Shakes and a thank you to you all!
Hey, I just wanted to first thank you all for your support, and say I will
try to help as much as I can with anyone like I have received, but my knowledge is of course, much more limited than others... I went shake-shopping today after realizing my Slim Fasts have 25g of sugar in each one. What a shocker. I was almost disgusted. Unfortunately, at my local drugstore, I could not find anything that was much better. I had to settle for Boost High Protein... with 15g protein and 33g carbs. But it doesn't say how much of the carbs are sugar and how much are fibre... So I am assuming most of it is sugar. Still it was in the same caloric range as the Slim Fasts, and has more protein and slightly less carbs. I also did see Glucerna there, but they only had it in 12 packs, and the 12 pack did not have the nutritional contents listed on the box because it was a thick cardboard packaging-style box. It was the vanilla flavoured one. I want to try a glucerna, but not 12 at once, in case I don't like them. My other concern about going to low-carb shakes...is will I be ok getting so many less carbs from sugars and carbs? Already, I get a major crash and my eyes glaze over 3 hours after a Slim Fast. I'm worried that moving to Glucerna, or even these high protein shakes from Boost will leave me even more dizzy...because doesn't your body need a certain about of carbs to function? Well, thanks again all. Mark 182/153/145 (I finally figured out what the numbers mean) |

I guess it was too much to ask him to click on the link in my reply to his
post, eh? lol "Julianne" wrote in message news:M8i6c.7762$F91.493@lakeread05... GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE is the first weight-loss shake specifically for people with diabetes. When used as part of a reduced-calorie meal plan, GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE is designed to help people with diabetes manage their weight and blood glucose. a.. Use as a meal replacement for the dietary management of diabetes (see instructions on label) b.. A convenient, great-tasting alternative to higher-calorie meals for people with diabetes who need to lose weight c.. For oral use only-not for tube feeding Use under medical supervision. Consult your health care provider for a weight loss goal, calorie level, and blood glucose monitoring schedule that is appropriate for your nutritional needs, blood glucose management goals, and daily activities. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), "Use of meal replacements once or twice daily to replace a usual meal can result in significant weight loss, but meal replacement therapy must be continued if weight loss is to be maintained."1 Caution: Consult a doctor before starting any weight loss plan. This is especially important for people who have diabetes or other health problems, are under 18, pregnant, nursing, or want to lose more than 30 lb. Do not lose more than 2 lb per week after the first week. Rapid weight loss may cause health problems. Not for use as a sole source of nutrition. Do not follow a meal plan of less than 1,200 Calories per day unless otherwise directed by a doctor. Features: a.. Contains a patented blend of slowly digested carbohydrates clinically shown to help manage blood glucose levels2 b.. Clinically shown to help people with type 2 diabetes lose weight as part of a structured weight loss program designed to decrease caloric intake and promote physical activity3 c..

One of the most promising of these nutrients is lutein. The body cannot make lutein and it is found in a limited number of fruits and vegetables. The highest concentration of lutein in the body is found in the eye, especially in the macula. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people aged 65 years and older. Lutein acts as a filter to protect the delicate cells of the eye from damage caused by harmful sunlight. Lutein has no known effect on diabetes retinopathy.17 Nutrient Profile (per 11 fl oz Vanilla): Calories 290; Protein (% Cal) 18.0; Total Fat (% Cal) 34.0; Carbohydrate (% Cal) 48.0 Exchanges: 1 ½ Starch, 1 Fruit, 1 Medium-Fat Meat, 1 Fat? ?Calculated using "Exchange Lists for Meal Planning," American Diabetes Association Inc and American Dietetic Association, 2003. Exchanges have been adjusted to account for sugar alcohols. Availability: 11-fl-oz cans; 24/case Flavor List Number Vanilla 57642 Chocolate 57645 Dulce de Leche (Caramel) 57654 Peach 57667 Banana 57648 Ingredients: (Vanilla): (U)-D Water, corn maltodextrin, sodium and calcium caseinates, maltitol syrup, high oleic safflower oil, fructose, soy protein isolate, soy fiber, fructooligosaccharides, canola oil, calcium phosphate, magnesium chloride, soy lecithin, artificial flavor, sodium citrate, potassium citrate, magnesium phosphate, potassium phosphate, potassium chloride, ascorbic acid, choline chloride, gellan