5 out of 5 stars Delicious Warm   August 4, 2008
I am following the Cyclic Ketogenic Diet, and these things are heavenly. I can pack my lunch in 10 seconds!

I was serving these over ice and cold. But the secret is to drink them warm. They are sooo delicious. These are not thin and actually do satisfy your hunger.

I just drank one and I have been using them for about 8 weeks now. I am still amazed at just how good they taste.

If you're worried about the sucralose, don't be. As long as the rest of you diet is okay then you do not need to worry about the little bit of splenda that is in it. I have been able to stay in great ketosis during the week. You may want to add some flax seed oil to up the fat intake a little. I have been using these to bring me down from 226 to 189 pounds and going. THey dont cause stalls, at least for me.



1 out of 5 stars saccharin coated chocolate flavored chalk!   June 29, 2008
I think the title says it all.

I tried this after having the slim fast High protien drinks and reading that this low carb drink has more protein. I'm not on a lo carb diet, but low cal, high protein is my goal so I figured I pick up a few to try.

Neither my wife nor I could drink it. The taste was just awful. And it lingered long after my one drink. I had to get some water to wash it down, kind of like chocolate flavored cough syrup. Fortunately I don't have a case of these, only 2 four packs.

To each their own, but I'd warn you to try a small pack before buying a case. And I did just read one of the other reviewers suggestion on how to make this drink palatable. I'm glad I don't have to go low carb. I'll just stick to my Slim Fast High Protein drinks.

Serve it cold but not frozen. It is as good as a thick shake from McDonalds but with only 2 net grams of carbs & loads of nutrients. I have 1 for breakfast every day. Keeps me full through lunch.


5 out of 5 stars I'm type 2.   May 14, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I am a type 2 diabetic and wanted to something easy I could have as a snack or for lunch. I found that I was stressing so much over what I was going to have for lunch that would fit into my new life style change, I was getting overly hungry and then get a blood sugar spike from not eating. I tried the Atkins shakes, and they weren't taht great, but did the trick. But the sugar alcohols gave me gas. I heard about the low car slim fast but couldn't find them. Finally I found them at the Navy Exchange, and I love them.

I have tried many of the different shakes like this. Atkins for example. Non of them where really all that good. I found this in my local grocery store and figured why not.

This is the best low carb shake I have every had. I should have known, since I like the other slim fast products too. I am even happier now that I subscribe to amazons delivery service of once a month. Can't beat that.
