“I have used this from the beginning and it has the protein value necessary to build muscle and burn fat. I even had to stop taking so much to slow down my weight loss until my sagging skins tightened up, then begin again. Only 10 more pounds to target weight. I am 3 years post op. ”

“This drink has 15g of protein with low carbs and only 100 calories. Chocolate is my favorite. Vanilla is good to use as a creamer in your coffee. The bars are even better and make a great snack! They have 220 calories and 21g of protein. The peanut butter/chocolate ones are dangerous to have around because they taste so good!”
