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?

      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.
