Protein Shakes - My Dietician Says No More!

good for you , it isnt just a matter of just hair and skin needing the protein, your internal organs needs it too. The medical journal i read some in the other day was saying that people that dont get enough protein in eventually the bodys kidneys, liver, heart, all of your vital organs will have problems ...sort of like the body eats itself , i know that is a gross thought but that is what happens when you dont get enough protein. even vegetarieans know that that they have to get protein from somewhere , they eat a lot of beans or tofu ....our problems are that we only use about half the protein that we take in as food the reason for the protein drink,,,is that if it is made from whey isolates then we get 100 percent of that.

Oh my I was getting nervous I am so glad you posted that you called your Dr. office I have never heard any -one say not to drink your shakes as long as they are low carb - no sugar I do Adkins Lowcarb. You my dear would just have to be grazing ( eating ) all day long to get all your protien in if you didn't drink your shakes in between meals .

You be carefull and always ask ?'s like this if you are not sure cuz you would have problems later .

Good Luck
