Woohoooo! You got this girl! I'll be looking for Larra's update tomorrow!
I use the ON protien shakes. They are DELICIOUS and so much better for you than that Opti crap! 23 carbs?!?! Thats crazy!!!Optifast Banana Shake, 1 serving:
207 calories, 17.5g protein, 4.5g fat, 22.5g carbs (17.8 of which are sugars), Dietary Fiber 3.6g. It's worse than the chocolate flavor, but not by much. Soups are about the same. The bars were even fattier/carbier.
Gold Standard WPI, Caramel Toffee Fudge, 1 serving:
120 Calories, 24g protein, 1.5g fat, 3g carbs (2 of which are sugars), Fiber 0.
I have a friend who previously used him as a surgeon who told me he got really upset when she told him she had used protein shakes instead of Optifast because that's not what he had recommended, and that he yelled at her and told her that's why her liver was so hard to manage during surgery. Of course, that's third-hand information I wasn't there for, so who knows what his take on it would be. But either way, I don't want to find myself in a position where I have to tell him I didn't follow the plan the NUT laid out exactly.
