Also like to add some news I read re GNC Lean shakes.  Government here ( U.S.) cracking down on the supplement industry and its claims re amount of protein etc. 

GNC shakes were analyzed and found to contain 12 grams of protein VS the amount they claim.  Not sure if Premier was the same but they specially mentioned GNC being investigated for false info.

Good morning!  Have a great golf game today Barb!  The weather here today is warm but a bit gloomy.  I just wanted to stay in bed and sleep all day!! Hibernating season!

L- 1 cup kale salad with a dash of feta cheese- feta makes everything beta! Lol

All water and vitamins

mfp totals: 729 cals 60 g protein

happy Thursday!

 

I read an article a few months ago about protein spiking and GNC was named as selling some of the products that spike the numbers but they came back with that their own brand of powder/shakes, etc are what they say they are.  Not sure if what you read/saw is specifically mentioning GNC brands or just the store in general.  Quite a few retailers were named in the article that I read.

It was specific to GNC, however they are still a good choice in my books.  However that's a considerable difference in protein numbers from what is quoted on the label.

If they claim 25 and are only 12 then I wonder if the calories are off or if it's more carbs or fat than they claim otherwise numbers don't add up either.  I tried to find something specific to them this morning and the only thing I could find was an article in Forbes from May I believe it was and they mentioned a few stores with GNC being one of them but that the GNC products that are theirs were fine.  I wouldn't keep buying them if they truly are only 12 grams for that amount of calories.  Hopefully I can find something else online about it.

I heard it on the radio last week.  I remembered it of course as it mentioned the rtd lean shakes.  Cant remember the source it quoted

Morning ,

Enjoy golf today Barb!

Thanks for the info on the GNC shakes, my DH read about GNC products info not being true awhile ago. It's too bad because I like the shakes. I will continue to buy them for a quick fix.

Good morning Barb, enjoy your golf. The weather here is clearing up and certainly warm for November. Biking home tonight. Just charging a new light I bought. It is pretty dark by the time I get home. Only part I do not like. Swam yesterday. Can't get used to the free for all this pool is. I keep bumping people which annoys me. I feel restricted to the type of strokes. No back stroke. I like to change it up to give my arms and upper back a work out. I have to keep reminding myself this is only temporary.

I enjoyed the talk on incontinence last night at TWH. I didn't know they had physio for this. Lot of great info. However someone gave me some popcorn puffed chips. They are like crack. I finished the bag. They will never enter my house again

I wonder how CC is doing with her cold. Sounded like a nasty one.

Morning all. Still sleepy this morning as i had to take two doses of gravol last night. I think i'll just stop taking it as it's making me sleepy without relieving the nausea. Long day at school today and will go home and try to relax and drink some tea.
