A different way to get your protein in! (X-post kinda)
Protein intake has always been a knock down drag out battle for me. Believe me I try and be a good girl and get that protein shake in in the am. After drinking a shake, I am miserable!! I get sweaty...hot flashy...nauseous, and weak feeling. I don't know why this happens...someone said something about having a glycemic reaction, and if anyone has a techinical explanation, please let me know.
Anyway, it finally occurred to me to try breaking it into smaller servings.
I now drink 8 ounces of Fat Free Lactaid milk (I'm extremely lactose intolerent) and I use a 1/2 scoop of protein in it. This is working fabulous for me and I'm drinking these 3 times a day. With
8 gm's of protein in the milk and 10 gm's in the Unjury, I'm getting 54 gm's of protein beyound what I'm eating. I can tolerate this and it doesn't give me the side effects a whole scoop does.
I wanted to post this since so many people struggle with protein intake...and I hope it helps for you!!

I ended up switching to an unsweetened protein powder. I add half a banana to it in the blender if I want a little sweetness, and I make it with half milk half water. But breaking it up into smaller portions throughout the day is also a perfect solution.

I love lactaid milk. My son decided he is lactose intolerent. He wasnt diagnosed
but felt gasy and bloated with regular milk. since lactain he doesnt have this problem.
I drink the milk too and really enjoy it.
