low carb shakes?
I am weaning off a doctor's supervised liquid fast. (I have offically
been weaned according to them but for my own sake I want to switch slowly back to real food.) Since I have had luck with low carb before - this is my plan to stick with low carb for the rest of what I need to lose and beyond. Are there any low carb shakes that taste decent? I am beginning to wonder if such a thing exists. :/ So far Keto brand is leading on what I have tried but I am hoping for something better. This is getting expensive to buy things I can't even manage to gag down (Carb Solutions in a can - smelled/tastes like it is spiked with alcohol or fermented or something). Advantage Edge is very watery but ok. The Keto mix was better but still not enjoyable. I don't plan on using shakes for much longer it's just that I wanted to try to use one or two a day for a meal replacement the next couple of months. If I can't do better than the Keto I'll probably just head to the all-real food realm. I just wanted to try to take things slowly. 273/184/150 -lcf |

low carb shakes?
Hi,
I use the Keto shakes and find them to be good. I use one every morning for breakfast, since I'm not big on eating when I first get up. Even my 7 year old nephew, who's not much for breakfast, always asks for a shake when spends the night. Here's how I make mine, maybe it will make them more appealing for you. I take 12 ounces of cold water, add 1 ounce of heavy cream, and 3 scoops of the Keto mix. Shake that up, and then add 3 ice cubes to it and blend that up with my stick blender. If you like it creamier and can afford the calories, make that 2 ounces of heavy cream. By the way, I use 3 scoops instead of the 2 listed on the can to help meet my protein intake for the meal and the day. Hope this helps you out. -- Good luck, Phil Sansotta 250/242/208.6/170 Hi/Restart LC/Current/Goal Returned to LC on 6-1-03 Nov Challenge Goal: 209.8 |

Mix the Keto shakes with 2/3c water and top up to the rest of the cup with
ice.. whizz in the blender. They are really good like that and come out cold and thick like a milkshake. The orange cream is like dessert. I mix up flavors too.. 1 scoop Cappucino with a half scoop vanilla and half scoop chocolate.. Hub likes strawberry cream and banana combo.. I HATE banana anything though (even real ones) so don't have an opinion on that one. Teeb "Low Carb Fan" wrote in message om... I am weaning off a doctor's supervised liquid fast.

I like to mix the chocolate fudge with either the banana or strawberry, and did all three once. I called it a Neapolitan shake, after the ice cream. :-) -- Phil Sansotta 250/242/208.6/170 Highest/Restart LC/Current/Goal Returned to LC on 6-1-03 Nov Challenge Goal: 209.8 |

I wish they sold them in singles so you could try them out before you
get the whole pack of them! That would eliminate part of the problem. I'll see if I can get somebody to take these off my hands so they don't go to waste. The low carb buddy is a good idea. I just don't know if they're interested in MR's but maybe they will be now since they could try them for free. I was just going to chuck these out in the name of education. You're right though – somebody might like them. Good idea. Kalish wrote in message . .. On 29 Nov 2003 13:49:39 -0800, (Low Carb Fan) wrote: You will get as many answers as people on this newsgroup. I couldn't choke down the Atkins coffee shake, the smell alone made me gag - but I gave the other 3 from the 4-pack to someone at work and he thought they were fabulous. The only ones I can drink are the EAS chocolate and that took a few tries. Other people think the choco is gross. I love the neon pink color of their strawberry shakes though...buwahaha. So, in my experience, you have to try them yourself - maybe you can find a lowcarb buddy that you can buy new products with and split the cost of expermenting. Kalish |

Cream! Ohhh, I bet that would help. Might make it thicker too? I'll
pick up a carton. It may salvage this Designer Whey Protein too. I really like my stick blender too. It is so much nicer to clean up than the whole blender set up. This last one I got actually will chop up the ice cubes now whereas the first one I had said not to do that on the directions. I haven't been doing that lately though because I get so cold when I drink them. (It's a side effect of being on the fast for a long period of time.) I tried that again this morning though, and it does help with the flavor of the shake, it also seems to thicken it up a bit. Thanks, Phil S. "Phil S." wrote in message ...
