Atkins Shakes

[FELICIA17 0]

Hello all.... I start my pre-op diet on the 28th, It's liquids all day with a low fat dinner. I've heard the raves about Unjury, so I'll probably order some, but has anyone used the Atkins shakes with any success?

I used them all the time during my liquid stage. I also used the slim fast ones. They are both the cheapest. I still use them.

I wouldn't mind getting some unflavored Ungery because I worry about getting all my Protein in.

I personally liked the canned Atkins shakes. They are affordable and taste pretty good, and they are fast for grabbing on the go.

Each can has 15 grams of Protein which is nice.

I personally don't like to bother with shakes I have to mix up and prepare.

Especially on work days. I still will often drink these shakes for Breakfast, (when band is still very tight), and for snack time.

They are great frozen also!!

I too love the Atkins Advantage shakes as well as the Slim Fast carb control. The Atkins have 15 grams of Protein and only 160 calories and are low in carbs......maybe not the highest in Protein but I love the taste. I am not a strawberry person, but I love their strawberry shakes. Now, Slim Fast puts out a lot of different shakes but they have a relatively new one call Slim Fast Carb Control. Each drink has 20 grams of protein and 180 calories. I have tried the Creamy vanilla and they are great. I work and it is very hard to prepare in the morning so I grab a can of Atkins or Slim Fast. Also, GNC makes a chocolate Caramel Protein powder with 21 carbs per scoop that is out of this world mixed with ice and soy milk.....there are 120 calories per scoop.

Thanks,

Good. That's just what I wanted to hear. I like the idea of grabbing a can when your on the go and taking them to work with you as well. I'll see which ones I like and stock up. Thanks

The Atkins ones are tooooo thin for me. They are not rich and creamy at all. The Slim Fast are a little higher in calories (by about 30 per can or so) but are also higher in Protein and are MUCH thicker and richer. They have vanilla and chocolate. I get "Sip-ahhh sipping straws" from Walgreens (available in chocolate, Cookies and Cream, strawberry, banana or Vanilla and are 15 calories each) for $2 per box of 10 to flavor the Vanilla to something else. It's a drinking straw with flavoring in it so that when you drink through it it adds flavor to the drink.

And a word of caution, look for Slim Fast Carb Control (or Low Carb) ONLY, NOT the High Protein, NOT the Optima.

I have never tried freezing them. That really sounds delicious. I like both the Atkins and the Slim fast. I am with you. It's so much trouble to have to mix and dirty things when the canned ones work just fine.

I just had a fill and I have to be on liquids for 24 hours. I am really tight, and I'll probably be drinking them for a few days, while I wait to see if it

loosens up.

I am doing the Slim Fast Optima, the nutrionist told me I could do any shake of my choice and they were the better price and is suppose to control your hunger for 4 hours. I'm still hungry though. It's psychological for me.
