GNC Protein Powders



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

My wife recently discovered that if you buy any Protein powders at GNC and for some reason do not like them, you can either return them for exchange or get your full money back. I tried a few different ones, and the powder I liked the most is called muscle milk. Hopefully this helps someone.:)

p.s. make sure and check with your local GNC I am not sure if this is a company policy.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I recently bought some Max Protein from there and fortunately I like it. I read about it on Eggface's blog. I got vanilla that way I can rotate different flavors of Crystal Light in it. I'll have to give Muscle Milk a try too.

One that I recently tried and liked from GNC is called Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60, chocolate. It comes in chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and fruit punch. Right now. it's buy one and get a second half price. The Supreme and Oh Yeah Protein Bars are not bad either.

I tried some shots that had like 42g of Protein and those things were terrible.

Hello All,

Thanks for replying I only tried three different Protein powders and I find the muscle milk in the chocolate flavor good. They have a few different flavors but I have no clue if they are any good. I will look into everyone's suggestions. I really enjoy the shakes with minced ice. As my kids say "Try it you'll like it" :001_smile:

I use a product called Syntha-6. The flavor I get is strawberry Milkshake. Just the smell of the powder makes you melt. I use skim milk to mix with. It actually taste like a milkshake.

I bought their dutch chocolate Isopure I hate it I bought it online but haven't found anywhere where it talkes about their refund policy. I do like their muscle milke and a new one that is all About Time Protein powder.

That's an awesome policy! Check with your local health food stores too... there's one here that will take the stuff back if you don't like it. I got one that's not too bad, but I'll have to see about trying the stuff BlaqBeary posted-- I love strawberry milkshakes!

Hello all once again,

I will look into the strawberry milkshake Blaqbeary posted. I tried the amplified wheybolic extreme 60 that Cknorte, and NC Redneck recommended and I liked it a lot. Maybe more than muscle milk, i'm not sure. Extreme 60 tastes creamier than muscle milk, and I find muscle milk to be more thick and rich. I prefer a lighter tasting drink, so I will probably go with the extreme 60. I also noticed a couple of huge differences between muscle milk and extreme 60. Muscle Milk total fat: 12, protein: 32, extreme 60 total fat: 1, Protein 60. I like extreme 60 when it comes to those stats, but maybe I might need the more fat? not sure? My wife just returned the Protein powders that I didn't like for a full refund, but like teh ericka said make sure you check your local stores policy, and keep the receipt.:001_rolleyes:

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
