Easy protein hack!

[doppelganger 54]

Took me 4 months to think of doing this, but hopefully it will help someone else.

1 sugar-free pudding cup whatever flavor you like

+1 scoop of GENEPRO Protein Powder

=31gms Protein, 158cal and 11carbs

I can't taste the protein powder at all and it mixes in very smoothly. Not a fan of other protein powders so I can't speak for those. Genepro serving size is 1tbsp compared to other protein powder servings that equal 2tbsp so not sure how well those will work.

I bought GENEPRO based on how many people say you can't taste it. I've used it in a V8 Splash diet juice, I can taste it.

I'll try your pudding/yogurt hack and see if that works for me better.

I was excited to read your post. Thanks for sharing. I love how much less you have to use. I stopped at the Vitamin shoppe tonight to buy some but they don't carry it. I'll order online.

I am a little bit leery about the amount of Protein they say is in it though. If you start researching it, I guess people do question whether their claim is really true. So I think I'll take it in to my nutritionist appointment in two weeks just to check with them too. If anyone else has done more research or asked their doctor about whether we can really count it as 30 gr, can you let me know. Thanks. I hope it's true.

Thanks for sharing!

I've tried so many Protein powders including vegetable and egg, I can't stomach any of them, that's why I tried GENEPRO to begin with. I've heard all the naysayers concerning Genepro and I can't stand behind their guarantees, but my nutritionist has signed off on it and I feel fine. I agree @@determinedtolive I can taste Genepro despite the claims, but I can barely taste it in the pudding that's why I was excited to share. I hope this helps some folks and Genepro's claims are true. =)

According to the Magazine Article here by Elizabeth Anderson RN, Protein 101. she writes, "Did you know the body simply cannot absorb more than 30 grams of Protein per meal? If any of your Protein drinks or bars are promising more than this per serving, don’t be fooled into thinking you are giving your body that full amount."

I've read that in other areas as well. That is so important, when some patients think they can fake the system by double upping on scoops of Protein Powder.< /span>

Fabulous idea, thank you!

One from me: I made my own cottage cheese/paneer this weekend:

Bring 8 cups 2% milk to a boil (I flavored the milk with salt and cumin seeds), add 1/4 cup of lemon juice and simmer as curds separate; pour into cheesecloth lined colander and hang to drain liquid, squeeze cheese between two plates and refrigerate. Make sure to keep a pot under the colander to save the liquid whey. The whey can then be used as Protein in homemade soup!

@@trekker954 - That is good to keep in mind about the 30gr of Protein at a time. I wonder how long it takes to digest before more can be added? Like is 15 minute wait before adding a bit more good, or is it like 4 hours?

[doppelganger 54]

My nutritionist has said the same thing about 30gms of Protein is all your body can absorb at a time, but I found this article from what appears to be a nutritionist explaining Protein absorption.

ASMBS is the authority of WLS, this is what they say about Protein...

Q: Can I take all of the Protein in one dose?
A: Protein should be taken in multiple doses, across multiple meals or healthy Snacks. The body cannot absorb more than approximately 30 grams at once. Also, protein is a nutrient that helps us feel fuller, longer. If we try to include Proteins in each of our meals or healthy Snacks, we’re less likely to feel hungry when it’s not time to eat.

Lots of people use genpro and it works fine for them. The people that run it and represent it come off as bro-science d-bags and I would never give them a penny. What they are claiming doesn't really make scientific sense, unless they are onto some next level stuff that no one else on the planet has figured out.

That being said if it works for people, they should use what works.

I'm only a week post op, but had used GENEPRO during my pre-op and even before that. Its tasteless, mixes well in just about anything I've tried. I know so many who are using it and they are all having good results. "Come off as bro-science d-bags". Why because they are muscle guys? What is your background that you say its not scientific enough.