gum, dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate, sucralose, ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, niacinamide, manganese sulfate, calcium pantothenate, cupric sulfate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamine chloride hydrochloride, lutein, vitamin A palmitate, riboflavin, chromium chloride, beta-carotene, folic acid, biotin, sodium molybdate, potassium iodide, sodium selenate, phylloquinone, cyanocobalamin and vitamin D3. (7826-01) Protein: The protein in GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE is from sodium and calcium caseinates, and soy protein isolate. Protein Profile Percent of total calories from protein 18.0% Protein content 13 g/11 fl oz Protein Source Sodium and calcium caseinates 80% Soy protein isolate 20% Fat: The fat source is a blend of high oleic safflower oil, canola oil, and soy lecithin. GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKES are consistent with the ADA recommendation that 60% to 70% of total calories should be distributed between carbohydrates and MUFAs.1 Diets high in MUFAs have been extensively studied and found to be beneficial to people with diabetes because they show lower glycemmic response, improved lipid profiles, and/or decreased insulin needs.18-22 Fat Profile Percent of total calories from fat 34.0% Fat content 11 g/11 fl oz Fat Source High oleic safflower oil 85% Canola oil 10% Soy lecithin 5% Carbohydrate: GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE contains a unique blend of corn maltodextrin, sugar alcohols, fructose, soy fiber, and FOS as the carbohydrate sources. GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE'S unique blend of carbohydrates takes advantage of two physiologic pathways. First, a portion of the maltodextrin (Fibersol 2®), a key ingredient, contains modified glucose linkages that are slowly digested from the small intestine to blunt glycemic response. Second, fructose and maltitol work to activate glucokinase in the liver to promote the clearance of glucose from the blood.23-25 Maltitol is broken down to glucose and sorbitol. Sorbitol is then converted to fructose, which promotes activation of glucokinase. Carbohydrate Profile Percent of total calories from carbohydrates 48.0% Carbohydrate content 39 g/11 fl oz Carbohydrate Source Corn maltodextrin 50% Fructose 23% Sugar alcohols 20% FOS 3.6% Soy fiber 3.4% Fiber: GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE provides a good source (16% of the Daily Value [DV]) of fiber at 4 g/11 fl oz. GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE provides a blend of soluble and insoluble fibers*, including 1.3 g of soy fiber, 1 g of corn fiber, and 1.4 g of fructooligosaccharides (FOS). FOS are indigestible, highly fermentable carbohydrates that occur naturally in many foods, such as onions, bananas, tomatoes, honey, garlic, barley, and wheat. FOS are prebiotics that stimulate the growth of beneficial GI bacteria (eg, bifidobacteria).4 FOS are fermented in the colon to short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that inhibit the growth of C difficile in at-risk patients. SCFAs enhance water and electrolyte uptake in the colon, which is important in the management of diarrhea.5,6 *Fiber breakdown differs for chocolate flavor: 1.4 g FOS, 1.3 g cocoa fiber, 1.0 g corn fiber, and 0.3 g soy fibers. Vitamins and Minerals: GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE provides at least 25% of the DVs for 24 key vitamins and minerals.

Hey, I just wanted to first thank you all for your support, and say I will try to help as much as I can with anyone like I have received, but my knowledge is of course, much more limited than others... I went shake-shopping today after realizing my Slim Fasts have 25g of sugar in each one. What a shocker. I was almost disgusted. Unfortunately, at my local drugstore, I could not find anything that was much better. I had to settle for Boost High Protein... with 15g protein and 33g carbs. But it doesn't say how much of the carbs are sugar and how much are fibre... So I am assuming most of it is sugar. Still it was in the same caloric range as the Slim Fasts, and has more protein and slightly less carbs. I also did see Glucerna there, but they only had it in 12 packs, and the 12 pack did not have the nutritional contents listed on the box because it was a thick cardboard packaging-style box. It was the vanilla flavoured one. I want to try a glucerna, but not 12 at once, in case I don't like them. My other concern about going to low-carb shakes...is will I be ok getting so many less carbs from sugars and carbs? Already, I get a major crash and my eyes glaze over 3 hours after a Slim Fast. I'm worried that moving to Glucerna, or even these high protein shakes from Boost will leave me even more dizzy...because doesn't your body need a certain about of carbs to function?

GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE is the first weight-loss shake specifically for people with diabetes. When used as part of a reduced-calorie meal plan, GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE is designed to help people with diabetes manage their weight and blood glucose. a.. Use as a meal replacement for the dietary management of diabetes (see instructions on label) b.. A convenient, great-tasting alternative to higher-calorie meals for people with diabetes who need to lose weight c.. For oral use only-not for tube feeding Use under medical supervision. Consult your health care provider for a weight loss goal, calorie level, and blood glucose monitoring schedule that is appropriate for your nutritional needs, blood glucose management goals, and daily activities. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), "Use of meal replacements once or twice daily to replace a usual meal can result in significant weight loss, but meal replacement therapy must be continued if weight loss is to be maintained."1 Caution: Consult a doctor before starting any weight loss plan. This is especially important for people who have diabetes or other health problems, are under 18, pregnant, nursing, or want to lose more than 30 lb. Do not lose more than 2 lb per week after the first week. Rapid weight loss may cause health problems. Not for use as a sole source of nutrition. Do not follow a meal plan of less than 1,200 Calories per day unless otherwise directed by a doctor. Features: a.. Contains a patented blend of slowly digested carbohydrates clinically shown to help manage blood glucose levels2 b.. Clinically shown to help people with type 2 diabetes lose weight as part of a structured weight loss program designed to decrease caloric intake and promote physical activity3 c.. Excellent source of 24 essential vitamins and minerals d.. Contains 4 g of dietary fiber, including 1.4 g/11 fl oz of fructooligosaccharides (FOS), prebiotics that help maintain digestive tract health4-7 e.. Provides 100% of the DV for the antioxidant vitamins C and E to help protect against cell damage8-11 f..

Fat blend is high in monounsaturated fatty acids and meets American Heart Association (AHA) recommendations for fatty acid profile.16 The AHA and the American Diabetes Association recommend limiting the intake of saturated fat and cholesterol in favor of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) to improve lipid profiles1,16 j.. High in calcium for bone health k.. Kosher l.. Lactose- and gluten-free m.. Not low residue n.. 5 great-tasting flavors-vanilla, chocolate, dulce de leche (caramel), peach, and banana *Accumulating evidence suggests an important role of nutrition, specifically of a group of nutrients called carotenoids, in maintaining eye health. One of the most promising of these nutrients is lutein. The body cannot make lutein and it is found in a limited number of fruits and vegetables. The highest concentration of lutein in the body is found in the eye, especially in the macula. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people aged 65 years and older. Lutein acts as a filter to protect the delicate cells of the eye from damage caused by harmful sunlight. Lutein has no known effect on diabetes retinopathy.17 Nutrient Profile (per 11 fl oz Vanilla): Calories 290; Protein (% Cal) 18.0; Total Fat (% Cal) 34.0; Carbohydrate (% Cal) 48.0 Exchanges: 1 ½ Starch, 1 Fruit, 1 Medium-Fat Meat, 1 Fat? ?Calculated using "Exchange Lists for Meal Planning," American Diabetes Association Inc and American Dietetic Association, 2003. Exchanges have been adjusted to account for sugar alcohols. Availability: 11-fl-oz cans; 24/case Flavor List Number Vanilla 57642 Chocolate 57645 Dulce de Leche (Caramel) 57654 Peach 57667 Banana 57648 Ingredients: (Vanilla): (U)-D Water, corn maltodextrin, sodium and calcium caseinates, maltitol syrup, high oleic safflower oil, fructose, soy protein isolate, soy fiber, fructooligosaccharides, canola oil, calcium phosphate, magnesium chloride, soy lecithin, artificial flavor, sodium citrate, potassium citrate, magnesium phosphate, potassium phosphate, potassium chloride, ascorbic acid, choline chloride, gellan gum, dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate, sucralose, ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, niacinamide, manganese sulfate, calcium