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 .

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
