Facing the Battles

They just came out w white chocolate and for st paddy day shamrock flavor . I love the peanut butter ones and snickerdoodle they had during Xmas . White chocolate is good too . Now for all of you that love shamrock flavor mint you should try it , it’s like eating a McDonald’s shamrock shake but healthier I guess the way I should put it . Though it wasn’t minty were it hurts the stomach at least the one I tried so far didn’t eat them all yet lol . Some mint projects are to minty for the stomach . Well that’s my shoppers review of the new product flavors !!  These are amazing bars ! 

Some how I order a free thing of this. Never heard of it. The chocolate peanut butter was ok. I wasn’t a fan of the lemon pound cake. Though it does taste like pound cake . 

Low carb breads, rolls, desserts, mixes, pasta , bars, pizza, snacks , muffins.  Here are some sites given to me or that I found . I would like to share with all of you!  http://www.shop.greatlowcarb.com http://thinslimfoods.com http://locarbu.com https://dixiediner.com

I lost 80 lbs so far. I go to the nutritionist. 1. Key to weight loss eat   small portions  2. Eat low carbs under 17 grams or no carbs all protein drinks and bars will have carbs look for the lowest, no pasta , no bread  3. eat every few hours,  4. eat or drink 60 grams of protein a day,  5. low sugar or sugar free (all protein bars and drinks have sugar but some are low 1-5 grams )  310 protein drink is stevia sugar substitute which is better . 6. No fried foods.  7.  Frozen meals are horrible high in sodium . Get low sodium foods.  8. Eat veggies with high fiber   I eat protein bars /snacks /shakes as snacks and meal replacement for breakfast .  For main meals I eat salad and grilled chicken or chicken breast . Or you can have any protein turkey , fish, eggs. 

Before and after gastric surgery we are on liquid diets . Protein shakes , jello , soup broth, water , flavor water , ice pops, ect  How do you deal with liquids ? I've done liquids in the past. It wasn't that hard for me. I did drink at least 60 grams of protein a day. There are power proteins you can mix in with liquids as well. I did not like genepro. I like premade protein drinks more.  Though after surgery a lot of protein shakes bothered my stomach for a while . Whey isolate is better on the stomach then whey.  Ice pops that are sugar free I wasn't a fan of because they have aspertame.  Sugar free jello also has aspertame . Though before surgery I found a yellow island tropical hello that was good. Ralph's ices makes sugar free also.  I had chicken broth soup and sweet potato soup. Though to much sweet potato soup at first can bother your stomach. As well as soup gives gas pains more.  Sip slowly you will not be able to drink a lot. After surgery I wa...

I brought this chicken at Trader Joe's' . It is really good. It can be made in the microwave or on the stove. I like how it taste on the stove the best .  

Review  kays natural protein chip snack

If you are going to have any gastric kind of surgery. Please know what vitamins to take.  Always take multivitamin  B-12  D & C  Iron Then of course there's other supplements.  Does biotin help? Maybe it has helped make my hair a little longer . Sometimes I don't think it does anything. Though the dissolving ones taste good.  Pills / chewables vs vitamins patches  I can't swallow pills. Everything I get is crushable or chewable. I have taken flinstone  chewables. I take dissolving tablets. I do vitamin patches.  Now do vitamins md patches work? I did blood work and my levels have been normal. Though if you peel it off bad from the paper it won't always stick on you. Sometimes you have it on and it is hard to pull off. 

I've had many surgeries. Which now I cut out carbs or I should say I eat things with low carbs. I have to eat foods high in protein.  The best diets to follow are diabetic and gastric surgery diets. They help with weightloss.  I eat very little a few times and day. I get full faster. Do not over eat. If you do you will get stomach pain and nausea. Eat about 60 grams of protein a day. Drink plenty of water through out the day. I hate soda. I do drink a lot of water. I like the flavor core water bottles. I will buy a whole store of them.   I always been picky and still am. Though I changed the food I eat. I used to eat pasta all the time now I eat chicken all the time. I'm always having deli chicken or grilled chicken ceaser salads. I do use lite or fat free dressings. I also eat protein bars. See other blogs on reviews.  A big question people ask how can you not eat pizza. I didn't eat pizza for 8/9 years. I got used to it. Just recently I found cauliflower crust at T...

Protein drinks and drinking them as meal replacements.  1.   Gnc lean shakes are very popular. They are coming out with more and more flavors. My favorite is pumpkin and vanilla. These shakes are whey protein. They do fill me up just having it. I've brought the bottles and the powers. It's all preference. Personally I like the premade bottles better then the powers of shakes in general. If you don't mix it well you can taste the powers at times .  2.   Everyone on online knows about 310 shakes. Many celebs do it. They come in vanilla & chocolate. They have limited edition flavors strawberry , mocha , & Carmel. My favorite is the Carmel. I didn't like the strawberry one of this. Mixing these shakes you can mix it with yogurt & fruit. I'm a fan of the nutribullet.  3.   This one is alright. It is a thinner tasting. Though it does not fill you up.  4.   Many people like premier. I hated them all. Tried it wasn't a fan....

Hey everyone , I haven't blogged in a while. I am going to talk about protein snacks. Protein snacks are good to snack on throughout the day and some are used as meal replacements.  1.  Kays natural protein chips. This one is one I get about all the time. I have a nutritionist that gave me a sample of this. After I loved it. Everywhere I go I bring them to snack on. I get people come up to me and ask what are those? Friends , doctors offices ask me can I try one. They come in many flavors such as kruncheez , crispy parm, pretzels, almond puff ,Mac & cheese puffs , and many more. My favorite one is kruncheez. They have 12 grams of protein in them, 1 gram sugar , 14 carbs , 130 calories. I buy them off lucky vitamin or vistacost .      2.   Think thin protein bars . Yummy! Everyone loves junk food and junk food flavors. Now you can get cupcake flavor , salt Carmel , smores, cinnamon bun, and many more flavors. I eat the ones that are protein and fibe...
