I have tried most of them and they are pretty yucky.

so,I went to the health food store and bought plain soy protein and i mix it with whatever in the blender most of the time I jusy use fozen fruit and a little juice and put the powder in.It has like 100 cal. and onr gram of fat per serving and you get like 30gr of soy protein.

it's better and cheaper than the pre made ones

Here's a really dumb question:

What is the shake for? Do we need more soy to lose weight, or is it just so we fill up? Build muscle? Confused about that. Thanks

the powder has no taste when you mix it with your stuff it gives your shake a slight grainy texture kinda like slim fast,but it's not bitter or anything

I stayed on for awile then I got stuck,then I did low fat and i lost some more then I did adkins and lost some more then thanksgiving hit and I gained a little soooooooooooooooo now I am doing low fat this week.Who knows what next week will bring.I'm about 20 away from my goal about 10-15 less than when I saw you and I started working out pretty regularaly.According to the bowflex comercial I should see results in six weeks.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

you don't need it to loose weight.

protein in general helps build muscle mass.Now whey protein is the best for that,however I like to have between 100-120 grams of protein a day and much less carbs.Now soy protein is not the best kind for building muscle but as I said all protein helps buils muscle and soy is really good for us girls.It helps with hormones and cardiovascular vunction.

In conclusion I personally notice a difference when I eat alot of protein and low carb(whole grain).Like you don't ge that bloated look and you seem leaner.I get burned out really fast on that low carb stuff so right now I'm trying to do low fat w/only whole grain carbs and more protein.

Oh thanks for all that info. I totally agree about the need for low carbs -I do best with a mostly protein diet and a little bit of whole wheat foods thrown in. Problem is I love carbs, as you prolly do to. But white flour = fat on my body. I try to have only whole grains during the morning and up until dinner, when I have a little bit of rice or a roll with my dinner. But I am feeling totally motivated now that I know you guys are in. I prolly won;t be making shakes, but I am going to strive for 1,000 cals per day.

you are so shmart when it comes to this stuff. i just can't evah seem to get it straight.
how many carbs do you eat daily? i nevah knew how much is good.

oh and congats on the 10-15 since i saw you. 20 more and you are gonna waste away to nothing i swear!!!!!!!!

krc,to loose the max weight 15-20gr a day from salad greens.

when I do that I don't really worry about fat and I loose alot.The problem being is as soon as I go off I gain fast.

When I do the low fat I don't count carbs but like This morning i had cereal.I will have a salad w/tuna for lunch and pork chop,snow peas and maybe a half cup potatoes for dinner no oil or butter.then my shake about a half hour before I work out.I try to drink at least 80 oz water a day and take vitamins.

I'm really good at advising just have a hard time sticking to it sometimes.I'm just a mom who's sick of being fat and wants to look good.

thank you all for listening.Be sure to tip your waitress!
