rita27ny

Hi

Are you guys having a difficult time losing weight? Also being insulin resistant/diabetic. I know i am having a hell of a time. The weight is dropping off so slow.

This belly fat is horrible and i hate my arms u know the bicips shake.

For diabetics which protein shake is good and not spike the diabetes? My blood sugar has been good!

There's a company called Glucerna that makes all kinds of great products for diabetics.

Agree! ...

Also try Atkins shakes, they aren't that bad and are low carb, low sugar!

Hi. I also have pcos and am insulin resistant. I have been having good results with eating low carb and exercising daily (6 days). For protein shakes, I use Atkins and EAS Carb Control shakes. I also use Atkins protein bars. I use Splenda (sucralose), Truvia (stevia), or Sweet 'n Low (saccarine) in place of sugar. I do not use Nutrisweet (aspartame) because I have read that it reacts in your body just like sugar.

How are the flavors? Also a good protein shake is nature's way reset.

Just curious about flavors.

Just curious about flavors.

I did not care for the Vanilla in the Atkins.

I use the Visalus Body by Vi shakes and they are good. I like that you can make them any flavor you want, it's non-GMO soy, and low carb. I'm also PCOS and having a hard time losing weight, but the shakes are helping, even if it is slower than I would like!

I wasn't fond of the Vanilla at first, but now I like it. Kind of like going from regular soda to diet. The chocolate shakes are pretty good and I really like the EAS Strawberry. I think you just have to try them for yourself and decide what you like best.

I also have been using the Visalus Body by Vi shakes. Tastes delicious, makes me get some nutrition for breakfast and keeps me full until lunch.

Costco sells a good one...Premier Nutrition Protein chocolate shake. 160 calories, 30 gms protein and only 5 carbohydrates. 3 fibers. It has worked good for me to have on hand so when I work long hours and can't get away for my planned meal, I don't grab the high carb crackers that are around. I have searched and this is the best one I have found and the cost is minimal. Good luck. I have been working on the low carb diet for my type 2.
