Premeire Protein Drinks from Costco - BEST EVER



Recommended Posts

They will definitely make it so I can get my Protein in, I just have to tell the cheapskate in me it's ok that they're more expensive then the powder. :)

I put a lot of value on not gagging and wretching. If you look at it that way, the price isn't an issue ;)

I was the same way, I kept trying to find a cheap(ER) Protein that I could stand and it finally got to the point that I was either going to have to spend more and just get the premieres or not get enough Protein. One I my biggest fears about the surgery was looking like death warmed over once I started really losing and most say that is cause by lack of protein.. So wallet lost out to looking healthy. :)

Body by Vi is a multi level marketing hustle. They sell mediocre(at best) Meal Replacement shakes that are no better than buying ensure or slim fast.

As is typical around almost all MLM products there is a lot of hype & excitement. They really need this hype to get you to pay their ridiculous prices for their products.

Lets compare their product to another popular one many here use.

Premier Protein

12pk of shakes are 18.88

They have 30g Protein per shake

quick math that comes to 5.23cents per gram of protein

Body by Vi

30 serving bag is 49

It contains 12g protein per serving

Same quick math it's 13.6cents per gram

30 X 12 = 360

49 / 360 = 0.136

Just out of curiosity lets compare that to nectar protein, which uses micro filtered whey protein isolate. The highest quality protein you can get.

Syntrax® nectar

144 serving tub is 32.41

It contains 6g protein per serving

The math here comes out to 3.75cents per gram

144 X 6 =864

32.41/ 864 = 0.0375

So as you can easily see, Body by Vi is almost 4 times as expensive as the highest quality protein on the market. And is almost 2.5 times the cost of the more convenient RTD.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
