Where do you get Isopure and are certain flavors better than others. Also...does it contain soy?

.

Actualy its clear so no dairy!

They come about 6-8 flavors.

I purchased 3 @ GNC to taste them for about $4 a bottle.

I went online & found them about $40 for a case of 12.

Drugstore.com has them the cheepest.

Actually you can get a HUGE powder container for like $45 at GNC before your member discount. There are TONS of flavors and even flavorless. I reccomend!!!

FYI

It's already prepared, no powder. It's recommended for your 1st week of clears.

Not sure if Imentioned drugstore.com has it in cases for cheaper.

Hi Neesh,

I go on week long liquid fasts every so often when my body just feels blah from too many carbs.

My experience...the first day or two is the roughest. After that it gets easier. I drink the low carb Slim Fast shakes in the can and I actually like them. Many times they're my Breakfast of choice even when I'm not dieting. During the liquid fasts, I drink 6 of them a day because I'm limiting my intake to under 1200 calories. Carbs are about 12gm for the day which does wonders for my blood sugar levels.

Headaches are usually nothing more than your body complaining about the change. They usually go away in a day or two and aspirin works well in the meantime.

Watch your activity level. When I do the week long liquid fast, I notch my activity level down a bit. I try to remember to just move a bit slower...no sudden moves.

Stick to it. You will be amazed at how good you actually feel after a few days. Little 'cheats' will delay your body's ability to adapt meaning the headaches, tiredness, etc. will continue for the entire time period.

Hang in there!

.

I do this too! I especially do it when I've hit a plateau (it really kick starts things). Glad to hear someone else does it as well!

You get more bang for your buck if u mix it yourself. 1 Tub is like over a months worth if u are on liquids. 1 case is 24. thats like a weeks worth.

I agree & bought a tub, but for your 1st week it was a God send... Where else are you gonna get 40 grams of protien on a liquid diet?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
