Recommended Posts

so i was looking to introduce Protein Shakes into my diet before my pre-op liquid phase because the nut wants me to get 60-80 grams a day and i went to the GNC website today and looked into a membership and its 15 bucks for the whole year one that is amazing because not only do they give you half off on whey Protein but on like Vitamins and suplaments and all sorts of good stuff. so i also ordered a tub of 100% whey protein in chocolate 2 pounds for 24 dollars yay

@ - did they have whey isolate Protein for $24 for a 2lb container? that's what I was told to drink. I have bought whey Protein for around $24 at Walmart.< /p>

they have it for 40 for a 2lbs tub i just got the regular whey protein

I walked out on them a few months ago because they wanted to charge the $15 "membership" fee to get basic retail price that I could get from the manufacturer (or Amazon) rather than their inflated marked up price. I have found that Vitamin Shoppe charges about the same as GNC's "membership" prices without the added fee or the mark up games.

I have to second this. I was going to Vitamin Shoppe. They have a membership card, but it's one of those free ones like the supermarkets. In the 6 mth I used them I received exactly 1 coupon. GNC on the other hand gives rewards constantly and their prices a slightly cheaper than Vitamin Shoppe.

@ - There are a million different varieties and brand that make whey Protein isolate at all price points. The brand I buy comes in 4lb containers (Isopure) for about $40 which is actually cheaper than what the evil empire (Walmart) is selling. However I'm sure if you looked around they likely have other brands that come in 2 lb containers. Syntrax nectar is sold there which I believe comes in 2lb containers.

@ - I was told to look for whey isolate and not whey concentrate. Isolates are more potent than concentrates.

@@BLERDgirl - where do you buy the Isopure? I thought the Unjury was a bit pricey but I do like the unflavored stuff. I just wish they sold it in larger containers. I think a lot don't realize the difference between whey isolate Protein and the whey protein. I would rather pay more and get the whey isolate as you know there is a big difference and that's why I actually responded. The evil empire is convenient for most and if you are out, you have to "dance with the devil in the pale moonlight". I think a lot of people don't think about the "isolate" being a big deal.

I buy it from GNC. You can shop them in store or online. If you have the membership card, the deals are valid with both instore and online purchases. You can also buy Isopure from Amazon. GNC will accept any returns of unused product with a valid receipt. If Walmart was my only store I'd shop online. They are vile.

I commend GNC for fighting hard for quality Protein powder:

One of the problems with Walmarts is they amount of Protein claimed is not absorb-able.

I just went today and got a couple boxes of Quest bars. Also they sent me a $10 off coupon for my birthday if I spend more than $10. I have saved a lot since having my card.

I just got the 100% whey chocolate supreme from there and I love it. It's a little thick but 1.5 hours after my first shake and still not hungry

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
