Pouch is too small

Try almond milk with your Protein powder. That's what I used when I was drinking them and it tasted better than milk.

My program recommends no fruit or vegetables until week 8. They want us to start out by focusing on Protein and they are right, IMHO. It didn't have anything with getting fat from fruit the way they explained it to us. There is no way I would be getting all my Protein in right now if I was trying to eat fruits or vegetables on top of it and protein is extremely important as your body is learning a new way to get energy. Last thing I want to do is lose muscle instead of fat because I'm not getting enough protein. But goes to show how different programs are.

Throwing out another Protein shake idea -- I love GNC's Lean shake 25 -- with 25 grams of Protein and 170 calories. And it's lactose-free.

If you get a GNC membership, you can get a discounted price on multiple cases of the shakes so they're less than $2 apiece.

I love the Swiss chocolate flavored ones. Mmm - mmm!

And yeah, fruit isn't what makes kids fat.

(Apparently, a lotta docs get out of medical school without passing "Nutrition 101." Sheez.)

children are NOT fat from eating fruit.

they are fat from eating too much sugar and processed foods. but not from eating real food.

This!

And because high fructose corn Syrup is in EVERYTHING. Including children's Tylenol.
