GNC shakes



Recommended Posts

I have test driven serveral brands of shakes. The GNC Lean 25, does not whey Protein isolate as a main component.

As for taste it was not bad, I needed it to be super cold. But everyones taste buds are different.

According to their site it's a meal replacement:

Same calories as the Isopure I drink, however it has 17 carbs to Isopure's 0.

On the other hand it does have 8 grams of Fiber...

I like to use it as the base to my smoothies, it mixes better than my powder from Walmart. Tastes good and a blends without grit. Without added fruit or yogurt, e.g. just mixing with Water or milk, it needs a little more time to rehydrate. I like the French vanilla. chocolate Peanut Butter was ok too but way better if you added a spoonful of PB2.< /p>

Has anyone tried GNC total lean shakes?

Is it considered a meal replacement drink

I can't remember If my nutritionist said to only drink half at a time

Any advice

That's all I drink, it has 170 Cal 25g Protein 2g Sugar 6g of Carbs. I drink the chocolate or strawberry. I love them and to me they taste yummy. I showed it to my Surgeon and he said it was perfect!!!! I have 2 a day and have more than 1/2 my Protein intake the rest I do with meals.

I was looking at these yesterday. For some reason, the RTD has way lower carbs than the powder. I compared the powder to my GNC Amp Wheybolic Extreme 60 and mine is the better one.

Also, I'm told that the concept of "net carbs" (carbs - Fiber = net carbs) is an Atkins thing and it's BS.

Yes the RTD does have 30 calories less than powder and it costs about the same. Im gonna have to check out the Isopure .

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
