Topic: RE: Looking for less expensive protein shakes
I should have been more clear. What I am looking for is a protein shake that is a complete food -- you can live on it. I know that Medifast is, and one other one whose name I forget, that you can't order directly, you have to get it through a professional (MD, RN or nutritionist). I am looking for a weight loss product. I have never seen an off-the-shelf product in Walmart or anywhere else that is both a complete food (a complete meal replacement, you can live on it) and a weight loss product. Are you sure that GNC or Walmart carry such products? I haven't looked recently, but in the past, the ones in those stores were clearly marked "not a weight loss product" or they indicated that they were supplements to, but not replacements for, regular food.
Thanks

I use the muscle milk light. I have tried many shakes, and this is the one I like the best. I get it at Nashua Nutrition, and I buy it online. You can get it at GNC also. I pay about $25 and one container lasts me about a month. I usually have one a day. I like the chocolate with instant coffee or peanut butter, and the vanilla with crystal light orange or cherry pomegranate. I didn't particularly like the strawberry.

How much were the shakes? I LOVE Unjury www.unjury.com The containers are BIG and you get quite a lot of shakes and you can also order individual packs to try first...the vanilla (with a little bit of splenda) is my fav. I have also heard there is a Walmart brand that meets requirements? I have only heard of that but never tasted it..apparently people like it.
Topic: Looking for less expensive protein shakes
I used to purchase the HMR shake product from Lowell General Hospital in Massachusetts. It was less expensive than some others. Some physicians carry a different product with lots more flavors but it is much more expensive. I once had a nutritionist friend whom I would pay up front, then she would purchase the product (only professionals can buy it) and have it shipped directly to me, without taking a cut of the price, so I got it at her price which made it affordable for me. Anyway, I'm interested in knowing of sources for the products.
I'll be getting medical insurance in a few months and will then consider surgical options, though I am very wary of any approach that leaves something in my body. I can lose weight, but haven't kept it off; more recently I have changed my diet and now for about 3 months I haven't gained, I've lost slightly. So I want to focus on diet (can't exercise because of bursitis L hip) and maybe consider fat removal surgery and loose skin surgery in a few months.
For now I'm interested in recommendations for as good a quality weight loss shake as I can get at a lower than market price, if I can.

Topic: RE: fridays plan
Hi all,
So yesterday went okay. Was way too busy to really think about eating, but still struggled a bit. Getting better though.
My plan for today:
Breakfast: Shake with simply smart milk (which I drank wayyyyy to fast)
Lunch: Spaghetti with meat sauce and fresh parmesan cheese
Dinner: Have no idea. Going to look at new cars, so we might be really late...
I have extra snacks so I am not starving when we finally get home. So hopefully I will not eat them first thing this morning!!!
