Protein, Protein, Protein...

Hello!

I saw the doc for my post op visit yesterday and complained about being so very tired. Well, the answer to my problem appears to be Protein.

Seems protein is the answer to everything. Not only does protein prevent hair loss, and the drawn look people get from weight loss - it also helps increase energy.

I've been informed to increase my protein from 60g per day to 80-100g per day to increase my energy level. By the way, I wanted to share a tip that the nutritionist shared with me - I hate the chemical/weird smell of protein powders; well, the nutritionist suggested that I add extract to the shakes. I add 1 teaspoon to each drink and that has actually gotten rid of weird smell. She also suggested, almond, orange... extracts.

Just wanted to pass this along.

They told me the same thing. And When I got the 80 I really noticed a difference. I make 1 shake a day that I keep in the fridge and sip on all day long. When i don't feel like a shake I drink an isopure.

I also make a mean chili that is practically ALL protein once a week.
