Where do you get Isopure and are certain flavors better than others. Also...does it contain soy?

.

Actualy its clear so no dairy!

They come about 6-8 flavors.

I purchased 3 @ GNC to taste them for about $4 a bottle.

I went online & found them about $40 for a case of 12.

Drugstore.com has them the cheepest.

Actually you can get a HUGE powder container for like $45 at GNC before your member discount. There are TONS of flavors and even flavorless. I reccomend!!!

FYI

It's already prepared, no powder. It's recommended for your 1st week of clears.

Not sure if Imentioned drugstore.com has it in cases for cheaper.

Hi Neesh,

I go on week long liquid fasts every so often when my body just feels blah from too many carbs.

My experience...the first day or two is the roughest. After that it gets easier. I drink the low carb Slim Fast shakes in the can and I actually like them. Many times they're my Breakfast of choice even when I'm not dieting. During the liquid fasts, I drink 6 of them a day because I'm limiting my intake to under 1200 calories. Carbs are about 12gm for the day which does wonders for my blood sugar levels.

Headaches are usually nothing more than your body complaining about the change. They usually go away in a day or two and aspirin works well in the meantime.

Watch your activity level. When I do the week long liquid fast, I notch my activity level down a bit. I try to remember to just move a bit slower...no sudden moves.

Stick to it. You will be amazed at how good you actually feel after a few days. Little 'cheats' will delay your body's ability to adapt meaning the headaches, tiredness, etc. will continue for the entire time period.

Hang in there!

.

I do this too! I especially do it when I've hit a plateau (it really kick starts things). Glad to hear someone else does it as well!

You get more bang for your buck if u mix it yourself. 1 Tub is like over a months worth if u are on liquids. 1 case is 24. thats like a weeks worth.

I agree & bought a tub, but for your 1st week it was a God send... Where else are you gonna get 40 grams of protien on a liquid diet?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
