low calories high sugar

rlw0031

I have begun drinking 1-2 whey protein shakes a day instead of breakfast and lunch. My calories are low but my sugar is always exceeding due to the shakes...not so much the whey itself but I add a cup of fruit and sweeten with 3/4 cup juice instead of adding sugar. Can I still lose if my sugars are high?

That depends on your body. Personally, I cannot lose if my sugars are high because I have Type 2 Diabetes and have a carbohydrate intolerance. Some people tolerate sugar much better than others and lose lots of weight drinking smoothies and protein shakes instead of full meals. it will depend on how your body processes your carbs.

I honestly dot watch my sugars as long as I'm under my cals. That being said certain protein shakes are high in sugars. Try switching shakes to lower it out. Use gnc brand whey
