 net carbs.

You can go to the pharmacy and get a Protein Shake drink. Just add slim milk

and some Water and ice in a blender.