pantothenate, cupric sulfate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamine chloride hydrochloride, lutein, vitamin A palmitate, riboflavin, chromium chloride, beta-carotene, folic acid, biotin, sodium molybdate, potassium iodide, sodium selenate, phylloquinone, cyanocobalamin and vitamin D3. (7826-01) Protein: The protein in GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE is from sodium and calcium caseinates, and soy protein isolate. Protein Profile Percent of total calories from protein 18.0% Protein content 13 g/11 fl oz Protein Source Sodium and calcium caseinates 80% Soy protein isolate 20% Fat: The fat source is a blend of high oleic safflower oil, canola oil, and soy lecithin. GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKES are consistent with the ADA recommendation that 60% to 70% of total calories should be distributed between carbohydrates and MUFAs.1 Diets high in MUFAs have been extensively studied and found to be beneficial to people with diabetes because they show lower glycemmic response, improved lipid profiles, and/or decreased insulin needs.18-22 Fat Profile Percent of total calories from fat 34.0% Fat content 11 g/11 fl oz Fat Source High oleic safflower oil 85% Canola oil 10% Soy lecithin 5% Carbohydrate: GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE contains a unique blend of corn maltodextrin, sugar alcohols, fructose, soy fiber, and FOS as the carbohydrate sources. GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE'S unique blend of carbohydrates takes advantage of two physiologic pathways. First, a portion of the maltodextrin (Fibersol 2®), a key ingredient, contains modified glucose linkages that are slowly digested from the small intestine to blunt glycemic response. Second, fructose and maltitol work to activate glucokinase in the liver to promote the clearance of glucose from the blood.23-25 Maltitol is broken down to glucose and sorbitol. Sorbitol is then converted to fructose, which promotes activation of glucokinase. Carbohydrate Profile Percent of total calories from carbohydrates 48.0% Carbohydrate content 39 g/11 fl oz Carbohydrate Source Corn maltodextrin 50% Fructose 23% Sugar alcohols 20% FOS 3.6% Soy fiber 3.4% Fiber: GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE provides a good source (16% of the Daily Value [DV]) of fiber at 4 g/11 fl oz. GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE provides a blend of soluble and insoluble fibers*, including 1.3 g of soy fiber, 1 g of corn fiber, and 1.4 g of fructooligosaccharides (FOS). FOS are indigestible, highly fermentable carbohydrates that occur naturally in many foods, such as onions, bananas, tomatoes, honey, garlic, barley, and wheat. FOS are prebiotics that stimulate the growth of beneficial GI bacteria (eg, bifidobacteria).4 FOS are fermented in the colon to short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that inhibit the growth of C difficile in at-risk patients. SCFAs enhance water and electrolyte uptake in the colon, which is important in the management of diarrhea.5,6 *Fiber breakdown differs for chocolate flavor: 1.4 g FOS, 1.3 g cocoa fiber, 1.0 g corn fiber, and 0.3 g soy fibers. Vitamins and Minerals: GLUCERNA WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE provides at least 25% of the DVs for 24 key vitamins and minerals.

I'm worried that moving to Glucerna, or even these high protein shakes from Boost will leave me even more dizzy...because doesn't your body need a certain about of carbs to function? You'll be fine with fewer carbs. In fact you probably crash because your blood sugar drops too low. When you eat carbs (like sugar) your blood sugar rises quickly. Your body then dumps insulin to bring it under control. Excess insulin then causes your blood sugar to drop too low which causes dizziness and usually cravings for more sugar. It's a blood sugar roller coaster. Your body needs the vitamins, minerals, and fiber that are contained in foods that have carbs but it doesn't need the carbs themselves. Your body can and does manufacture the glucose (carbs) it needs from protein. This is why if you can get the vitamins, minerals, and fiber while keeping your carbs low your blood sugar will stay level and you'll be much better off. -- Jeri 265/189/120 Atkins since 11/5/01 "Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." --Henry Ford |
