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.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
