Meal replacement shakes

[tholbert08 51]

Okay, I have tried 3 flavors of the Advocare Meal Replacement shakes and they are awesome. 22-24 grams of Protein so need to build that up. So, I have ordered a sample of the unflavored Doc Hale whey Protein powder to see what I can do to keep drinking that and increase at the same time.

I just checked out the advocare Meal Replacements and they have WAY to much sugar for me. A 1:1 ratio of carb to Protein is not a good profile IMO. Unless you're working out heavily or training for a marathon and need the carbs, that 12g of sugar in the advocare is a waste of useless calories you don't need. Plus the Calcium casseinate they use is not nearly as absorbable as whey.

I use Syntrax nectar, Premier, Quest, Bodytech, and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. All of them have 20-30g Protein and just 0-5g carbs

I actually do Camp Gladiator boot camp so I am a little concerned post surgery and post lifetime of getting enough to eat with the amount of exertion I put out 3-4 times a week.

Well then, yeah, that many carbs may be just the ticket for you since you are burning them off. But for a lot of more sedentary WLS patients, including myself, (I usually log 12,000 - 20,000 steps/day but no gym time) it might not be the best choice. Good luck with everything!

I use boost for diabetics. It has barely any sugar, 16 grams of Protein and chocolate flavour. Very useful for when you are in a hurry in the mornings since I am used to skipping breakfast..For my shakes, I use a spoonful of frozen yogurt with milk and some frozen fruit.< /p>

English is my 6th language so forgive me if my sentences don't make any sense at times!
