GNC Protein



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried any of the Protein mixes that GNC has? I ordered some protein Unjury, and some other liquid and I have heard nothing but how bad it is, and I am afraid to open it and try it. I am thinking about sending it back if I can find another protein that I can buy locally that is good. Any suggestions?

The ONLY Protein Powder I use is nectar & it is fabulous! I get it at The Vitamin Shoppe or you can order from Bodybuilding.com & it comes in many fruity flavors. I have bought many others just to give them away & they aren't cheap so if you don't like Nectar you probably won't like anything. I've tried Strawberry-Kiwi & Artic Sky(fruit blend) & next I want to try the Lemonade. Oh & it has only 90 cal, 0 fat, 0 carbs, 0 sugar & 23 grams protein!

I bought the GNC ON (optimum nutrition) Gold, in "delicious strawberry" and "chocolate malt" flavors. I find the chocolate very good and the strawberry good. I mix them in the blender with Water and a little crushed ice, to avoid the calories and carbs in milk.

I also bought three bottles of Isopure, the orange/pineapple/banana, lemon iced tea, and apple melon. I thought the orange was lousy but drinkable, the iced tea absolutely awful, and I haven't tried the apple yet.

I tried the nectar and didnt like it at all. My dr. wants me to mix 30gms of protien with only 4oz. of Water and nectar might tast good if you mixed it by the directions. I use syntha-6 chocolate, Cookies and cream, vanilla and i like them ok. I get them at suppersuplements.

I use GNC's Pro Performance 100% whey -- Banana Cream is great, Vanilla is good too. They now offer Unflavored but I haven't opened it yet. I tried Mixed berry and I quickly took it back to the store, yuk! My partner uses the chocolate flavors by ON Gold Standard 100% whey, also at GNC. Those are really good too.

Banana Cream in the blender with either Soy or Skim milk and a couple of ice cubes is the best I've found. I put my powdered Vitamins and liquid Calcium right in the blender with it.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
