GNC shakes



Recommended Posts

I have test driven serveral brands of shakes. The GNC Lean 25, does not whey Protein isolate as a main component.

As for taste it was not bad, I needed it to be super cold. But everyones taste buds are different.

According to their site it's a meal replacement:

Same calories as the Isopure I drink, however it has 17 carbs to Isopure's 0.

On the other hand it does have 8 grams of Fiber...

I like to use it as the base to my smoothies, it mixes better than my powder from Walmart. Tastes good and a blends without grit. Without added fruit or yogurt, e.g. just mixing with Water or milk, it needs a little more time to rehydrate. I like the French vanilla. chocolate Peanut Butter was ok too but way better if you added a spoonful of PB2.< /p>

Has anyone tried GNC total lean shakes?

Is it considered a meal replacement drink

I can't remember If my nutritionist said to only drink half at a time

Any advice

That's all I drink, it has 170 Cal 25g Protein 2g Sugar 6g of Carbs. I drink the chocolate or strawberry. I love them and to me they taste yummy. I showed it to my Surgeon and he said it was perfect!!!! I have 2 a day and have more than 1/2 my Protein intake the rest I do with meals.

I was looking at these yesterday. For some reason, the RTD has way lower carbs than the powder. I compared the powder to my GNC Amp Wheybolic Extreme 60 and mine is the better one.

Also, I'm told that the concept of "net carbs" (carbs - Fiber = net carbs) is an Atkins thing and it's BS.

Yes the RTD does have 30 calories less than powder and it costs about the same. Im gonna have to check out the Isopure .

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
