I tried some protein powder that was given to me when I was in a hurry the other day, and didn't have time to eat. I get a headache if I don't eat.

I don't usually go for this kind of thing, but I was surprised.. I felt ok for the whole morning.

So, I think I might keep some on hand. What this person gave me is a bit expensive when I looked it up - $22/1lb (13 servings)- but it doesn't have any things like soy isolate, or a million chemicals (which is why this person recommended it). so, I thought I would see what other people use.

here is protein powder I used the other day. Just want to say I do not believe the blood type theory at all, but his products are ok in that he does make a point not to include a bunch of chemicals or gmo. but I wouldn't care if it was protein powder for type O or A or Z.. I look more at the ingredients:

Protein Blend O



so.. what products do you like?

This is what we typically use:

Very simple but very pure. It may not be as satisfying as the one you tried however - because it doesn't have added fiber.

The flavor is very mild. But, you can build it anyway you wish - add any flavor, sweetener, etc.

well.. on the subject of fiber, I've been looking at that, too!

There was a deal on QVC a while ago for a week's worth of nutrisystem. Now.. normally, I wouldn't even be interested.. but on a whim, I thought.. I wonder if it would work, and why? so, I got it, then it sat in my house for a month.

but.. last week I tried it. well.. I'm glad I only got a week. I now know the meaning of mystery meat. some of the snacks were not bad.

but.. I did notice that following the plan, they had breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, dessert. so.. you were "always eating" in a sense.. but just enough to get you by.

I entered all the foods that I had in a nutritional analyzer, and basically, it was 1100 calories a day. but, like I said, I wasn't hungry.. which, I've been on low calorie diets before (I think this is low calorie), and had headaches, and been so hungry my stomach was loudly complaining. to the room. I usually lasted a week. I not good at fighting strong body signals and frankly, I don't believe in it.

so.. I'm wondering what is different about this?

well, every one of their prepackaged meals had low fat, added protein, and added fiber. so, I think the protein and fiber helps keeps me from having the headaches and loud stomach grumbles.

so, I'm trying to add a little fiber and protein to my normal diet, so that I feel better on less? I think if your body isn't screaming, then you aren't going to go into starvation mode and end up slowing down your metabolism.

my theory, anyway.

plus.. I think fiber is good for a lot of things anyway. but, I want something more natural. so, I'm looking at inulin? from chicory root?

also, now that I'm paying attention, it is amazing how much fiber you can add by just by adding more vegetables. the cauliflower mash I make is loaded. and very low calorie. same with the pumpkin custard I make.

Then, when I tried the protein powder, I thought.. I think I'm on to something here (at least for myself).
</div>

boy.. this is a lot cheaper.

I might try this..

and they have the inulin, too. net carbs (carbs - fiber) = 0

hmm.. they also have apple fiber, grapefruit fiber..

</div>

The inulin will (likely) be the least noticeable of the those three options. If anything, it may impart a bit of sweetness. I'm not sure how well it dissolves though (in a cold drink).

The price is better but make sure to note the protein content of each scoop. 45 servings but only 8 grams of protein per serving.

</div> <--- Don't want you to feel singled out.

yes.. I already figured out the price/protein per serving for both.

hey, I'm a math major. can't help myself.

hey, are you getting the </div>'s too?

or are you just doing that so I don't feel so "special"?

(I think I've figured out what is causing it)

I was just trying to be a team player. </div> there I go again.

I figured that you may have already crunched the numbers. But, just in case, I didn't want you to not know and then feel jipped!

My grandmother, lived 93 years, ate natural whey. That's the clear liquid that forms on top of raw milk that has sat for a long while. She ate it before any processing. Then we would take the clabbered milk, this is what's left after the whey is formed, and churn it into buttermilk. That was my job.

She was an old wife, my grandmother; and had lots of tales that seemed to be true. Born in the late 1800s.

I use a basic product made by Nutrisport.

It contains Whey Concentrate, Maltodextrin, and Pea Fibre.

Normally you get 35g Protein, and 50g Carbs with 4 scoops, but it would run out after 2 weeks, and I know I don't need that much nutrition in a shake anyway, so I just go for a usual amount of around 12 tspns.

I think I'm getting roughly about 60% of the actual amount from 4 scoops, so it means I can use it for around 2.5 times longer, than would otherwise be the case.

I was using a similar product that was already in a bottle, made by someone called Maximize, but the powder is more cost effective, so I go with that.

It was a long time since I'd used powder, as the first one I tried had a few mixing issues, and didn't seem to be too good, hence why I'd switched to bottles, although I think looking back that one had low Carbs.

Scorpio. Try looking into Trueprotein. They do customised mixes, where you select what you want, and you just pay with a card. They are American, so they might be able to do something that you might like.

interesting, jfh! now I know what whey is. You are educating this city girl.

I love buttermilk.. but not many people drink it. My mom used it to make sauces and made a great slaw using buttermilk. I remember she would drink buttermilk with black pepper sprinkled on top.

Boss, the True Protein certainly is a great idea... but they don't say anything about the sources of their protein (that I could find)

I really don't want gmo. and unfortunately, whey, soy, rice.. big gmo.

This is what I use. One of the better products I think for the money. I get it at iherb. 23 grams of protien per scoop. Had come highly recommended to my by a couple of practitioners.

Whey is obviously one part of Milk, Casein the other.

Whey exists in Milk from memory in about 30%, Casein 70%, because Whey is the protein that is removed, from the Milk to Cheese conversion process.

The protein powder I give my 8 yr. old with type 1 is by Manitoba Harvest. It is Hemp Protein Powder and one serving has 15g of protein, 5g carbs, and 4g fiber. Ingredients are 100% raw, cold milled hemp protein powder with no additives or preservatives. Robert Young recommended this product to a friend of mine who has two type 1 children for their protein.

Arrowwind, can you give the full name of the product? the link doesn't work (I think because of the ... replacing part of the URL)

thanks.
